Lobe pierced 62 days ago. took my shirt off and my shirt snagged my earing. its been sore for few days and burns when alcohol is applied. whats wrong?

Common: Clean with hydrogen peroxide. The alcohol is burning the raw exposed tissue from the tear when you pulled it. It does clean and disinfect the general skin surface. It should heal as a tract over due course.
