Gentle cleaning with a Q-tip and soap and water should remove errant crust and keep the area clean and odor free. After washing daub the area dry.

Avoid sweating heavily while your ear lobes are healing or touching the area with dirty fingers.

It appears the big culprit of smelly piercings is inferior jewelry in the piercing. You need to have hypoallergenic posts or metals in the ear. This means you do not wear cheap plated metals. 14K gold, stainless steel, titantium are best.

The second problem is improper cleaning. Clean your earrings and gently clean the holes, with mild soap and water, NOT alcohol, which dries the healing area excessively.

If this does not solve the problem, you may have an infection caused by lbacterial and dirt buildup. If there is redness, swelling and pain, you DO have an infection and should see a doctor to get antibiotics.

After the redness, swelling and pain are gone, wash your ear lobes daily, just as you wash your body, do not wear excessively tight earrings (such as gauges) without removing them to clean in and around your piercings, AND clean the earrlings too.

Just clean your earlobes daily with soap and water, and make sure to clean your earrings every time you take them off. Try not to wear earrings for too long—give your earlobes time to dry and breathe. Also, I’ve heard that earrings made from low-quality materials can cause infections and even make your earlobes smell. So, avoid wearing those.

Earlobe odor can be quite annoying, right? 🙈 To keep it fresh, clean your piercings regularly with saline solution or mild antiseptic to eliminate bacteria. Always dry the area completely after cleaning to prevent moisture buildup. Choose quality hypoallergenic jewelry materials like surgical steel or gold, which can minimize irritation and odor. Avoid touching your earrings with unwashed hands to reduce the risk of transferring oils and dirt. 😊✨

Are you sure they aren't infected? Otherwise, take them out before a shower and use gold earrings, if you aren't already, instead of cheap metals.
