I pierced my ear now I need help it hurts a little.
I just pierced my ear. I have talked to friends with piercings and want another opinon. Here are some helpful methods for easing the tenderness of a freshly pierced ear. Tips are simple and straight forward.
So you new ear piercing is a little sore here is what you should NOT do. Stay away from hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol. These slow down new skin cell growth. Don’t use ointments these attract dust and create a seal around the sore spot that slows oxygen that aids in healing. Do use a salt soak method. Get the area of the ring or stud cleaned without trouble. Use teaspoon of table or sea salt in eight onces of warm water. This should help ease the pain.
Remember keep your piercings clean. This is a well known way to avoid soreness and infections with any piercing. Do use a mild antiseptic like bactine. Or a good liquid antibacterial soap can work as well. If it is to harsh dilute the soap and water mixture to about a 50, 50 mix. This will go a long way in easing the soreness in your new ear piercing.
About every two or three times a day saturate a cotton swab or q tip with the cleaning solution. Apply this to the pierced area. Let it soak for three to five minutes. It will loosen the dried matter around the piercing. Rotate your jewelry while the area is wet. If soreness persists get help from a physician. Visit bodypiercingsafe.com for more great advice.
