The dangers of having your ears pierced lower down

We usually choose to pierce the ears in the middle part of the earlobe. Some people have more ear piercings, or choose to pierce the lower edge of the earlobe. In fact, the choice of the location of the ear piercing is very particular. If the location is too low, it will leave many hidden dangers. We must be aware of the dangers of piercing the ear piercing too low and try not to pierce the ear in these locations. Let’s take a closer look at the hazards.

Hazard 1. Cause wound infection

As we all know, piercing the ears will definitely cause some wounds on the ears. If you do not pay attention to anti-inflammation and disinfection during the maintenance process, it will cause the ear wounds to become infected. Especially in summer, many people who get their ears pierced will experience redness, swelling, and suppuration of the wound due to improper handling. It is recommended that you use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to disinfect your ears after piercing.

Harm 2. Causes acupoints to become blocked

There are many reflex areas of human acupuncture points on the ears. If you just pierce the earlobe, there is no problem. However, modern people pursue trends and fashion, and often like to pierce their ears in the ear bones or other places. This can easily cause blockage of the ear acupoints and meridians. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a professional medical institution to confirm the acupoints before piercing your ears.

Hazard 3. Damage to the ear nerves

Although the ear belongs to the external ear, it still has many nerve systems. Some small or informal ear piercing institutions or individuals will only pierce the ears according to the customer's requirements. This can easily damage the ear nerves and cause ear damage. Especially in one ear, if you have more than two piercings, it is very easy to damage the ear nerves.

Harm 4. Scar hyperplasia

Many people who have pierced their ears will find that there are irregular and uneven protrusions on their ears, which is actually a type of scar hyperplasia. Ear scar hyperplasia is mainly caused by improper skin healing or wound infection during maintenance. Scar hyperplasia can cause burning, pain and itching in people's ears. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment once it is discovered.

Hazard 5. Affects eye vision

The ears are most densely populated with peripheral nerves related to vision. Several years ago, there was a report that a certain artist had his eyesight deteriorated and was close to blindness because he had too many ear piercings. Therefore, it is not groundless that incorrect ear piercing can affect vision. In fact, the ear bones of weasels are the area where optic nerve reflexes are densely distributed, making it difficult to pierce their ears.
