Great video. I couldn't use a travel pillow. I found it too uncomfortable. I used a piercing pillow that has an indent in the pillow where your ear goes. It was a miracle worker for my helix and now my rook. My whole family uses them now when they get piercings.

@lizrochester80 9 месяцев назад

This is super helpful! I got a second lobe piercing back in April which was slow to heal due to being pierced with a gun and gold butterfly backs. Once I switched over to titanium flat back labrets (like what you have in the pictures), it’s helped with the healing issues. LITHA, sterile saline twice daily - it’s getting there! Slowly because I’m a side sleeper but eventually it’ll get there. Thanks for the video!! Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough for the cartilage piercing.

@DrEzgiOzcan 9 месяцев назад

So glad you found it useful :) Really happy to hear its getting better! my mid helix which isn't going through the cartilage is taking longer to heal compared to my cartilage piercing - everyone is different 🤷🏻‍♀️ You should definitely try the travel pillow hack. It was definitely a game changer for me

I got my helix pierced. The day i got it pierced it was all fine and that day itself my hair got stuck in it and I somehow got it out. But the next day my ear started getting inflammation. I thought of not removing the earring in order to give it space for blood to flow and it ended up getting bigger in size the next day. By 4th day when I woke up in the morning, I half of my earring was stuck from front side. Within few hrs the whole earring got trapped inside. I went to hospital and the nurse told that only surgeon can remove it. So here I am writing this comment with an earring stuck onto my ear.

Gosh, my ears don’t like piercings at all! I’ve had sooo many over the years, most I’ve taken out because they seemed like they would never heal after many months! Only recently I’ve discovered through a lot of trial and error…that my ears respond well with 10ct gold (9ct didn’t help)! I saved one piercing I was ready to give up on by changing to 10ct gold and now it’s fully healed. So I’d recommend trying 10ct gold or above to people who can’t get their piercings to heal. Unfortunately no piercers near me have solid gold for piercing jewellery… my last piercing I got done is with 24kt PVD gold sleepers/hoops. They didn’t have studs that were fully PVD so this was the only option. One of my ears is currently very swollen (only a week or so since piercing) with a piercing bump. But that ear also has a lot of scar tissue from previous piercings. I’m just doing hot saltwater soaks/compresses (sometimes with chamomile), hopefully it goes down soon. And I will change to 10ct gold when I the piercing is established enough. It sucks that I’m so drawn to multiple ear piercings when my ears hate it! I’m 41 now and so glad piercings are seen as acceptable and mainstream these days. I took my piercings out many years ago when I was studying teaching because they were not seen as professional. If only I’d kept those in though as my ears healed better in my teenage years, apart from that one helix one, that I had done on school camp and got stuck in my ear because of swelling 😅

This video was so helpful, thank you! Best one I’ve seen when trying to figure out my solution. I have a double helix piercing with hoops - same hoops since the piercing and have never taken them out. It’s been 5 years, and I just don’t think I did the best job with the aftercare. Now, all this time later thanks to your video I know it’s a Granuloma bump. I just went to a doctor today who prescribed antibiotics, but now I may wait to treat it according to your steps. My question would be should I leave the jewelry in? My goal is to heal the bumps and take out the jewelry for good, I don’t want them anymore unfortunately lol. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! 😊 🙏🏼

@DrEzgiOzcan 2 месяца назад

So glad you’re found the video helpful ☺️ I had a no healing helix that never got better and I took it out eventually. It did close over and the bump disappeared. You can either try changing to a flat back warring or taking it out all together. Good luck with whatever you decide ☺️

@donnacarey4898 4 месяца назад

Hello, Thanks for the great video! I had my helix repierced 3 weeks ago and I am using a 0.9% saline spray twice daily with sterile gauze to clean my piercing. It is doing very well, however, today I noticed I have a lot of peeling around the piercing and some on the front of my ear as well. I have not been rinsing the saline spray off because everything I read said you didn't need to. Do you think the saline spray is causing the peeling? I actually started using distilled water ONLY to clean it about 4 days ago because I had noticed the peeling. If it is the saline spray, can I continue to clean the piercing with distilled water alone? Thanks for your video, it was really helpful!!

I would love my nose done but despite self giving myself injections several times a month, frequent hospital admission needing lumber puncture and blood gases then add in will jump at a tattoo the thought of nose piercing has me clammy, heart racing nauseous all not great with Adrenal Insufficiency... I for once agree with my daughter I am a woose 🤦‍♀️... Are nose piercing awful to get?

I would say the most painful is the industrial piercing which I did when I was 19 and it’s a 14g it’s the only 14g piercing I have. Everything else is a 16g. Just pierce your nose when your ready. 😊

I had a conch and a flat done at the same time. I went in to have the post downsized about 5 weeks later for my flat. Unfortunately less than 24 hours later I was in the emergency room because my flat was so badly swollen. The emergency room doctor suggested I take them both out and though i had a slight infection in my conch. She did remove them both clean them and prescribed me an aggressive round of antibiotics. I was just curious how long it will be until my ear feels normal. Within 2 hours of the removal the pressure was gone. I dont think i had an infection i think it was just crust but i took the pills anyways. A week later my ear feels much better but still a bit tender. Any advice as to how long i have to clean it for, how long until the hole heals fully. Anything helps 😊

@DrEzgiOzcan 7 месяцев назад

Hi :) Sorry to hear about your experience, sounds really painful. It's likely you changed the piercing too soon (I was advised to leave it for 3 months) It's hard to say when the ear will be back to how it was - everyones body responds differently to inflammation/infection. It's always best to get it checked out in person if you're worried about an ongoing infection. If the infection has cleared and the hole has closed over you should be okay to stop cleaning daily but if in doubt book to see your GP :)

Honestly I would give it a year in a half to make sure it’s fully healed. And you’ll need to keep it clean at all times religiously like it’s still a piercing, because piercings heal from the inside out. Even if it stops being tender continue to clean it. Antibacterial soap and dap it dry with paper towel or face towel

Since the jewelry used during piercing was artificial and it’s being two days I got nose piercing can I replace it with a silver pin ?

@DrEzgiOzcan 4 месяца назад

The jewellery used during piercing is usually surgical steel. What do you mean by artificial?

Damn I been putting on rubbing alcohol, Teatree oil and peroxide to try and get the infection down

@Gladiator_in_a_Suit 3 месяца назад

Don’t use alcohol nor peroxide on the piercing it’s too harsh and dries out the surface of the piercing, sea salt soaks for deep cleaning, tea tree oil as a moisturizer, and anti bacterial soap as a daily cleanser. You can also throw in a Tylenol pill into a cup of warm distilled water to soak your ear, just tilt your head and put the cup up to your ear for 10 min it helps reduced stubborn inflammation. I have 22 piercings and I have stretched earlobes, I’ve done all my piercings myself 😊

@@Gladiator_in_a_Suit thank you for the reply and the video was very informative It’s a helix piercing. It’s not infected anymore but it has a keloid around the piercing at one point it looked like the piercing was inside my ear but it’s gotten a lot better I just can’t get the keloid or if it’s scarring to go down puffiness all around the piercing

I got my helix pierced two weeks ago. For a couple of days, it was fine, but then it got stuck/pulled onto my silk pillowcase many times. After about a week, it started to swell, become reddish, and painful. After another week, it improved. However, yesterday I noticed a blood clot around the front and removed it. There was pus, and blood came out, and I can't see the earrings at all. I'm so scared my earrings will be stuck. What should I do? Should I remove the blood clot and clean it, or should I just leave it alone? 🥲
