More and more young people like to pierce their ears, but pierced ears are a small wound after all, and there are still many things to pay attention to. The following describes the nursing matters before and after pierced ears, as well as the taboos of pierced ears.
8 details to pay attention to before ear piercing
1. Choose the best time
Every spring and autumn is very suitable for ear piercing. The weather is neither cold nor hot. However, everything recovers in spring and bacteria are more active, so autumn is the most suitable season. After piercing the ear hole, you will feel itchy or swollen for a short time. Please don't touch it with your hands. In addition, in order to reduce the chance of infection, ear holes should not be made during menstruation.
2. Go to regular institutions to pierce their ears
Many mm think that ear piercing can be solved by spending a few dollars on the street, but the hygiene of street vendors is actually difficult to meet the standard. It's still a small matter to cause redness, swelling and inflammation. If they catch persistent diseases because of ear piercing, it's not worth the loss! It's best to go to a regular institution to have ear holes. Although the price is a little more expensive, it can ensure your health. After pierced ears, apply the area with 75% alcohol 2-3 times a day for at least 1 week. If the inflammation caused by the wound is very serious, you must not delay with the psychology of 'it may be better in a few days'. Go to the hospital quickly!
3. Don't pierce the auricle or tragus
Drilling holes in the auricle, tragus and other places with cartilage tissue is very easy to cause infection. In severe cases, it will lead to cartilage necrosis and deformation, ear atrophy, and even induce facial nerve paralysis. This is because the blood circulation of ear bones is worse than that of earlobes, and their resistance to bacteria is also poor, so they are more vulnerable to infection.
4. Pay attention to nursing after just drilling ear holes
Ear holes are easy to be inflamed with water, so don't let your ears get wet for a few days after playing the ear holes. The specific method is not to wash your hair. When washing your face, wipe your face with a towel instead of directly taking the water on your face; Avoid squeezing your ears while sleeping and keep your ear holes dry and ventilated. In addition, try not to wear tight fitting clothes in those days to avoid pulling the wound when wearing and taking off clothes. After those days' dangerous period ', pay special attention to shampoo. After washing, gently dip the water around the ear holes with a clean cotton swab.
In addition, try not to drink, eat seafood and spicy stimulating food after pierced ears. It is easy to cause redness, swelling and inflammation of pierced ears. It is best to eat when the pierced ears grow better.
5. Material of earrings
Pure silver, pure gold or pure platinum earrings will not make ear holes inflamed, which is a safer choice. If you like a beautiful and unique earring, but it is not pure gold and silver, you must control yourself! You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It's not too late to wear your favorite style until your ear holes are completely long.
6. Turn the earrings often
After drilling the ear hole, gently rotate the ear needle every day to prevent it from adhering to the skin. Some girls' ear holes will flow out of pus, stick the ear holes and earrings, and the earrings will be very painful as soon as they turn! If you are worried about this, you might as well try a simple method: dip a little erythromycin on the ear pin of the earring, and then put it on. Pay attention not to buckle the ear needle and needle holder too tightly, otherwise it is easy to cause swelling. It is best to leave a certain gap.
7. Don't worry about getting new earrings
Many girls are anxious to put on beautiful earrings or earrings within a few days after they pierce their ears, but that can easily lead to inflammation. Replace the earrings before the wound is completely healed. It is difficult for the ear needle to poke into the ear hole, and it is easy to poke into the wound. The old injury has not recovered, and the new injury appears again. It's best to leave time for the wound to heal. When you don't feel uncomfortable when you rotate the earrings, you can replace the earrings. The time is about a month.
8. Do not wear earrings for a long time to prevent them from growing
