If they get all itchy and red, put a little bit of antibiotic ointment on there, like neosporin.
Relax.

Are you twisting it too much? Touching it isn't going to make it bleed.

After you clean it WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE get the bleeding to stop with a clean cotton ball or cloth. Then put some antibiotic OINTMENT (not cream) on your ear and leave it be.

I've used neosprin on my ears if they needed it and never got any scar tissue. I have 3 holes in each ear, 2 in the lobe and 1 in the cartlidge. I've also had my tragus pierced and THAT piercing sucked ASS to take care of. It was hell.

If it's bleeding your going to need to keep it clean and take care of it or it may get infected.
