Home care instructions:
Leave the new piercing in for at least 4 weeks before removing or changing earrings. Ideally you should leave the earrings in for 6 weeks. This allows the ear to fully heal.
To prevent infection and irritation avoid swimming and wearing clothes that can snag or pull on the earring.
Until the ear heals, always wash your hands before touching the new piercing.
Twice a day, clean the pierced area with a cotton swab and warm soapy water. Dab gently around earring.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL to clean ears as this can be drying and affect proper healing of the new piercing.
While ear is wet turn the earring in circles a few times.
If there is redness, swelling, pus, or tenderness of the ear, remove earring and return to office for an evaluation.
