I suggest you to wear earrings with non-allergenic metals such as platinum or pure gold/silver and leave them in places for weeks or months, clean the sites with hydrogen peroxide twice a day if there is redness or discharge. With the studs in place, the canals can be established and those bumps will be suppressed or eradicated. You should avoid the cheap earrings which often cause allergy.
