well....my ear piercing in my left ear is infected and i was wondering if anyone knew what i could do to uh..make it..what's the word.....uninfected? or better? without closing the hole and piercing it again, cuz i've already tried that and the hole won't freakin close
 anyhoo, any help would be appreciated =)

u should definately go to the doctor, and apply rubbing alcohol to the infected area...u might want to use a triple anitbiotic cream or something overnight, and try wearing silver or gold earring when it clears up so it doesn't get infected again...

Umm.. What I normally do, is just take the earring out everyday and clean it, and in the mean time, go buy a new set of earrings and put them in, because like me, you may be allergic to fake metal. Try claires or a store like that with quality earrings. Good Luck!

Take a Q tip and put alchol or peroxide ( spelling.
 ..dunno dont use that much so yeah..) But just rub some on everyday untill it looks better, Ihave my 1st hole peirced, 2nd hole the top of mah ear and my belly button, so thats happened to me a lot...ALSO You can go to the places where they pierce ears and they have a gel stuff to put on it. Hope that helps |

rubbing alcohol is too strong for the skin on ur earlobe and near ur piercing. so do salt soaks. thats how i fixed my cartilage piercing and i healed my bellybutton piercing with saltsoaks.
salt soaks For piercing cleaning/healing. Soaking an angry or new piercing in warm saltwater is one of the best things you can do for it. Many use saltwater as their only cleanser. Hot, it's a natural astringent and can be helpful in drawing out infection and pus. Most piercers prefer non-iodized sea salt; although some people have found that normal table salt can be an effective substitute. Conversely, most agree that epsom salts should not be used. The most common mix is a quarter teaspoon of salt per 8oz of water. The solution should taste as salty as your tears. (taken from the bme encyclopedia cuz i cudnt b bothered to xplain what salt soaks are) |
