What to do if your ears and eyes bleed

Nowadays, many girls pierce their ears to wear some decorations, and many friends even pierce their ears on the ear bones. Generally speaking, there will be no problems during the ear piercing process, but some people may experience bleeding in their ears due to infection or allergies. What should we do if we encounter this situation? You can use some ointment to relieve it.

When the wound becomes inflamed, it may develop symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and persistent unpleasant discharge. Since most young people do not take these symptoms seriously, the wound becomes inflamed and swollen, and they do not seek medical attention until the entire ear needle is embedded and cannot be removed.

Ear piercing is more common and can lead to allergic problems, resulting in wounds on the skin, and even bacterial infection in severe cases. The case of the girl developing warts due to a filterable virus infection caused by ear piercing is relatively rare.

The girl began to bleed one to two weeks after having her ears pierced, and gradually a rice-sized ball of flesh grew on the ear hole in the front ear. The girl thought something was wrong, so she went to the hospital for treatment. After diagnosis, it was found that the ear hole was mainly infected by a filterable virus, which led to the growth of warts. After cryotherapy, the warts were significantly reduced, but not long after, another wart grew near the ear hole behind the girl's ear. This is a typical reaction of filterable viral infection with a very fast infectiousness and should not be ignored.

As there have been cases of people contracting syphilis and AIDS as a result of ear piercing in the past, people should make sure that the instruments are thoroughly disinfected when piercing their ears. To be on the safe side, it is best to apply anti-inflammatory ointment every day before the ear piercing wound heals to reduce the possibility of infection.

In addition, people with allergies must pay special attention when piercing their ears. In addition to the disinfection of the instruments, they should also pay special attention to the choice of earring materials. Especially for people who are allergic to metal materials, it is best to choose earrings made of platinum, because platinum is more stable and less likely to cause allergies.

Things to note before getting your ears pierced!

The location of ear piercing usually varies from person to person, mainly determined by the individual's earlobe shape, requirements, occupational characteristics and the size of the earring opening. For most people, the piercing position should be at the junction of the middle 1/3 of the vertical line between the tragus notch and the lower edge of the earlobe.

1. Before piercing, you must first consult whether the piercing equipment is disposable. Before piercing, you should routinely disinfect the areas in front of the ear, behind the ear, and the ear hole.

2. When piercing the ears, the surgical instruments must be strictly disinfected, and aseptic operation must be performed during the operation to avoid infection by bacteria and other infectious diseases.

Things to note after getting your ears pierced!

The ear piercing that has just been completed can be medically called a "penetrating injury" and requires careful care. Here are the key points you need to pay attention to:

1. After piercing your ears, keep your earlobes dry and clean for 7 to 10 days. Avoid contact with dirty water and dirt when washing your face or hair. Avoid squeezing your ears when sleeping, and keep your ear holes dry and ventilated.

2. Keep rotating the ear needles daily to avoid adhesion between the needles and the skin and promote wound healing.

3. After the operation, disinfect the wound with 75% alcohol 1-2 times a day. You can also take vitamin C orally to help wound healing.

4. Do not fasten the ear needles and needle holders too tightly, otherwise it will easily cause swelling. It is best to leave a certain gap.

5. After getting your ears pierced, don’t take your earrings off for about six weeks.

6. If there is inflammation or infection after piercing, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Ear piercing taboo!

1. Women should not pierce their ears during menstruation, because at this time all organs in the body are congested and the resistance is relatively reduced. Piercing the ears can easily lead to bleeding and infection.

2. People with acute inflammation or chronic skin diseases in their earlobes should only have their ears pierced after the inflammation is under control and the skin disease is cured.

3. For people with scar-prone constitution, ear piercing can easily cause fibrous tissue hyperplasia and form keloids, which affects the appearance.

4. People who are allergic to metal ornaments are prone to allergies. If you experience redness, swelling, itching, or yellow discharge of the surrounding skin, you should take off the earrings immediately. After healing, you can switch to earrings made of other materials.

5. Avoid using chloramphenicol ointment as its sticky nature makes it more likely to absorb dirt.
