My staples are really starting to hurt (x post)

Is this normal?   They have a ring around each of prong about 1/2 cm wide.  I have allergies to certain earrings, could the same thing be happening with the staples?  I am one week out and have not put anything on my stomach.  I can't imagine they are infected.  Any thoughts?

Jaime,

I would call your doctor to see what they have to say.  They may have you put something like benedryl cream on them but call just to be sure.
