What to do if yellow water oozes out of ear piercing and forms scabs

Is ear piercing considered minimally invasive? In the warm summer weather, wounds are prone to infection. If you don't take good care of your ears after piercing them, or if you get your ears pierced in an irregular place, they will be more likely to get infected. When the ear piercing is infected, the mildest symptom is redness and swelling. Many girls will experience yellow fluid oozing out of their ear holes or even scabs forming after getting their ears pierced, which is not only unsightly but also extremely painful. If a girl has yellow discharge from her ears after ear piercing and scabs form, she can take the following measures.

1. It is best to wait three or four days after getting your ears pierced before washing your hair. After washing, be sure to use a cotton swab to dry the moisture on the ear holes and the surrounding skin, then wipe the ear holes with hydrogen peroxide and apply some erythromycin ointment to prevent inflammation. In addition, it is best to change to plastic ear studs or ear sticks (tea stems are also good) three or four days after piercing your ears. It would be better if the ear sticks or ear studs are anti-allergenic, because most of the studs used for piercing the ears are not pure silver, and many of the so-called "pure silver" ear studs sold on the market actually contain other metal components, which can easily cause inflammation of the ear holes.

2. When changing earrings, first clean the ear holes with hydrogen peroxide (do not use alcohol, which is too irritating), insert the new earrings into the erythromycin ointment to let it stick to the ointment, and then insert them into the ear holes. Baidu Reading is giving out money, limited time only!

3. After washing your face, hair and bath, use a cotton swab to dry the moisture of the ear hole and the surrounding skin. If necessary, you can apply erythromycin ointment around the ear hole to prevent inflammation.

4. It is not recommended to take out the earrings frequently to clean the earrings right after piercing. When wearing earrings, just rub the area around the earrings with hydrogen peroxide, and then apply erythromycin ointment. Otherwise, it will be painful and difficult to insert the earrings back.

5. Try not to touch the earrings and ear holes with your hands, because there are a lot of bacteria on your hands, but you need to gently turn the earrings every day.

6. Keep the support behind the earrings as loose as possible to avoid inflammation caused by water accumulation.

7. After getting your ears pierced, try not to drink alcohol, eat seafood, or eat spicy food, as these can easily cause redness, swelling, and inflammation of the ear holes. It's best to wait until the ear holes have healed before eating anything.

8. Hydrogen peroxide is sold in ordinary pharmacies. Just say you want to buy medical hydrogen peroxide for cleaning and disinfecting wounds (hydrogen peroxide also has industrial uses, so be careful not to buy the wrong one). It is quite cheap, only a few dollars a bottle. Although erythromycin ointment is cheap, it is really effective. Even tattoo artists recommend it, so don’t worry about “cheap goods are not good”. Erythromycin ointment and hydrogen peroxide are both cheap and affordable, hehe. If you are worried, you can buy more expensive ointments, such as "Dawibon", which costs about 20 yuan or so and should be available in general pharmacies (I personally recommend erythromycin ointment, which is cheap and easy to use).
