What should I do if there is a lump in my ear hole?

Many girls like to wear earrings, but to wear earrings you have to pierce your ears, which requires making a hole in the ear. Since there is a wound, there will be accidents. Many girls will find hard lumps in their ear holes after getting their ears pierced. Sometimes it hurts, and some earlobes become swollen, making it impossible to wear earrings. So what are the hard lumps in the ear holes? Is there any way to remove the hard bumps in ear piercings?

The reasons why lumps are easy to form are roughly as follows:

1. The silver nails were not replaced in time after the gun was shot. When the nails were replaced, they could not be inserted because the nail heads were not smooth, and the ear holes were pierced with bacteria after being pierced;

2. Failure to apply medicine 1-2 times a day after ear piercing or the application time is less than 30 days.

3. Rotating the earrings too frequently. In the early stage of ear piercing, people often rotate the earrings for no reason, which causes bacteria to invade.

4. Students take off and wear masks frequently. Sometimes students take off and wear masks every day to deal with school inspections, and they do not disinfect with alcohol before taking them off.

5. Within one month after the earrings were pierced, the ear holes were pierced by the user's own ears after the earrings fell off, without any subsequent anti-inflammatory treatment.

6. After having your ears pierced for more than a month, you feel that you have completely recovered, but you become careless and do not use alcohol to treat the earrings after changing them, or you ignore the pierced ears for a long time, until you suddenly find that there is a problem with the pierced ears and a bulge appears on the back.

7. Metal allergy skin disease: after recovering to normal, allergic inflammation occurs after wearing metal earrings.

Guidance:

To avoid ear piercing inflammation and lumps, you should do the following:

1. The ear holes pierced by guns should be replaced with gold, silver or resin earrings as soon as possible. The gun studs should not stay on the ears for more than 2 days. If yellow fluid is found to be flowing or yellow scabs are formed, timely treatment should be taken.

2. Apply medicine twice a day for the first 3 days after piercing the ears, and once a day thereafter. People with normal constitution and thin earlobes should apply medicine for 20 days. After 20 days, wipe with alcohol cotton (or drop alcohol) every 2-3 days. People with thick earlobes, ear bones, or those who are allergic to metals should apply medicine twice a day, and once a day after 5 days for 45 days. Afterwards, continue with alcohol care for as long as possible.

3. Within 3 days after piercing the ears, rotate the earrings with a small amplitude of half a circle left and right. After 3-5 days, gradually increase the rotation amplitude. Before each rotation, you must first apply anti-inflammatory medicine or alcohol, and then rotate, otherwise bacteria will easily be brought in.

4. If you change the nails within 2 days of piercing your ears, or if you pierce silver nails directly by hand, do not remove or replace them at will within one month, and apply medicine every day until the skin inside the hole is completely healed.

5. If the earrings fall off accidentally within one month of piercing, you should disinfect the earrings, the front and back of the ear holes, and your fingers with alcohol or iodine before wearing them. When wearing them, you should aim at the back and gently rotate them left and right. If the needle end is not smooth, you should use high-quality smooth-headed silver earrings.

6. One month after the ears are pierced and the condition is stable after changing the silver studs, but you should never give up on care. After changing the silver studs, wipe them with alcohol cotton once a day, and the number of wipes can be gradually reduced to 1-2 times a week to ensure the cleanliness of the ear holes and normal recovery.

7. Be cautious when wearing decorative earrings such as hooks, large circles, and silver-plated earrings. If you feel uncomfortable after one or two days, you should replace them in time.

For those of you who have accidentally developed lumps or inflammation in your ear piercings, don’t worry. You can refer to the following methods to deal with it:

1. If a lump is found within two months of the piercing, use a disposable syringe needle or a sterilized sewing needle to disinfect the ear hole, then squeeze the abscess and prick it to squeeze out the pus. Rub with alcohol twice a day, use a toothpick to pick up some "Bactroban" ointment and apply it on the abscess and in the gap of the ear hole, then turn the earring.

2. For lumps that are more than two months old and no pus can be squeezed out after being pricked, you can mix pearl powder and water into a paste and apply it on the lump. It has a significant effect on lumps in the early stages of growth.
