Pierced ears or piercings are also small wounds that can easily become infected. This can happen immediately after the “shooting or stabbing”, but also years afterwards. The first signs of inflammation may be persistent redness, burning, itching, or swelling. Then you have to act quickly so that the ear or the piercing hole does not become infected any further. Thorough cleaning has top priority, especially for severely inflamed wounds! Care should always be taken to wash your hands thoroughly beforehand. Then the ear or piercing holes must be cleaned twice a day with our nourishing ear hole hygiene gel, which can be purchased in pharmacies or well-stocked jewelry stores. The earring pins or the piercing should be dabbed with our ear hole hygiene gel before insertion. In particularly acute conditions, it is advisable not to reinsert the earrings or piercing and to maintain them several times a day with our ear hole hygiene gel. Care must also be taken to avoid cosmetic residues such as hair setting agents, hairspray or shampoo around the ears, as these can otherwise trigger additional irritation.
