Expert Answer

Cut off the post if you're not planning on getting your ears pierced. You can cut the post off most earrings and then attach the jewelry onto a clip-on earring mechanism. Only use this method if you don't plan on wearing the studs in a piercing.

Question

What do I do if they hurt in the front and not the back?

Arayna Richardson

Community Answer

They are commonly known for hurting the back of the ear. But if they are hurting in the front, it might be irritation on the front of the ear or too much pressure from the front of the earring/design. Take it off because pain could indicate irritation and irritation could lead to infection or could be signs of an infection.
