infected gauged ears

thank you so much I know but im a risk taker ha ha now I know thanks again

I didn’t skip any sizes. I went from a 5/8 to a 3/4. And yet my ears are sore, almost purple, and very crusty. But in the past I have found that soaking your gauges in alcohol is fine. but don’t use it or peroxide on your ear. it dries it out and takes away all the bacteria needed to heal. So soak your gauges, but, use warm salt water on your ears. Any salt it fine, but I recommend non iodized sea salt, or you can use a mouth wash called H2 ocean, sold at many piercing shops. Or use the ear piercing solution from Claire’s.

yeah I don’t know what to do either I just went from a 00 to a half inch its swullen and red but nothing white or any infection color is coming out just blood

thats all its just swullen and blood is coming out

WOW! risk taker, I dont think so more like stupid…u could have messed your ears up really bad…but make sure you take your plugs out once a week and clean them with isopropyl alcohol..(its the kind most people call rubbing alcohol) by letting the plugs soak in it. Than wipe hte out /off with a sterile close.. Next take a q-tip and put some tripple anibiotic ointment on it and rup it in and around the infected area…once thats done put the now clean plugs back in your ears and within a week they should be just fine…make sure you clean your ears at least once a week like this though to keep them safe forever!

thats normal
