Does it hurt to hit the ear bone? What's the harm?
Nowadays, many people like to punch their ears to look good, but after all, they are pierced ears. Does it hurt? Can hitting the ear bone do any harm to the body?

Does it hurt to hit the ear bone?

Punching a hole in the ear bone generally won't be particularly painful if anesthetic is used before operation, but it is not recommended because the ear nail punched in the ear bone may induce local infection for a long time. If it is above the earlobe, it may be a local skin infection. If you hit the ear bone, it may lead to cartilage infection. Cartilage infection is much more serious than skin infection, which may lead to cartilage inflammation of the whole auricle. Once the auricle cartilage is inflamed, it will easily lead to liquefaction and suppuration of cartilage, which will lead to morphological changes and affect the appearance of auricle, so it is recommended not to hit the ear bone as much as possible. Once you are hit, you should pay attention to the usual care, try not to touch the wound often, and at the same time avoid water from entering the incision of the ear bone. Once water enters or is polluted, it is easy to cause infection. It is recommended to disinfect with iodophor or alcohol every day for 2-3 weeks after the fight.

What's the harm of hitting the ear bone?

Ear piercing generally refers to piercing the auricle cartilage when piercing the ear. It is generally not recommended to puncture the auricle cartilage when piercing the ear, because this situation is more likely to lead to cartilage infection, auricle periostitis, and even secondary infection, which will seriously lead to auricle deformation. Therefore, it is generally recommended to puncture the soft tissue of the earlobe when piercing the ear, and the risk of infection is relatively small. If the auricular cartilage is punctured when the ear is pierced and secondary infection occurs, it must be treated as soon as possible. If the pain gradually relieves and heals within 3-5 days, it means that the problem is not serious. However, if the pain continues to worsen after 3-5 days, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time to control the infection and prevent the infection from aggravating and causing serious consequences.

What should I pay attention to when hitting the ear bone?

Patients should first pay attention to the disinfection of local wounds. A hole in the ear bone will obviously hurt more than a hole in the earlobe, and the healing time will be relatively long, because there is less soft tissue outside the ear bone and the blood circulation is relatively poor. Therefore, patients must regularly disinfect local wounds with iodophor or alcohol to avoid infection. Secondly, you can't touch the wound frequently, and you can't pull the ear nail on the ear bone at will, so as not to affect the wound healing. During the period of wound healing, you can also eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein, which is helpful for tissue regeneration.

What does it mean to hit the ear bone?

Playing the ear bone is to open the cartilage outside the auricle under the action of external force. If the operation is not careful, it may lead to cartilage and skin rupture and cause bleeding. It may also cause infection because the instrument contains some bacteria, causing local pain and swelling. In severe cases, the instrument may contain other infectious viruses, such as HIV and hepatitis B virus, leading to infection with such diseases. In daily life, ear piercing is generally not recommended. When necessary, do a good job of disinfection. Iodophor or alcohol should be used for disinfection.
