Why do my earrings stink so bad?

The cause of a gray or black piercing hole is usually jewelry made with improper or inferior metals that turn your skin black, gray, bluish-gray, or grayish-black in color. “Argyria” is the proper term for this condition caused by exposure to silver or silver compounds. This oxidization is what causes the gray stain.

Carefully try pushing the earring through the back side of the earlobe. Experiment with different angles, always using gentle pressure.
Should you take out earrings every night?
You shouldn’t take out new piercings — even at night — because the holes can close up.
