Cat claw went through my earring hole

Ok, so my cat was sitting on my lap this morning and pawed at my ear which resulted in his claw going through my earring hole (I haven't cut them in a few weeks, so they're pretty long.) It didn't hurt, but I flipped out and screamed. My cat was surprisingly calm though (despite my terrified reaction,) and so i was able to easily remove his claw from my ear lobe. I don't even have gauges, so it's just a regular ol' earring slit. It didn't hurt at first, but after a few minutes it started stinging just a little bit, and it's been about 12 hours. He's an indoors-only cat, but I don't know if i should still be concerned about infections or something. I tried googling it but I couldn't find anything 🤷‍♀️
