I'm curious about your reaction, though. What are you allergic to, the piercing tool or the metal of the earring posts? The brief description you gave ("a great swollen red ear") sounds more like an infection to me, especially since you have obviously gotten more piercings.
Yes, it's a reaction to the material, even gold will make my ears flare. I had my navel pierced not even thinking about this sensitivity my ears experience. Turns out I can only wear titanium, or those kinds of metals or my body will react to it.

Even in my accident, when they internally banded my shattered heel with metal, my body rejected it and they had to do another operation to remove what was supposed to be a permanent placement.

My body may not like the intrusions but I love my piercings regardless hehe
