Ear Stretching - How to keep your ear lobes healthy and happy!

 

Earlobes are a delicate part of the body, so it's important to take care of them properly. Here are some tips for ear lobe care:

  • Clean your ears regularly. You can use a mild soap and water solution or a saline solution. Avoid using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as these can dry out your ears.
  • Wear earrings that are made of high-quality materials. Avoid wearing earrings that are made of cheap metals or acrylic, as these can irritate your ears.
  • Don't wear earrings that are too tight. Tight earrings can put pressure on your earlobes and cause pain or swelling.
  • Remove your earrings before going to bed. This will help to prevent them from getting caught on your hair or clothing.
  • Avoid swimming with earrings in. Chlorine and other chemicals in pool water can irritate your ears.
  • If you have an ear piercing that is infected, see a doctor. Symptoms of an infected ear piercing include redness, swelling, pain, and discharge.

 

Here are some additional tips for ear lobe care after getting pierced:

  • Leave the earrings in for at least six weeks, even at night. This will help to keep the piercing open and prevent it from closing up.
  • Clean your piercings twice a day with a mild soap and water solution.
  • Avoid touching your piercings or picking at them.
  • If you experience any pain, swelling, or redness, contact your piercer or doctor.
