Bleeding ear piercing
I got my ears pierced (lobe peircings) three or four months ago, and a few minutes ago, I was taking an earring out, and the backing was being difficult, when I finally got it off, it went kinda sideways and it hurt, and the area around went beet red. I thought it hurt, but probably not a big deal. But when I was cleaning my piercing, I saw blood on the cotton pad. How do I keep it clean, let it heal, but not let the piercing close up?
Hi,
Wash and clean the piercing and put it back on after cleaning the ear. Use Neosporin or mupimet ointment on the stalk for a few days. Daily clean and rotate the stud so it heals properly.
If it continues to be red with bleeding go see a doctor
