How to deal with suppuration after ear piercing

The ear, as the human body's auditory organ, plays a very important role in our daily life. There are many acupoints distributed on the ear, which are also very important in our physical health. Not only that, ears also play a role in the expression of beauty, that is, ear piercing. A pair of suitable ear studs or earrings can add a lot to the wearer's image, so ear piercing is popular among many people. However, since the ear tissue is particularly soft, it is easy to cause suppuration if the technical and sanitary conditions for ear piercing are not met. What should I do if suppuration occurs?

If your ear hole accidentally becomes inflamed or abscesses form, don't be nervous. You can wipe and disinfect it with alcohol cotton, apply "Bactroban" ointment and other anti-inflammatory measures. If there are abscesses, squeeze them to remove the pus and blood, otherwise they will form lumps. After applying medicine and care, it will generally recover after a few days. If your ear piercing is really itchy and you can't stand it, you can use a sterile cotton swab dipped in alcohol to disinfect the ear piercing and the surrounding area. The cool feeling of the evaporating alcohol will make you forget the itch, and of course it will also make people who "think" the ear piercing is healed continue to disinfect the ear piercing. (The itching is usually caused by the new flesh growing as the body tries to heal the wound. First of all, congratulations on your ear piercing being healed. It won’t hurt to use alcohol at this time. If you can’t stand it, you can still use hydrogen peroxide.)

Note:

1. Don't touch it even if it itches sometimes. This requires strong self-control. Don't touch the area around the ear hole with your hands. Just wipe it with alcohol cotton.

2. When inflammation occurs, never touch water. Apply anti-inflammatory ointment or lotion.

3. If you are a girl with long hair, try not to let your hair get tangled in your earrings, which may cause unnecessary trouble. So, try to tie your hair up.

4. Avoid putting pressure on the inflamed ear while sleeping.

5. It is best to wear only small earrings before three months of age. Wearing larger earrings will make it difficult to see the ear holes and may cause damage to the ear holes.

6. If your ear is swollen and you can't wear the earrings, first check whether the earring heads are smooth, then apply ointment to lubricate them. Do not push hard, but twist them to wear them in (remember, twist them in, not push them in, pushing them in will not work~~ and it will be very painful). When twisting, check whether the angle at the back is correct. It is very important to choose a place with good conditions for ear piercing.
