Taking care of pierced ears
Dermatologists advise following some guidelines to prevent issues with ear piercings, such as infections or piercings that shrink or seal.
As this helps avoid infection, keep the earrings in your ears for at least six weeks and always wash your hands before touching freshly pierced ears. Additionally, to avoid infection, carefully wash your piercings with water and mild, fragrance-free soap at least once each day. Rinse them well to remove the soap.
Around each orifice, apply a small layer of petroleum jelly gently. Use a squeeze tube to stop yourself from spreading any germs. Because a moist wound heals more quickly, the petroleum jelly will keep the piercings moist.
However, if an ear becomes sore, red, or puffy, or if a hole starts to bleed yellowish liquid, you may have an infection. If any of these symptoms don’t go away fast, consult a dermatologist who is board-certified in this field.
