Is the itchiness from ear piercing going to go away soon?

Although piercing your ears is very simple, it does cause trauma to your body and requires a gradual recovery process. We all know that wounds will experience itching during the healing process. Therefore, when some people encounter similar situations, they cannot judge whether it is an infection or inflammation, or whether the wound will heal immediately. So, will the itching from ear piercing be healed soon? Let’s take a look below.

Is the itching in the ear piercing going away or is it inflamed?

If there are no other abnormal symptoms except itching in the ear piercing, and the ear is not red, inflamed, or festering, it means that the wound in the ear is recovering and healing, and the wound will soon heal. Because the newly grown blood vessels and nerves are squeezed together with other tissues, the sensitive nerves are stimulated and itching occurs.

If the ear hole is red, swollen or has lumps in addition to itching, it is most likely inflamed and it is best to have a careful examination. Go to the pharmacy to buy erythromycin ointment and apply it regularly every day to speed up the recovery of the ear piercing wound.

Things to note after getting your ears pierced

1. Be careful not to squeeze your ears when sleeping, and be careful not to touch your ears when putting on or taking off clothes.

2. It is best not to wash your hair or take a shower on the night after getting your ears pierced, and keep the ear holes dry and ventilated. If you have to wash your hair or take a shower, be sure to take waterproof measures, otherwise the ear hole will easily become festered.

3. Within one week after piercing your ears, rotate the earrings every day to prevent the ear needles from sticking to the earlobe skin.

4. Disinfect your ears and earrings with alcohol every day. Medical alcohol and cotton swabs are sold in pharmacies. Remember to buy some and keep them at home.
