What should I pay attention to after getting my ears pierced

With the development of society, people's pursuit of beauty is also advancing with the times. Nowadays, people dye their hair, perm their hair, do beauty treatments, do manicures, pierce their ears, etc., all to express their own personality. But beauty comes at a price, just like the ear piercing I talked about today. You need to use a needle or something like that to make a hole in the ear, which is not too big or too small. It will be a little painful because the skin is pierced after all. There are also many acupuncture points on the ear, so you should pay attention to maintenance. If you don't pay attention to personal hygiene, it is likely to get inflamed, which will not be worth the loss. So what should you pay attention to after you have just pierced your ears?

1. It is normal to feel swelling and pain in the newly pierced ears in the first two days. Do not touch it on the first day. Try to rotate it on the second day, slowly rotating it left half a circle and right half a circle. You can rotate it once a day. Disinfect your fingers with alcohol before rotating.

2. Replace your ear piercings with pure silver earrings within three days. When replacing them, first disinfect the earrings with alcohol and apply some Bactroban or erythromycin eye ointment. If you are worried that you can't replace it yourself, you can find an experienced friend or go to an ear piercing shop and ask them to help you replace it. (Some netizens asked whether plastic sticks are okay. They are okay, but plastic can easily breed bacteria, so it is recommended to use sterling silver, K gold, platinum or gold earrings, which are more conducive to the recovery of ear holes. Tea sticks are not recommended as they can easily cause inflammation of new ear holes.) Hand-pierced silver needles and medical steel punctures do not need to be replaced within one month.

3. Do not take off the sterling silver earrings within one month after replacing them. If there is no discomfort (redness, swelling, pus discharge, etc.), no medicine is needed, only alcohol cleaning is needed: In the first week, after taking a bath, you can use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to wipe the front and back gaps of the ear holes for disinfection. After the second week, wipe the ear hole gap every three or four days to clean and disinfect it.

4. Keep it waterproof for 3 to 5 days. If you wash your hair within a week, apply erythromycin eye ointment before and after earrings (clean the medicine with alcohol after washing), wear a shower cap, or go to a barber shop to wash your hair. You can use water after a week and dry your ears with a hair dryer immediately after washing.

5. Do not eat or eat less spicy food, seafood and other foods that are prone to ear piercing within one week after ear piercing, drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated.

6. Avoid scratching and squeezing, and try not to stay up late.

7. Avoid touching your ears frequently. There are too many bacteria on your hands, and frequent touching can easily cause ear inflammation.

8. It is recommended to wear gold or silver earrings in the first three months after the new ear piercing and do not change them frequently. After three months, you can try wearing earrings made of other materials, but if you feel any abnormality (itching, redness, swelling, etc.), replace them in time to avoid allergies.

9. Do not wear earrings that are too heavy or too large too early to avoid tearing the ear holes. The weight of the earrings should be increased gradually from light to heavy.
