probably because your body is trying to heal its just like when you have a cut on your arm and you cant help but want to itch it

It's probably because your ears are used to a piece of metal sticking through it. If you went to a proper piercer they would have given you ear piercing antiseptic to take away some of the itch and the pain , if any . If not , you can go buy it at almost any drugstore . It will go away , just give it time .

You could be allergic to whatever the earring is made of.
A lot of people are allergic to nickel based earrings.
Also, it could just be a sign that its healing. Just try not to play with them too much

It is normal its a sign that they are healing.But let me tell you that you just had it done so wear gold earings up to a month until your ears heal.Good luck.

You probably have an infection. Wash the area twice a day, and maintain your application of neosporin. DO NOT apply pain reliever, this will irritate your infection, and prolong the healing process.

This is normal. All piercings itch at first. Also the cleaning solution might be drying them out which doesnt help. I put lotion on my ear lobes sometimes because the alcohol dries them out.

My piercer told me to only clean the piercings twice a day. Only clean them a third time if you go to the gym or sweat. Overcleaning them can lead to dryness and therefore itchiness!!

just wash it out with water
it often helps me
if not go to your doctor
