Why is my earlobe so fat after piercing?

so i got my second hole pierced about 5 days ago. and my earlobe has been swelling and hurting. is this normal? or is it possible my ears are allergic to the earring? i have cobalt earrings and i do normally have sensitive skin to nickel belts and certain types or earrings.

Answer #1

I think it may be an allergic reaction to the material as you’ve stated!! Put some anaceptic, on it!! When getting a new piercicing always go for titanium esppecially if you know you’re sensitive, for it’s the safest and never causes infections of problems. If anaceptic nor rubbing alcohol doesn’t help, see a doctor asap!

Answer #2

most likely its an allergi reaction. have you every wore that metal in your first hole and did the same thing happen? or maybe your sleeping on it and its not healing?

Answer #3

normaly good and genuine pericing places provide the 1st ring or stud as it will be sergical stainless steal which less than 1% of the worlds population is allergic too.

if u use anyother percing before it is fully healed u can suffer blood poisoning and have to be put onto anti biotics as u poisioned ur blood i would say take ur earing out NOW let it heal and later get a surgical stainless steal ring or stud and get them frm a reputable place as some get in sericial stainless steal earrings but infact they are not.

so go to a trust worth and reputalbe place to get ur perice done and to up ur precings ^^

good luck

OH…..and i forgor to ask, it could be swelling and presure, did u get it done with a piercing gun or a needle? cuz if u go it done with a percing gun (which i usually dont recomend) is that percing gun and the type of earing used doesnt allow for swelling. i personaly recomend getting pericings done by neendle tho more expensive and use a sergical stainless steel hoop or sleeper as it more comfortable than a stud in my honest opinion this is all comming frm a girl how had 15 percing in 1 ear and has 1 8mm ear strech in the other :) and who had 5 facial percings :)

and i hope u remember do disenfect your percing EVERDAY at least 2 times per day :D

again good luck
