Many people reach a certain age and find that others look good in earrings, so they will think of getting their ears pierced. In fact, many people had their ears pierced when they were students. Many people will encounter a problem after having their ears pierced, which is inflammation, and sometimes their ears will be red and swollen. How do you care for your ear holes? How to prevent inflammation after ear piercing?

1, How to care for ear holes after ear holes

1, care with a proper amount of chlortetracycline ointment, squeeze out a little every day and apply it on the newly punched ear hole, and seal it to avoid accidental wound water.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and careful care for the ear hole that has just been punched, and insist on disinfection with medical alcohol every day, so that the ear can recover as soon as possible to prevent inflammation. This is very, very important for people who have just had their ears pierced.

3, usually it is best to tidy up your hair first, to avoid accidentally hanging on the earrings. Pay attention to the comb when combing your hair, and try to be careful when sleeping. In principle, it is best to lie on your back.

4, a few days after the new ear hole, it is recommended to use plastic earmuffs when washing your hair. The principle is to try not to touch the earrings, so as not to stimulate the wound, and it is best not to go into the water. In case of water, please wipe it with a cotton swab in time to keep the wound dry.

5. Too much belief in keeping the ear holes clean, and frequent medication will be counterproductive. Because wound healing needs a certain process, so don't always touch it when it is trying to heal, and deal with it once a day. If there is pus in otitis media, gently squeeze out the pus with two cotton swabs, and then add an appropriate amount of chloramphenicol eye drops. If it is inflamed, don't use ointment.

6. Other pets, such as puppies, actually have little effect on your ear holes. It is best to wash your hands after touching the puppy, and don't touch the skin near the ear hole after touching it.

7. It is recommended to try earrings that are not pure silver and gold for more than half a year, and it is best to take them off within half a day. Otherwise, it is easy for inflammation to recur.

8. If the healing is normal, the wound will begin to heal in a week or so. At this time, you can gently turn the earrings. Strength should be painless. When you can freely rotate your earring without pain, congratulations, you can replace this earring. But you can't wear too exciting earrings at this time. The new skin of the ear hole is still very fragile, so it is recommended to choose an ear nail with a round cross section.

2. The harm of improper ear piercing

1, ear bone perforation is easy to be inflamed and may lead to facial paralysis.

Some young people like to wear a row of earrings or earrings on their ears, thinking it is fashionable. But in fact, it is much more dangerous to punch holes in auricle cartilage than in earlobe. This is because the auricle is mainly composed of cartilage, the blood circulation is worse than that of the earlobe, and the resistance to bacteria is also poor, so it is more susceptible to infection. In case of infection, the effect of anti-inflammatory antibiotics on auricle is not obvious. If the infection is serious, it is likely to develop into suppurative periostitis and even lead to auricle atrophy. Moreover, if the auricle is perforated, even if it recovers well, it may be easily collided or pulled because of the position of the auricle, so long-term stimulation of cartilage may cause cartilage inflammation and thickening again. In addition, never make a hole in the tragus (the "small ear" outside the ear hole), because the trauma is too deep, which may lead to facial paralysis.

2. Street shops with pierced ears are susceptible to blood-borne diseases such as AIDS.

Otolaryngology experts said that wiping equipment with alcohol in the street is only used for piercing ears, but it can't actually play a role in thorough disinfection. The scientific approach is to go through high-pressure disinfection every time to prevent cross-infection caused by using instruments. If the equipment for ear piercing is unsanitary, there will be pain, itching, redness, running water, pus and other symptoms in the ear piercing, and in severe cases, there will be complications and sarcoma in the ear piercing. Once the above problems occur, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. In addition, if you use unclean equipment to get your ears pierced, you may be infected with blood-borne diseases, such as AIDS and hepatitis B, so you must choose a regular institution to get your ears pierced.

3. Dermatitis caused by metal allergy

Many metal earrings usually contain a certain amount of nickel, chromium and other ingredients, especially those synthetic metal ornaments with low price and poor quality. The added ingredients are more complicated, which may easily cause skin allergy, even erythema, blisters, itching and other symptoms, leading to contact dermatitis.

4. Improper care and inflammation after ear piercing

You must disinfect your ears regularly and take good care of them. Some women think that just wear earrings and pierced ears. Since then, they are indifferent to the ear cavity, and without timely care, it is easy to cause ear cavity inflammation.

5. Wear heavy earrings for a long time, and be careful that the earlobe becomes two halves.

If the earrings are too heavy, the pull on the earlobe will be great, and the ear holes will become bigger and bigger. If it is serious, even the earlobe will split in half like Miss Li. Therefore, women who love beauty are advised not to wear heavy earrings. If you must wear it, take it off in time to avoid damage to the earlobe.

6. Earrings fall into the ear canal, causing injury and infection.

Some women like to wear small earrings. If they accidentally put earrings in the ear canal, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time. Because the human ear canal is curved and very soft, it is easy to damage or infect the ear canal with an ear scoop or other hard objects.
