What Is The Treatment For Ear Swelling?

Hi,
I got my ears pierced about 3 weeks ago and they are really itchy. After rubbing them, they are quite red, still itchy and a little sore and swollen. Why are they so itchy? I am using surgical steel studs and have been spraying them with the disinfectant spray I was given regularly.
