Ear treatment after. Proper care for pierced ears

Table of contents [Show]

Your little princess wished to wear earrings - and you fulfilled the wish. To flatten discomfort at a minimum, you consulted a pediatrician and a dermatologist, found a salon with a good reputation, discussed the details with the master. The girl steadfastly (or not so) endured the procedure for piercing her ears - and they flaunt stud earrings, chosen by the young beauty. What to do next?

Pierced earlobes must be properly cared for so that they heal quickly and painlessly.

Ear piercing - surgical intervention which does not go unnoticed. The wound heals for at least two weeks, on average - a month and a half. How much time is required in each case depends on the characteristics of the child's body (state of immunity, metabolism, the presence of infections, chronic diseases). Regular mechanical action interferes with the process of skin regeneration. Make sure that the baby does not touch, does not pull her ear, put her hair up or pull it off at the back of her head, do not wear clothes with a narrow neck or high collar, hats clinging to her ears.

After piercing the ears with a gun, special stud earrings are inserted. They are made of titanium or Teflon:

titanium is a physiologically inert metal, it does not react with body fluids, does not oxidize, so there is no allergy to it;
Teflon surpasses all synthetic materials and noble metals in chemical resistance - even nitric and hydrochloric acids do not destroy it.

In order to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions during wound healing, choose these materials. When the ear is completely healed, try changing the jewelry by treating it disinfectant.

Carefully monitor the condition of the urine - adverse reaction can also occur on the noble metal.

Rules for care after piercing

The puncture site is an open wound surface that must be properly treated for quick and painless healing. When the ears are pierced with a gun rather than a needle, the child is slightly injured and needs to be cared for. At first, due to soreness, the baby may be naughty, trying to pull out the earring. Patiently stop such attempts, diverting attention to other objects.

Depending on the characteristics of the child's body, choose a method for treating a pierced lobe:

Chlorhexidine - the gel is applied to the puncture site with a thin layer, a cotton swab or disc is moistened with a solution, the wound is wiped;
Miramistin - available in a bottle with a cap and a special nozzle, can be used as a spray - spray the wound on both sides;
alcohol with water (1:1) - wipe the earlobe with a moistened swab (does not apply to children under 5 years old).

Treatment with these agents is carried out 3-4 times a day, turning the earring to get antiseptics deep into the wound. Before going to bed, you can smear the puncture site and the rod of the jewelry with Bepanten or Levomekol.

BF-6 glue will help protect the puncture site from contamination and infection. If baby more than a year, apply it in a thin layer on the wound, grabbing a little skin around, wait for it to dry and form a film (from 2 to 5 minutes). The film lasts 2-3 days, then disappears.

If the ears heal without complications, gradually reduce the number of daily treatments. If you experience unpleasant pain, itching, burning, pus and swelling, you should consult a doctor.

Slight swelling, redness and discomfort on the first day after the procedure is not a cause for concern. If the ears do not heal for a long time, the lobe swells, hurts and fester - inflammation caused by infection has begun. Consult your doctor. Most likely, the child will be prescribed a bactericidal tatracycline or synthomycin ointment, Levomekol. Do not stop daily procedures, before applying the drug, the wound must be treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide to clean it.

If a purulent discharge no, swelling and redness can be a reaction to jewelry - the material from which the earrings are made, or to the very presence of a foreign object. Perhaps you overdo it with the treatments, or the child constantly injures the healing wound by scratching or rubbing the ear. Watch the baby, reduce the intensity of care. If there is no improvement, see a doctor.

Sometimes swelling after ear piercing does not go away due to the material of the earring itself, and you just need to change the jewelry

Like any skin injury, an ear piercing heals best when there is air access to the wound, good hygiene, and no contact with pathogens. following simple rules will help speed up the healing of the puncture:

before going to the salon, wash the child, wash your hair - for 5 days after the procedure, a bath, pool, open pond are contraindicated;
if possible, exclude or limit communication with other children, beware of infections;
when walking, make sure that the girl does not touch her ears with dirty hands, carry antibacterial wet wipes or special disinfectant gels with you;
do not allow strangers to touch the ears and earrings - let them admire your beauty from a distance.

Treat your child's ear piercing responsibly. Stock up on care products in advance and be patient. And then your girl will be beautiful and healthy.

If the decision is made in the family that the child needs to have his ears pierced, then the question will definitely arise, in what way is it best to do this. One of the most painless and fastest is the piercing of the ears with a “gun”. About what the procedure is, what to expect for parents and a child who decide to resort to it, we will tell in this material.

Training

After making a decision, you should visit a pediatrician with your child. The doctor will be able to tell if the girl has any contraindications for ear piercing, is she healthy this moment. After that, you should choose an office or clinic that deals with piercing, get acquainted not only with the prices for services, but also with patient reviews about the work of specialists.

Ear piercing is a mini-operation, and therefore the office must have a license to provide such services to the public.

On the day of the puncture, it is worth washing the child’s head so that the hair is clean, and collecting it in a ponytail or bun so that it does not interfere with the master. You can use the call of a piercing specialist to your home, now such a service is also available. But at home, no specialist will undertake to guarantee the sterility of the procedure.

Description of the procedure

Used for ear piercing special device, which looks really like a gun. The gun itself is reusable, but the “stud” earrings loaded into it are sterile.

To begin with, parents have to choose the carnations themselves. They are made of medical steel, which is widely used in surgery and due to the composition of the alloy does not cause an allergic reaction and prevents inflammation.

The choice of "carnations" for the pistol method of piercing the ears, unfortunately, is small. It is much richer when using another method - the innovative System 75. For the “gun”, the selected earrings are, in fact, a bullet, which, under mechanical influence, will act as a needle. In this case, the earring will automatically fasten behind the earlobe.

The procedure takes only a few minutes:

First, the master treats the lobes with an antiseptic, then, using a marker, marks the points where jewelry will show off very soon.
If the location of the punctures suits the girl and her parents, the “gun” is loaded with the previously selected earrings, brought to the intended point and fired.
Similar actions are carried out with the other lobe. At this point, the puncture is considered complete, the master gives recommendations on caring for the ears at first and lets the child go home.

Pros and cons of the method

It should be noted that professional craftsmen piercings are not too fond of this method of piercing, since processing the ears after it presents certain difficulties, because it is quite difficult to turn the “carnation” in a fresh wound. According to experts, wounds heal faster, into which gold earrings with temples are inserted, which are convenient to turn during processing. However, inserting such earrings is possible only in one case - after piercing the ears with a traditional manually using a piercing needle and a catheter.

However, the advantage of the “gun”, for which it is so often chosen for piercing the ears of children, is that everything goes quickly, almost bloodlessly, and the child does not have time to get scared and throw a loud tantrum. You can not call the pistol method silent. When piercing the skin and tissues, there will be a sound, and it sometimes frightens the child. The mood with which the child comes to the beauty parlor is important here.

If the parents mentally prepared him for the procedure, the accompanying sound will not create problems.

With all its merits, it is impossible to call the “gun” puncture method completely safe:

Firstly, the device itself is still reusable, and with a careless attitude of the master to disinfection, the child may be infected.
Secondly, as a result of manipulation, nerve nodes and important active points that affect the functioning of the organs of vision, hearing, and the functions of some internal organs can be damaged.

Like any automatic system, the "gun" can fail, and the earring is in right moment it just won't fly out, such cases also happen. Despite all this, this method of ear piercing is popular and common among both adults and children.

After a second procedure, a fairly long and systematic care for pierced ears will follow:

Is it possible to swim? Bathing a child, washing his head, taking him to a bath is prohibited for the first 5 days after a puncture. When washing your face, it is important to ensure that water does not get on fresh wounds.
How to comb a child? It is very important that the medical "carnations" inserted into the ears do not cling to the hair, and therefore it is better to do high hairstyles in which the hair will not come into contact with the auricles. When combing, it is important not to touch the earrings with a comb.
Is it possible to swim and use the pool? Swimming in the pool is prohibited for 2-3 weeks. Open water bodies - seas, rivers, lakes - should be avoided for at least a month after piercing.

Do not pull the "cloves" in the direction back and forth. When purulent discharge appears, at the end of the treatment it is worth using an antibiotic ointment, for example, Levomekol.

If there are problems with the removal of the "carnation", you can contact the specialist who made the puncture. Usually this service for the first replacement of jewelry is completely free.

You can make ear piercing safer, and wound healing faster, if you take into account several important nuances:

Child's age. There are no clear recommendations about the age at which ears can be pierced, however, most doctors tend to call the optimal age of 3 years. An earlier puncture is fraught with complications, inflammation, since local immunity in babies is not sufficiently developed. In addition, the baby, not understanding the seriousness of what happened, can touch her ears, pull the “carnations”, if the jewelry falls out, the child can swallow it or inhale it. After 12 years, a girl may face another problem - too slow healing wounds, because in the process of puberty against the background of changes hormonal background blood clotting and regenerative abilities of the body change.

It is better to temporarily abandon the piercing of the earlobes, postponing it for later, if:

the child has recently had a viral or infectious disease and his immunity is still weakened - in about a month it will be possible to realize what was planned;
the child has had ear pain or inflammatory eye diseases over the past few months - after the resolution of the ENT, the ears can be pierced;
the child had a traumatic brain injury (it is better to wait at least six months after recovery).

Ear piercing is contraindicated in children with:

diabetes mellitus;
congenital tendency to form keloid scars;
a severe allergic reaction to medications and certain foods;
congenital heart defects;
mental disorders;
epilepsy;
blood diseases associated with reduced content platelets;

How to pierce children's ears, see the following video:

In the first days after the procedure, you should adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Earrings that were used during the piercing should not be removed for at least two weeks. If their design suits you, then it is quite possible to leave them for a longer period.

3. How to treat the ears after a piercing with a gun? Every morning it is necessary to wipe the puncture site with a cotton swab dipped in an antiseptic. For these purposes, chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide is excellent. But it is better to refuse the use of alcohol-containing products, as they can provoke a burn.

4. If you notice that the wound has begun to turn red, wash it with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. This procedure should be repeated until complete healing.

5. If you get your ears pierced in the winter, be careful about the cleanliness of the headgear you wear. A dirty cap or hat can lead to infection of the wound.

6. Try to collect hair in a bun. Loose hair can contribute to infection in the wound.

These simple measures will help speedy healing of punctures.

After a month after the piercing, the earrings can be removed for a while. So you can carefully treat the wound. If you notice a little pus, don't be alarmed, this is a completely natural process.

Earrings can be replaced after two months. Give preference to products made of precious metals. Make sure there is no allergic reaction. At the first sign of it, replace the earrings immediately.

Before inserting an earring into your ear, carefully treat not only the earlobe, but also the jewelry itself with an antiseptic. Do not press the earring too close to the lobe. This can lead to ear injury and, as a result, the appearance of suppuration.

Ear piercing with a gun, the video of which is presented below, is a safe modern way. Proper ear care after the procedure will avoid dangerous consequences.

An earlobe piercing is a simple piercing option that usually heals without too much trouble. But, of course, it would be wrong to simply pierce the ear, insert the earring and assume that the hole will heal on its own. How to treat ears after a puncture - the website Koshechka.ru will tell.

The gun is still a very common tool for piercing ears: they are offered to punch holes in the earlobes anywhere from cosmetic clinics to ordinary hairdressers. However, professional piercers claim that this is not a tool intended for piercing at all, even if we are talking about such a simple puncture.

The fact is that the gun makes a hole in the flesh due to the strength and speed of the “shot”. Its tip simply breaks the skin and the "meat" of the earlobe - and although this gap is minimal in diameter, it is more difficult for it to heal than a needle puncture. After all, the needle in the hands of a skilled piercer does not tear, but sort of pushes the tissues apart - therefore, healing goes better.

The funny thing is that initially the gun was not invented for people - they beat the ears of livestock, for attaching tags! Therefore, think carefully about when you want to wear earrings yourself or have your children wear them - choose a “simple” piercing with a gun or visit a piercing parlor where they will do it with a needle. By the way, if we are talking about a child who is afraid of pain - piercing an ear with a needle is usually less painful, and it does not take longer at all - an experienced master does it in one quick movement.

The material that will be in contact with the unhealed wound directly affects how healing will occur.

The best option that all qualified piercers recommend is titanium. Titanium earrings do not come into contact with blood, ichor and skin - all surgical implants are made of titanium: for example, pins in teeth, implants for bone replacement, etc. And in a freshly pierced earlobe, titanium earrings or other piercing jewelry will allow you to form a neat channel.

The second option is the so-called medical or surgical steel. However, it sometimes gives irritation during healing, and is not suitable for everyone. The fact is that it was called “medical” because it is used to make surgical instruments (and not implants!), And in terms of its qualities, it is not designed for prolonged contact with an open wound.

It is not recommended to insert gold and silver into a fresh hole at all (not to mention simple jewelry metal, stainless steel).

The first earring is a "stud". It is put on so that the “hat” and the clip do not squeeze the earlobe too much. During the first week, you should get used to sleeping in such a way that the earring does not press on your ear and the behind-the-ear area, so that you do not inadvertently pull it or tear it off - for this you will have to sleep on your back. It is also advisable not to twirl the earrings, not to pull them, and generally touch them less - therefore, it is worth advising at first not to wear hairstyles with loose hair, high lace or knitted collars - in general, remove all the details that the earring can catch on.

You can remove and change earrings six weeks after the piercing, and try to wear other metals, except for titanium, after 3-6 months, depending on the course of healing.

Immediately after the puncture, the master must disinfect the wound with alcohol, and if it bleeds significantly, with hydrogen peroxide. However, in the lobes there is no large vessels, and usually the bleeding there quickly stops on its own, which avoids the use of peroxide - since this liquid "corrodes" the edges of the wound.

Cheap and easy to use drug for daily care behind the broken lobe - this is Chlorhexidine. How to handle the ears after a piercing with a pistol for a child or an adult: lightly moisten a cotton pad with Chlorhexidine and easily wipe the puncture site from behind and in front without removing the earrings. This should be done 3-4 times a day during the first week, and 2 times a day, morning and evening - another two months after that.

Another option for treating the ear after a puncture is Miramistin. Miramistin is more expensive, but has a better wound healing effect.

In no case should you do disinfectant treatment with iodine or brilliant green, do not lubricate the lobes with peroxide or alcohol throughout the entire healing period - as they dry the skin very much, without speeding up healing.

With a normal puncture, proper selection of earrings and regular competent care, healing should occur as follows:

During the first two or three days, the discharge of blood from the open wound should stop, and during the same period the soreness of the puncture should disappear.
During the first two or three weeks, small discharges from the earlobe are possible - a transparent ichor or whitish "dirt" in a small amount sticking to the "carnation" pin.
Pus should not appear at all - neither white, nor green, nor black!
After two or three weeks, the ear should look the same as if the puncture had been made a long time ago. However, de facto, the channel has not yet fully formed, so the earring cannot be removed.

What can go wrong? For example, you notice pus, or the lobe is swollen and sore, or something like a seal has appeared in it, or blood or ichor has appeared when, in theory, they should not be there. What to do, what to process? First, contact the piercer who was pierced, or any experienced piercer who you have reason to trust - let him take a look and advise on how to lubricate further, remove or not remove the earring. In severe cases ( severe inflammation, obvious infection) consult a surgeon. If you just notice that healing is slower than in most of the cases described, perhaps this is your individual feature, and the child or adult needs to process the ear after piercing longer than recommended in general.

Previously, very often mothers tried to pierce their daughters' ears early - at an unconscious age: they say that the girl would not remember the painful moment of the puncture and healing. And even now this approach is not uncommon.

However, more and more piercing professionals refuse to pierce the ears of young children. The first reason is ethical: it is not known whether a child will want to wear earrings and walk with pierced ears when he grows up. In the meantime, the girl is small, no adults, even her own parents, should make this decision for her. The second reason is purely medical - young children tolerate infections and inflammations worse, that is, they are at greater risk. So the site ko6e4ka.ru also advises not to pierce the ears of a child, at least until they reach the age of three.

How to treat the ears after a puncture to a child? Actually, piercers recommend all the same Chlorhexidine and Miramistin, but you can additionally consult a pediatrician about these drugs if there is any doubt about their tolerance to your child.

And, again, be sure to contact medical care if it seems to you that something went wrong in the healing process!

Having decided on a piercing, you need to be aware that the procedure is not as harmless as it seems at first glance.

how to treat pierced ears

Otitis externa, or "swimmer's ear" is one of the most common diseases that occurs in professional swimmers. Its symptoms are quite unpleasant, but the treatment is simple. The main thing is not to start the disease.

Symptoms of otitis externa

The swimmer runs the risk of earning otitis media at two

conditions

: if he does not shake out the water from his ears and dry them after bathing, which provides a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria. Secondly, if, as a result of hypothermia, a bacterial infection enters the weakened ear.

The disease begins with a slight itching in the auricle. If treatment is not started at this stage, the infection can grow and the pain in the ear will become excruciating and shooting. It is quite easy to determine the occurrence of the disease, you just need to pull your earlobe. If there is sharp pain, this will be the "swimmer's ear".

When wearing a hearing aid, you can easily earn otitis externa without even going near the water. Hearing aid clogs the ear and moisture appears there - a beneficial environment for the development of the disease.

In case of exacerbation of pain, it is imperative to visit an otolaryngologist to get advice and a prescription for a suitable antibiotic. You will also have to purchase ear drops containing cortisone. And if there is no pain, but itching is just starting, you can try shaking your head to remove water from the middle ear, and also dry it with a hairdryer, stopping bathing in ponds for a while.

Can be applied to the ear in case of otitis warm compress. In any case and at any stage, it is necessary to treat the disease, because in its running form possible swelling of the ear or cervical lymph nodes, leakage of pus from the ear, as well as muffling, and especially advanced cases partial hearing loss.

It would be nice to use appropriate accessories for swimming, like a rubber bathing cap. Also, most pharmacies sell paraffin and silicone earplugs, which helps people prone to otitis media.

Even during the bathing season, oddly enough, it is not recommended to clean earwax that feeds beneficial bacteria and protects the ear from moisture.

After bathing, it is necessary to shake out all the liquid from the ears and dry them.

Using these simple rules precautions, a swimmer or bather can protect himself from the unpleasant symptoms of external otitis later.

Ear pain, as a rule, becomes the result of inflammation of the tissues, for example, as a result of infection. Pain may be accompanied by redness, swelling and high temperature body. There are several treatments for such pain.

You will need

- garlic;
- onion;
- olive oil;
- painkillers;
- antibacterial drugs.

Instruction

One of the most effective means to relieve ear pain is garlic. Make a tincture of garlic in olive oil and use it as a ear drops. To increase the effectiveness of this remedy, you can add St. John's wort flowers or mullein to it. Garlic tincture can be rubbed on the skin around the ear. The effectiveness of garlic is due to the presence of anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that help fight infection and reduce inflammation. In some cases, it works much more effectively than many medications. Another effective method the use of garlic is to put a small clove of it directly in the ear, after moistening olive oil. Just make sure that the lobule is not too small and does not fall into the ear canal.

Onions have similar properties. You can also make ear drops from it. Prepare roasted onions without peeling them. Then squeeze the juice out of it into a bowl, after wetting it in water. Drops from this juice relieve pain in minutes. Instead of squeezing the juice from the baked onion, you can cut it in half and apply it to your ear for 20 minutes. This way of using it is also quite effective. Raw onion juice can burn your ear. If you still want to use it, dilute it with a little water first.

In order for the drops used to work as soon as possible, massage at the same time as they are applied. Lie on your side, drip healing solution(from onion or garlic) and massage the ear by pulling it by the earlobe several times. This will allow the solution to reach the inflamed areas faster. You also need to massage The lymph nodes located in the neck area. This massage helps to get rid of fluids that accumulate in the inner ear and eustachian tube, they often cause ear pain. The results of the massage may not be immediately visible, it may take from several minutes to several hours.

After conducting the necessary examinations, they can prescribe you pain medications (Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, Aspirin, etc.). Do not use aspirin if you are treating a child's ear, it may cause severe consequences for his body. In some cases, doctors may also prescribe antibacterial drugs, for example, Amoxicillin, Azithromycin, etc. If treatment medicines does not give results, you may be prescribed a pressure equalization procedure. If that doesn't work, then surgery will be required.

If ARVI drags on, then most likely it comes to bacterial infection- rhinitis, otitis and so on. In this case, antibiotics are already prescribed. And then you need to see a doctor without fail. Antibacterial drugs are a very dangerous thing if taken without a doctor's prescription.

chondrosis how to treat at home

The medical term "pulmonology" comes from the Latin word "pulmo" - lungs. Pulmonologists treat diseases not only of the lungs, but also of all respiratory organs: trachea, bronchi, pleura.

Not every respiratory disease requires an appointment with a pulmonologist. Diseases of the upper respiratory tract are in the competence of another doctor - an otolaryngologist, colloquially referred to as "ear-throat". Acute respiratory infections, tracheitis, and mild bronchitis are relatively easy to deal with by therapists.

But it happens that the disease is not treatable or gives serious complications. In this case, there is a need for the services of a pulmonologist.

One of the diseases that pulmonologists deal with is bronchial asthma. With this disease, from time to time there is a narrowing of the lumen of the bronchi (usually as a result of an allergic reaction), which prevents breathing. It is impossible to cure such a disease completely, but the patient can take medication regularly and live for months and even years without attacks.

A very common infectious lung disease is pneumonia (pneumonia). It is usually associated with hypothermia, but it is not always the cause. Favorable conditions for the development of pathogens in the lungs may arise due to congestion. This happens when a person lies in bed for a long time, for example, after a major operation. Pneumonia affects newborns if polyhydramnios occurred during pregnancy. Depending on the pathogen, bacterial, viral, viral-bacterial and fungal pneumonia are distinguished.

Another infection- tuberculosis. Here pulmonology comes into contact with another branch of medicine - phthisiology. The difference is that a phthisiatrician deals with the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in general, and a pulmonologist deals only with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Is in the competence of pulmonologists and occupational diseases, for example, pneumoconiosis is a disease caused by the inhalation of industrial dust. Miners, gas cutters, electric welders and other workers face such a disease, especially when sanitary standards are violated at work.

These are just some examples of diseases treated by pulmonologists.

Along with laboratory tests and conversations with the patient, which all doctors resort to, pulmonologists have their own specific diagnostic methods.

One of the most important methods– function external respiration(spirometry). For this diagnostic procedure, a special device is used - a spirometer. The volume of air exhaled by the patient allows you to evaluate the volume of the lungs, airway patency and other indicators.

Another pulmonological device is a pulse oximeter. A sensor connected to a computer is attached to the patient's earlobe or finger, which shows the level of oxygen in the blood.

A chest X-ray can tell a pulmonologist a lot. This method is used, for example, when there is doubt whether the matter was limited to bronchitis or reached pneumonia. With the help of an x-ray, pleurisy, emphysema, swelling or collapse of the lungs and other lung diseases are diagnosed.

Gold earrings are especially popular. The higher the sample in them, the less impurities of different metals, the safer it is to wear them at first. If gold has a low standard, then it is more durable, but it is better to wear such earrings after the wounds have healed.

Earrings made of medical steel are best suited, since this metal is the safest, therefore it does not cause inflammation and irritation. Titanium earrings are also suitable.

With regard to jewelry, there is now no separation between a man and a woman, not only earrings, but also chains, bracelets and rings are produced for both women and men practically in equal volumes. By the number of punctures, you can tell a lot about a person. Piercing in men and the location of holes in the ear have a different meaning than the designations adopted to describe the character of women.

If recently preference was given to classic piercings (that is, one hole in one ear, or a piercing in only one ear), now young people make several holes in one ear, moreover, not only in the lobes, but also in the cartilage of the outer rim of the ears.

Once upon a time, there were even opinions that wearing an earring in men is nothing more than a sign of homosexuality. However, men's jewelry, earrings are a normal phenomenon, but not everyone, of course, shares this point of view. Men also like to decorate themselves, which is still unusual. Do not immediately draw the wrong conclusion and hang a label on a man. Many people pierce their ears for the sake of fashion and do not put any other meaning into it. The presence of an earring does not deprive a man of masculinity.

Ear piercings and character

It is said that men who have earrings in their ears have such character traits as:
- romance;
- impressionability;
- intelligence;
- daydreaming.

It is also believed that such men have a mass interesting hobbies and possibly spoiled and narcissistic. Psychologists believe that the place of wearing an earring can accurately tell about the character and inclinations of young men, young people and men. So, for example, if pierced left ear, there are abilities in creativity. And when a young man wants to have exactly in the center of the lobe, this means that he is kind and sociable. A man with several holes in his ear is quite determined and freedom-loving, loves to argue and is not used to reckoning with other people's opinions.

Sometimes men pierce their own ears, which speaks of a strong character and the ability to concentrate in order to achieve their goals.

No matter how many piercings are in the ears, and no matter how many are planned, it is still not worth doing them yourself. It is better to consult a specialist, since in this type of piercing health and safety remain the main ones.

Earrings are an indispensable attribute of femininity, which is worn by the vast majority of the fair sex, from the most tender age to old age.

Often, mothers of little girls tend to pierce their child's ears as early as possible, motivating their actions by the fact that it will be possible to distinguish a girl from earrings by earrings. Already six-month-old babies have become frequent visitors to beauty salons.

At what age is it best to pierce a child's ears?

From point of view official medicine Do not get your ears pierced until your child is 3 years old. First, up to three years go by the formation of the earlobe, and do not touch the nerve endings in this area. Secondly, with the growth auricles the puncture site may move and look ugly, then a new puncture will have to be made, while a small scar from the first puncture will also remain. Thirdly, a child during outdoor games can catch on an earring and injure the earlobe. And finally, your daughter may simply not want to wear earrings as an adult. It is best to wait until the girl grows up and decides on her own whether she wants to pierce her ears.

On the other hand, child psychologists say that children who have had their ears pierced before the age of one and a half pay less attention to the piercing, do not tease, and almost immediately forget about the pain during the procedure. This is perhaps the only plus of ear piercing at an early age.

If you decide to take your time and wait for the conscious desire of the child himself, it is worth resolving this issue before the age of 11, since after reaching this age the likelihood of keloid scars at the puncture site increases.

Which season to choose

Do not pierce your ears in the summer. Heat, dust, swimming in water can lead to inflammation of the punctures and increase the healing time. It is also worth carrying out the procedure before the child begins to wear a hat, so as not to cling to earrings with a headdress. perfect time the end of August or the beginning of September is considered, just before the onset of cold weather, the punctures will have time to heal.

What other factors should be considered when planning to pierce a child's ears?

In no case should the procedure be carried out during the illness of the child or immediately after its cure. Wait at least a couple of weeks for the child's body to recover. If your child is often sick, perhaps his immune system is weakened, it is better to postpone ear piercing for six months or a year.

And, finally, even if you have received the child’s informed consent for the procedure, have chosen a beauty salon, paid for the procedure and put the girl in a chair, and suddenly the child is frightened and categorically refuses to pierce his ears - do not insist and do not try to persuade the child to agree by manipulation, try to come later to avoid psychological trauma.
