Here is a step-by-step guide of how to care for your new ear piercing while it heals.
It is important to do everything possible to prevent dirt and bacteria from getting into your new piercing. Therefore, make sure that you don’t touch your newly pierced ears without first washing your hands.
Cleanse the new piercing in your ear thoroughly in front and in back, morning and evening. Keep the earrings in your ear, even during cleansing.
Use a liquid soap and we recommend that you cleanse the piercing while showering/washing your hair. Rinse thoroughly with running water and dry the area with a clean tissue or Q-tip.
Note! Do not cleanse using alcohol.
Make sure that you always keep your new piercing clean, dry and airy.
When using hairspray, perfume, makeup, hair dyes, etc., it is a good idea to cover and protect your ears.
Be extra careful when pulling clothes over your head so that the earrings do not snag and get caught in the clothing.
When swimming in a pool, lake or the sea: Wait with this as long as possible, or avoid dunking your head under the water. After swimming, cleanse the piercing using a liquid soap.
After about 6 weeks (about 12 weeks for cartilage), you can switch to other earrings. Here is how to remove the piercing earrings. Wash your hands and ears carefully. We suggest that you switch to other earrings immediately after showering/washing your hair. Grasp the earring on the front side of the lobe. Use your other hand to grasp the earring back, on the back side of the lobe. Then, firmly wiggle the earring back, back and forth until it comes off. Carefully remove the post earring and put in a clean, new earring.
It takes up to a year before the piercing is fully healed, so make sure to keep the following in mind:
• Always wear earrings. Otherwise, the hole can shrink and/or close up again.
• Be careful when switching earrings. Because the skin that has formed inside the hole is thin and delicate, it is also easily damaged and at risk for infection. Therefore, clean the earrings and your hands before you put the new pair in. Also, make sure to still keep the piercing clean, dry and airy. If you use earrings with an earring back, you should not squeeze it tightly against the back of the lobe.
• An ear piercing makes the skin extra sensitive and the risk of developing an allergy is greatest during the first year. Be extra careful with your choice of earrings!
Redness, swelling, pain or rash. If you have had your earlobe pierced, take out the earring and cleanse your ear. If it is not better when you wake up the next day, consult with a doctor. If you have had the cartilage in your ear pierced, take out the earring, cleanse, and consult with a doctor immediately.
