Are ear piercing allergies a symptom of infection?

Nowadays, piercing the ears has become a fashion among the rich. People decorate their ears with beautiful earrings. Some people choose to pierce multiple ear holes, which will bring many beautiful decorations. Within 7-10 days after piercing the ears, they must be kept clean. Try not to let water touch your face when washing your face. If you accidentally get your ears wet, you need to clean them in time. If your ears are allergic, you need to take anti-inflammatory medication in time.

Things to note when getting your ears pierced.

1. After piercing your ears, keep your earlobes dry and clean for 7 to 10 days. Avoid contact with dirty water and dirt when washing your face or hair. Avoid squeezing your ears when sleeping, and keep your ear holes dry and ventilated.

2. Keep rotating the ear needles daily to avoid adhesion between the needles and the skin and promote wound healing.

3. After the operation, disinfect the wound with 75% alcohol 1-2 times a day. You can also take vitamin C orally to help wound healing.

4. Do not fasten the ear needles and needle holders too tightly, otherwise it will easily cause swelling. It is best to leave a certain gap.

5. After getting your ears pierced, don’t take your earrings off for about six weeks.

6. If there is inflammation or infection after piercing, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Ear piercing taboo !

1. Women should not pierce their ears during menstruation, because at this time all organs in the body are congested and the resistance is relatively reduced. Piercing the ears can easily lead to bleeding and infection.

2. People with acute inflammation or chronic skin diseases in their earlobes should only have their ears pierced after the inflammation is under control and the skin disease is cured.

3. For people with scar-prone constitution, ear piercing can easily cause fibrous tissue hyperplasia and form keloids, which affects the appearance.

4. People who are allergic to metal ornaments are prone to allergies. If you experience redness, swelling, itching, or yellow discharge of the surrounding skin, you should take off the earrings immediately. After healing, you can switch to earrings made of other materials.

5. Avoid using chloramphenicol ointment as its sticky nature makes it more likely to absorb dirt.

The above are what I searched for. If you are not sure that the earrings you are going to replace are pure gold (the best ones are your mother’s old earrings, which have a high purity), then you should find two thinner tea stems, which are definitely better! That's how I saved myself.
