To avoid scars from ear piercing?

Ear piercing, a seemingly simple act, actually contains many details that need to be paid attention to. After all, a small hole in the ear may not only bring fashion but also may leave scars that will accompany you for a lifetime. So, does ear piercing easily cause scars?

What are keloids?

Pathological scar tissue is formed by excessive growth of skin trauma or spontaneous formation. If you do not pay attention to the care after piercing your ears, it is easy to grow such flesh lumps. Therefore, we need to be more cautious about this behavior.

Why do keloids form?

The location of the ear piercing is crucial. Ear piercing on the auricular cartilage is prone to perichondritis infection, and even deformation and necrosis of the auricle. For people with scar-prone constitutions, ear piercing is undoubtedly a double whammy, and they are more likely to develop keloids. In contrast, the earlobe is safer and is the first choice for people without scar-prone constitutions.

How to take care of your ears after piercing?

After-piercing care is equally important. Choosing the right earrings is crucial, and materials that are not prone to allergies, such as pure gold, pure silver, or titanium, are preferred. At the same time, keeping the ears dry and clean is also essential. When taking a shower or washing your face, you can use Acne Plaster to stick to the ear holes, which can prevent the invasion of foreign organisms and reduce the chance of infection. At the same time, you should also avoid pulling the ears too much to avoid irritating the skin. In addition, a healthy diet can also help promote wound healing and reduce scar formation.

Notice:

Ear piercing is not something you can do casually. Because "Ear piercing" has been clearly listed as a "medical cosmetic operation", which means that it involves complex physiological processes such as tissue damage, inflammatory processes, and wound healing. Therefore, we must seek the help of professional medical personnel to ensure the safety and hygiene of the entire process. Once local redness, swelling, exudation, pain, or hardening of the tissue around the ear hole occurs, be sure to seek medical attention in time. Because these are signs of infection or scar hyperplasia, if not treated in time, it may cause more serious consequences.

Ear piercing is not an easy thing. We need to take every step seriously, from choosing the location to post-operative care. Only in this way can we ensure that our ears remain healthy and beautiful while pursuing fashion.
