Ok, so I thought I'd post this here incase anyone else has had similar issues. 

I had stretched both ears to 6ga over about a year's time, and due to an infection in my right ear I had to let the hole close.  About a year latter I had it repierced at a 6ga.  It's been about two months since I had that done and for some reason my ear has felt stiff in the back, kind of torn, and at some points while doing the salt soaks it bled a lot.  After trying several different cleaning techniques, sanitizing tons of things around the house, and not sleeping on that side, nothing has helped.

Come to find out I'm allergic to the silicon o-rings!!  I have really sensitive skin, and have had allergies to many other materials in my ears, but I never thought about o-rings.  So I have titanium hoops in right now and have some very happy ears :) Anyway, I just thought I'd share incase any others have had issues and hadn't thought of o-rings.

My piercer calls me his freek of nature because if something odd could happen with a piercing it usually happens to me!

Used to get it all the time at the shop. We just made sure we had both black rubber and silicone o-rings on hand.

I'm allergic to metal, but not o-rings. its pretty funny telling people that I'm allergic, and then they see all my piercings. its only to nickel so I can wear most high quality metal. My ears did the same thing yours did when I got them done, except so bad I had to get antibiotics or some other pill. I stuck some titanium CBRs in and they were fine in a few days

i had a similar reaction, you have to be careful not to put the o rings on too tight, because the skin cannot breath and hair, dust and dirt get stuck and cause a reaction
