Bleeding is due to the small vessels in the ear cartilage having been cut. Partly due to the piercer not looking at the cartilage piercing carefully enough to avoid damaging the vessels structures. Bleeding will occur with all cartilage piercings, how much depends on the location of the vessels.
Don't clear the clots away from the piercing (this is the bodies way of plugging the leak) allowing the clots to stay for 24 hours will allow the body to close the damaged vessels from the inside out. Washing the piercing under running water will rinse the clots away and not irritate the piercing thus preventing the piercing from bleeding again. The bleeding should ease within 24 ~ 48 hours.
Well what did you do to it? Look surface piercings are the hardest piercings to take care of and protect from snagging and out side irritation. There are various reasons why your piercing would bleed, it could be still healing, snagged or hooked when you were sleeping. unless you are covering it at night with a bandage the piercing will keep bleeding until it heals to a point where irritation is no longer and issue.
If the pain of sleeping on it is tolerable then it should be ok to sleep on it.
Yes
No, do not remove the jewelry at all. It can be difficult to get the jewelry back in a new piercing, plus you could cause a rip or tear in the piercing site if you try and have trouble with it.
The answers I have read have said that the problem isn't the piercing but the after care. They have said that it can take up a year or more to heal and sleeping and long hair can be a big problem. Some have suggested just to have two piercings and no bar because that was what caused all the problems.
Sleeping naked provides a number of health benefits including deeper sleep and weight loss.
Yes. Both sleeping and eating are basic human needs, and depriving yourself of either can have serious consequences, including death.
I had my belly pierced last year and it can realy hurt when you have catched it, espesualy a fresh piercing, basicly what i did was fold up some tissue paper make sure that it is big enough to cover your belly button. Then you will need a roll of plasters, you can get this from any chemist. you then stick the tissue paper over the belly piercing and stick it on with the tape. Hope this works xx
Night flow refers to the bleeding that occurs during menstruation while a person is sleeping. It is important to use appropriate period products, such as overnight pads or menstrual cups, to manage night flow and prevent any leaks while sleeping.
It might be a little sore/irritated if you hit it while sleeping or if you sleep on your stomach. Just soak it in warm water to help with any swelling/pain.
The insurance companies have certain rules and restrictions. They have the right to refuse policies and coverage to people on certain medication including sleeping pills.
Redness around the top exit point of the piercing is not uncommon, this area is more subject to irritation from sleeping, clothing and the day to day encounters surface tissue would be subjected to. Now if the tissue is swollen or distended and the redness is not localized to the close area of the piercing exit point and extends further than the piercing, chances are good you are reacting to the aftercare solution or cleaner you have been provided. It would be a good idea to go back and see your piercer and let he/she have a look at the piercing to ensure it's healing properly (there should be no charge for this service from the studio that did the piercing).
