Sometimes allergy may be specific to certain metal but sometimes it may be generalized metallic allergy. In that case gold may not help. You may consider using other non metallic studs. You need to apply antibiotic steroid ointment such as neosporin H
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
