ear piercing

Hi
My daughter had her ear pierced just up from the lobe on Thursday.
I dont think it went through cartilage.
Today, Sunday, she took the back off to clean it and the stud came out.
She can't get it back in and the ear has swollen slightly trying.
It is now sore.
How long before it heals over i.e give up trying. Leaving it at the mo for
the swelling to go down.
How long before she could have it repierced if neccessary?
Any other advice apart from handcuff her to stop her fiddling!
Cheers BB

Swollen slightly from trying and being sore seems natural to me.

Surrender now! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and visit your piercer
when you can.

Again, surrender. Enjoy your weekend. Ask the piercer.

My girlfriend tried to replace a piece of jewelry that I'd removed
from my earlobe, but the hole had slammed shut like a door. Nothing
doing.

She tried valiantly to get the sucker back in my ear with no success
but also no cross infection either although I suffered the same slight
swelling and soreness from the attempt.

Googling the subject resulted in the following trivia:

"Redness, swelling,inflammation and the exudation of serum (weeping )
all signify that the ear is infected."

As well as:

"Closed holes are caused by removing the studs too early, or by not
continuing to wear earrings after the removal of original studs."

The following may also prove of interest:

"Aftercare and advice

After the ear piercing treatment the client should be given clear
instructions on how to care for her ears to prevent secondary
infection. The studs must not be removed for six weeks. Invite the
client to return to the salon after the six - week period for you to
remove the studs. Remind the client always to wash her hands before
cleaning the ear area. (If someone else is going to clean the ears,
she also must wash her hand with soap and warm water before touching
the clients ears.) The ears should be cleaned twice daily, using an
eau de cologne or surgical spirit. The lotion may be applied as
directed by the manufacturer. If surgical spirit is used, this should
be applied to clean cotton wool, and the cotton wool squeezed to allow
the surgical spirit to run around the stud, at the front of the ear
and then at the back." /copy and paste

Not relevant to your situation exactly but the six weeks advice
probably would've been a good thing to take note of.

Best of luck. Please post a follow-up.

DO NOT EVER TAKE HEALING ADVICE FROM CURT!

Period.

He did not reference his source. Wonder why? Probably from Claire's.

But note he does reference the use of "spirits." That's alcohol.

Reference LITHA or LIMA.

Curt abandons more piercings than he has ever healed. He calls it
"the experience." The experience he has is only getting the initial
piercing. He has much less experience in healing. He removes the
jewelry long before the piercing is healed.

Notice he didn't say how HE healed a piercing. Again, wonder why.

Someone I suspect much smarter than you, Kavin, said, "see, people
still make on-topic & i-don't-need-help posts here."

Good on you, however, for pointing the OP to pertinent info. ;o)

Thanks for admitting you don't know shit about healing a piercing.


Kavin

Knowing alot about piercings, the best thing is to let it close.
Putting it back in while its irritated will cause an infection. Have
it repierced in about 2 weeks but she can't be taking out to clean
right after it's pierced, you have to give it up to 3-4 weeks to heal
first. Thats why she couldn't put the jelwery back in. Good luck

Okay, you just proved you don't know what causes infections.

And you don't know about healing a piercing, either.

Why?


Please shut the fuck up.
Who are you anyway?

I take it the question was rhetorical unless you really didn't want
the first bit to be followed? Never mind.

Goooooooo genius!

While you do what? Pot, kettle, all that.

Regardless, you seem to overlook the few gems (cough) I've overlooked
recently.

Sounds like she had it done with a piercing gun?
http://www.compunction.org/guns.txt

Let it heal for a few weeks, then get it redone by a reputable piercer.

If the problems she already has from messing with it are not enough to
convince her to keep her hands off, she shouldn't have the piercing IMO.
