So tired of infections

This is going to be such a rant I’m sorry. So a little bit of context is that I got a lobe piercing as a 3 month old and had it for years before I finally removed the earring to put in other ones.

At some point the earring hole got tinier and tinier and just closed up so a year ago I went to get it pierced and well a month later it got infected with a sterile earring in. My mistake apparently was that I removed the earring and idk if I was supposed to do that or not the doctors weren’t of much help either so I removed it anyway.

This time however, I put in real gold earrings and even gave them a saline wash and it still got infected two weeks later :(
It’s so frustrating cus all I wanna do is wear earrings because I absolutely LOVE earrings. I don’t even know what to do because the doctors just gave me antibiotics but I’m scared even after that it will just keep getting infected.
