Precautions and Aftercare for Piercing Your Ears
Hello! Today I want to talk about ear adornments. There are so many cute accessories, and I even pierced my own ears when I was in high school. However, I later struggled with allergies and infections, which made me afraid to wear earrings for long periods. Eventually, my piercings closed up completely. I've experienced a lot of pain, and to prevent others from going through the same, I've compiled some important knowledge about ear piercing and ways to enjoy ear fashion without getting pierced.
Points to Consider When Piercing Your Ears
Maintain a Clean Environment
When getting your ears pierced, it’s crucial to use clean equipment and a hygienic environment. To avoid infections, it's best to get your ears pierced by a reputable professional.
Check Your Body's Healing Ability
If you have a body that heals quickly, your piercing might close up easily. People with high metabolism or natural healing abilities should be particularly careful. If you sweat easily after meals or recover quickly from colds, your piercing might close up faster.
Thickness of Earlobes
Thicker earlobes take longer for piercings to stabilize and tend to close up more quickly. If you have thick earlobes, it might take 1 to 2 years for your piercings to fully heal.
Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential while your piercings heal. Keep your piercings clean daily, using disinfectant to wipe around the holes to prevent infections, and rotate your earrings regularly.
