No. But you should clean your jewellery on a regular basis.
You should leave an earring in until the lobe is no longer reddened or crusty/infected. You should wear an earring frequently for a while after...
The part of the ear where one wears an earring is called the earlobe or lobe. It is the soft, fleshy lower part of the ear that is commonly pierced for earrings.
An earring infection can't be fully seen, as it is often inside the ear, where the earring post goes through. However, the ear lobe often goes red, and swollen, pus and gunk keeps building up and has to be removed resulting in a lot of pain. I've had an earring infection myself and its not nice!
In my day it was minor surgery ... a few stitches. But now they have glue.
lobe earrings will work fine so will certain gauge type of earrings if theyre the right size
Dangle jewellery is usually designed wrong and the Sheppard's hooks act like razors cutting the lobe due to the weight.
It's usually 20 to 18g
Clip on earrings have a small hinged clip on the back that is pressed closed against the earlobe to secure the earring in place. The clip applies pressure to hold the earring on without requiring pierced ears. Some designs have adjustable clips for comfort.
6 weeks, then you can change it (put dont leave it out) then 4 more weeks before you can take it out and leave it out.
6 weeks for lobe. 12 weeks for cartilage. That's if done with a hollow needle. With a gun, even longer.
If your ear lobe was ripped by an earring, give it some time to heal. A week or two should work well. Make sure to clean it every night with water and nothing else. After that week or two (depending on how bad it is. if it's really bad, give it a week), consult with your doctor and let them know your situation. If you feel major pain in your ear lobe, take an advil or a Tylenol and take a nap to reduce panic and stress. Hope this helped!!
If the earring is new, or the skin just hasn't closed in around the earring hole, What ever you do, don't take the earring out, or your earring hole will close up, leaving the infection inside your skin, and become worse. If this is the case, then apply some alcohol swabs (Made for your ears!!) or a spray you can buy from the chemist. Not sure what its called, but just ask for ear disinfectant spray. ^^ If your ear is older, meaning the skin HAS closed around the earring hole, i recommend taking it out for the meantime, but putting it in every week or so...then taking it back out...you should also visit the area when you got your ears done, and asking for advice ^^
