Ebony Wood Plugs with Turquoise Tribal Sun Top

I absolutely love these ones. They were the ones I was most excited about when I ordered. They're so pretty. The only problem I had, was that they really irritated my ears. Idk why, I've worn ebony wood and brass plenty of times in the past and never had a reaction. I wore these for 2 days and my ears got all itchy, red, and flaky. Within the next couple of days my lobes were swollen. I had to clean them, and wear my glass plugs for 2 weeks to get my ears to clear up. After a little while, I tried to wear them again thinking maybe I just hadn't cleaned them well enough. I tried to wear them again one day, and my ears were itchy and irritated by the end of the day. So I haven't worn them since. I ordered 4 other pairs of plugs with these ones, and none of those ones have caused a reaction so far. I'm not sure why, but I seem to be very allergic to these ones in particular, which really bums me out because I love them.
