Overview

When you get your ears pierced — whether at a纹身parlor or a kiosk in the mall — you should receive instructions on how to prevent an感染。供应商还应向您保证，他们只使用无菌工具和卫生习惯。

But if protocol isn’t followed, or if you don’t carefully follow the post-piercing care instructions, infection can occur. You can usually treat a minor piercing infection of the earlobe fairly easily and without complications.

纹身或刺穿»

一种piercing基本上是一个开放性伤口。耳垂刺穿通常需要六到八周才能愈合。Cartilage piercings, which take place on the harder part of your ear, generally take longer to heal and can be more prone to infection. There are several ways your ear piercing can get infected.

留给溃烂的任何细菌都可以迅速变为感染。如果您用脏手或仪器触摸刺穿，您可以引入感染。如果耳环太紧，不允许伤口呼吸和愈合的空间，感染可以发育。如果刺穿的刺穿或耳环的柱子粗糙，刺穿也可以感染受到感染。

一种n infection can also occur if unsterile instruments were used, if the person piercing your ears didn’t use gloves, or if the posts themselves weren’t sterile.

识别受感染的耳朵穿孔是相当容易的。症状可能包括：

  • 黄色，脓液放电
  • 肿胀
  • redness
  • ongoing pain or tenderness
  • 瘙痒和燃烧

只要你的感染是未成年人，你就可以在家照顾它。如果你有软骨刺穿并且似乎感染，请寻求医疗。这些类型的感染难以治疗，可能需要口服抗生素。软骨的显着感染可能需要住院治疗。

Follow these steps to take care of a minor piercing infection:

  1. Wash your hands before touching or cleaning your piercing.
  2. Clean around the piercing with a saltwater rinse three times a day. Use sterile saline (you can find someonline) or combine 1/4 tsp. of salt with 8 oz. of distilled water.
  3. Don’t use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or antibiotic ointments. These can further irritate the skin and slow the healing process.
  4. Don’t remove the piercing. This can cause the hole to close up and trap the infection.
  5. Clean the piercing on both sides of your earlobe. Pat the area dry with paper towels. (Other materials may leave behind fibers.)

一种fter the infection appears to have cleared, continue this cleaning regimen twice a day until the piercing is totally healed. Remember, an earlobe piercing can take six to eight weeks to heal. Routine care is important during that time.

Usually, a minor infection of an ear piercing can be treated successfully at home. But if any of the following symptoms occur, seek medical attention:

  • 耳环不会移动。
  • 耳环扣嵌入皮肤中。
  • 在两天内，感染不会随着家庭治疗而改善。
  • 你发烧了。
  • 感染或发红和炎症，蔓延到刺穿部位。

为了避免感染，让你的耳朵被专业刺穿。不要在家里做。一定要询问他们的感染预防议定书。还要问他们的工具是否是无菌的。确认他们使用的耳环出现在新的无菌包装中。

刺穿后，每天用漂洗或无菌盐水清洁两次耳朵。不要转动你的珠宝，因为这会给皮肤产生创伤并引起感染。您可以在不拆除耳环的情况下围绕穿孔清洁。

虽然它很诱人，但避免过度处理或使用珠宝。这是一种常见的方式感染开始。

让你的耳朵刺穿应该涉及几个痛苦的时刻，以换取机会打扮你的泡泡并有一些乐趣。当感染袭击时，迅速治疗它，并在更少的并发症中确保更快的愈合。
