The pierced ears are red, swollen and itchy! The classmate also said that there are some small white spots on the earlobes.

Ear piercing maintenance must be regular

Ear piercing inflammation confuses many women, and many women are afraid of having their ears pierced because they are afraid of inflammation. In fact, there are several types of inflammation of the ear piercing. Some are caused by thick water coming out of the ear piercing, some are swollen like a bud, and more often it is because the ear piercing has only been used for a few months and has not completely healed.

In fact, maintenance after ear piercing is very important. Don’t let ear piercing inflammation bother you who love beauty anymore. Show your fashion, challenge your personality, and let’s show off different colors together.

1. The best time for ear piercing: The best time for ear piercing is March and April and September and October every year, because the weather is just right, neither cold nor hot. Other times it is either too cold or too hot, which is not conducive to ear recovery. 2. What kind of nails should be worn after the piercing: If you want to avoid allergies and inflammation, it is best to wear sterling silver nails at that time. However, nowadays in China, guns are generally used for ear piercing, and the nails made by guns cannot be replaced at that time because they cannot be replaced. , it is extremely painful when changing, so the wearer is asked to change the silver nails after 3-7 days. If the wearer is not sensitive to gun nails, it will be fine. If the person with skin allergies wears it for 3-7 days, the ears will be "horrible", so It is best to pierce directly with silver nails by hand or go to a place where the nails can be replaced painlessly with a gun.

3. Anti-inflammation care after piercing is very important: Alcohol or hydrogen peroxide is necessary. Ear piercings must be cleaned and disinfected every day. Do not remove earrings. Just wipe the gaps before and after the piercing. ( Don’t wear the earplugs too tightly, leave some gaps in the front and back, they are breathable and easy to care for). It is best to apply some ointment (erythromycin or Baiduobang) after cleaning and disinfection. Use a sterilized toothpick to pick a little and apply it to the gaps before and after the ear piercing. That’s it, then turn the earrings so that the ointment can slowly penetrate into the ear holes.

Personal experience: Make sure you don’t feel any bad feelings when you turn the earrings. It will be harvested when the time comes, about a month. Before the wound heals, it is generally difficult for earrings to penetrate into the hole, and it is easier to poke the wound. As a result, new injuries appear before the old injuries have healed. In fact, it takes about a year for the ear piercing to truly grow in. During this period, water will flow and you will feel itchy. At this time, remember to use a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant or hydrogen peroxide to clean it.

People with sensitive skin and scars must be careful when piercing ears, because according to scientific principles, it is found that the skin of the ear is the best test for a person’s true skin type. If the inflammation is severe, you must go to the hospital in time. solve.

In addition, I would like to give some advice to those with skin allergies: a. Be sure to find a hygienic place for the injection, and disinfect the earrings when replacing them. b. Earrings must be hypoallergenic, or made of platinum. If you are allergic to gold or silver, you can use resin.

4. Medicines required to maintain ear piercings: Many people use erythromycin eye ointment. In fact, the disadvantage of erythromycin ointment is that it is too greasy, can easily cover the piercings, is not breathable, and is easy to stain. Dust is not conducive to refreshing the ear piercing. In fact, according to the characteristics of erythromycin ointment, it is good to use it for waterproofing. Apply some before and after taking a bath to prevent water from entering the ear hole. For daily anti-inflammatory treatment, I still recommend "Baiduobang" ointment, which has good anti-inflammatory effect and is not greasy. Of course, the price is slightly more expensive.

Instructions for use: In the first week of piercing the ears, use "Baidobang" with medical alcohol. Apply medicine and care once a day. Earrings cannot be removed. Use alcohol cotton to wipe the gaps in the ear holes front and back, and then use disinfectant Dip the toothpick into the ointment and apply it into the gap of the ear hole, then turn the earring.

In the first few days, avoid eating irritating and irritating foods, such as seafood, fish, mutton, etc. Keep your ears clean and avoid touching them to avoid damaging the ear holes. Do not remove earrings for a month, etc. After the ears are completely grown, replace the nails.

4. Earrings that are most suitable for maintaining pierced ears: generally pure silver, pure gold, or pure platinum, which will not cause inflammation. Some people have very sensitive skin and wear gold or silver. No, resin earrings are the only option. In the first one or two months, never wear plastic ear sticks, because the ends of the ear sticks are cross-sectioned and very rough, and it is easy to scratch the ear holes and cause inflammation when worn.

Many earrings on the market, including some famous brands, are not pure, so they are prone to inflammation. Many very beautiful Korean popular earrings are basically not pure, so the way to control it is that you'd better not be obsessed with fashion. Wait until the ear piercing has completely grown out before chasing fashion. You have not taken good care of your ears in the first place. The hole is usually prone to inflammation in the future, and then the gain outweighs the loss.

Friendly reminder: Do not wear large, heavy earrings or hooks in the first one or two months, because the ear piercing is still relatively fragile and can easily strain the piercing, causing it to droop or even pull apart. You must wait until the ear piercing has grown firm before wearing it. You can start wearing smaller earrings first. The front and back of the piercing are breathable, unlike earrings that always block the piercing.

5. Recommended new method of ear piercing: medical steel piercing + 316 medical steel nails or pure silver or pure gold nails: This is the combination I want to recommend to everyone. The material is safe and non-allergenic, and the pain is minimal. You can touch it with water on the same day. Just spray some hydrogen peroxide or alcohol after touching the water to disinfect it. It will not cause inflammation.

Because it saves time and effort, if you choose this ear piercing method, the price is about 2-3 times that of ear piercing in ordinary stores. In fact, this method of ear piercing became popular abroad as early as two years ago.

The above is a small talk from personal experience.

One last word, don’t pierce your ears too much, just remember to do it in moderation. Although everyone loves beauty, it is not advisable to do too much. Another reason is that the ears are a sensitive area with many acupuncture points, so it is better to be cautious.

How to prevent ear piercing inflammation? What should I do if it becomes inflamed?

After piercing the ears, people only need to change the gold or silver earrings within a few minutes, or directly insert the silver earrings into the ears manually, and do their own medicine and care. Measures: If the earrings are not removed or fall off within a month, there will be no inflammation. Friends who have had their ears pierced should experience this firsthand. But why do we sometimes encounter ear piercing inflammation? There are roughly the following reasons:

First, to prevent earrings from accidentally falling off. 1. For ear piercing, choose thick ear studs and a tight plug with a silver needle shaft diameter of 0.7mm or above; 2. If the selected silver stud is <0.7mm, you can insert the plastic plug into the silver needle horizontally, and it will not fall out for a long time (this The French store has a professional wearing method, which is not easy to operate by yourself); 3. Bend a small ring at the back of the silver nail (no straight hooks are allowed) to ensure that the pillow cover will not be caught. In these three wearing methods, there should be a 2mm gap between the earplugs and the ears to facilitate ventilation, medicine application, and rotation.

Secondly, if the earrings fall off accidentally within one month and then cannot be worn again or if you want to change to other earrings, they will scratch the inner wall of the ear hole and cause inflammation. Within one month after ear piercing, there is a process of skin regeneration in the hole. A thin and tender film has just been formed, which is not enough to resist any slight scratches from the outside world. During this period, if the earrings accidentally fall off or get injured, Or you want to change to other earrings, but find that you can't put them on. If you wear them hard, it will cause scratches, bleeding, and bacterial infection, which will lead to inflammation. Some friends say that the ears cannot be pierced because they are pierced at an angle. In fact, you think that if they are really pierced at an angle, they should be pierced. Therefore, if you pierce your ears anywhere, you are required not to take them off or wear them at will for a month. To a certain extent, if your earrings accidentally fall off or you are not sure about replacing them for the first time, it is best to find a professional store to help you put them on.

Third, the choice of silver nail quality. The severe pain and inability to wear earrings when changing them are related to the quality of the earrings and the shape of the head. There are many types of earrings on the market today. Some varieties have delicate processing techniques. The ends of the earrings are cut off and then fired at high temperatures. The end face is smooth and arc-shaped, making it comfortable to wear; there are also some silver earrings (rings) with simple processing technology. The silver nails are directly processed into finished products after cutting. The end face of the nail is 90° to the nail stem, and the edge is sharp. Some people lack experience in wearing earrings. Friends, wearing this kind of earrings is more likely to damage the ear holes.

Fourth, do a good job of cleaning and care. Some friends have always been fine after getting their ears pierced, but they are careless and don't take care of them. Sometimes they hurt or bleed after being pierced, and they don't take timely anti-inflammatory care, resulting in inflammation of the ear holes and pustules. Therefore, cleaning and care afterwards is also very important. If you have pierced ears, alcohol and cotton swabs should be a common stock. Within a month, you should frequently use alcohol cotton to clean and wipe the gaps before and after the pierced ears. Just like washing your face every day, pierced ears need to be cleaned every day, and they need to be cleaned after scratches or bruises. Don’t be careless when applying medicine and care. Only careful care can make the ear piercing complete quickly and healthily.

Therefore, the above prevention of ear piercing inflammation can be briefly divided into the following four points:

First: Preventing the earrings from falling off is a prerequisite;

Second: Accidents It is a principle not to forcefully wear them after they fall off;

Third: It is also important to choose earrings that do not scratch the ear holes;

Fourth: Do a good job of cleaning and care in the future.

If the ear piercing accidentally becomes inflamed or a pustule develops, don’t be nervous. You can use alcohol cotton to wipe and disinfect it, apply "Baidobang" ointment and other anti-inflammatory measures. If there is a pustule, squeeze it to squeeze out the pus and blood. Clean it, otherwise it will form hard lumps. After applying medicine and taking care, it will usually recover in a few days.

If your ear piercing is really itchy and you can’t stand it, you can use a sterile cotton swab dipped in alcohol to disinfect the ear piercing and surrounding area. The cool feeling of the evaporation of the alcohol will make you forget about the itching, and of course it will also make you feel itchy. People who “think” their piercings are healed continue to disinfect their piercings. (The itchiness is usually caused by the new flesh growing when the body needs to heal the wound. First of all, congratulations that your ear piercing is almost done. It won’t hurt if you use alcohol at this time. If you can’t stand it, you should use hydrogen peroxide) < /p>

Notes:

1. Sometimes it is itchy but don’t touch it. This requires strong self-control. Don’t touch the area around the ear hole with your hands. Just wipe it with alcohol cotton. alright.

2. Never touch water when inflamed. Apply anti-inflammatory ointment or liquid.

3. If you are a girl with long hair, try not to let your hair get entangled in the earrings. This will cause unnecessary trouble, so try to tie your hair up.

4. Do not press on the inflamed ears when sleeping.

5. It is best to wait for three months In the past, I only wore very small earrings, and other larger earrings were inconvenient to see the piercing and may cause damage to the piercing due to my own carelessness

6. If your ears are swollen, If the nail cannot be put in, first check whether the head of the earring is smooth, and then apply ointment to lubricate it. Do not push it in hard, but turn it in (remember, turn it in, not push it in. If you push it, it will not go in) ~~And it will be very painful) When turning, you need to check whether the angle behind is correct.
