My right earlobe was always thicker than the left, but ever since I got them pierced my left ear has been perfectly fine and my right ear will just not stop leaking lymph fluid. It's becoming painful and swollen, and it's just driving me nuts
exactly what’s happening to me i can’t stand it anymore my left earlobe is so much thicker and is always in pain and infected my right ear is completely fine
I have struggled so much with finding the right size and back for my helix. Finally just made a custom stud. I cut the post and Filed it the edges, then added a tiny rubber backing to cover the end of my piercing. Worked like a charm. I can sleep in peace, it doesn't snag on my curly hair and I can still sleep on my side and get little to no irritation, every night
I have four piercings on each earlobe going up the ear and I’ve had them for. I don’t know how many years four years they’re completely healed, but all of a sudden in the last couple days, my highest piercing on my ear on the right side started getting irritated. I’m not sure why, they’re all the exact same earrings 10 or 14 karat gold. Why would only one ear piercing be an issue not any of the others on either ear and right now it’s just red and sore to the touch.
hey i have a question! i pierced my ears with a sewing needle back in august of last year. i had no problems with it, i kept it in and left it alone. after about 2 months i decided to take the studs out and i noticed that my piercing on my right ear had a bump on it. it kinda freaked it me out and i just massaged the area till the bump went away and put the earring back in. every now and then i’ll take out the earring and i’ll have the same bump, but i can only feel it when i take out the earring. do you have any idea what it could be and how i can fix it?
That's called a granuloma. It's best to leave the piercing alone because your immune system is fighting the piercing as it thinks it will harm the body. Use fucicort cream , it works for me
Hi! I was wondering if you could do a video for best and worst materials to look for in tragus and rook piercing studs/hoops? All I can ever find is ones of surgical steel and I’m not sure how good or bad that is. Ps. I really appreciate your youtube channel, your videos are well informed and thanks to all your videos, my piercings have been a success with no infections 🥲
I got my cartilage pierced with a gun one month ago and I have no pain, I sleep on it, swelling went down, and I have no problems at all. I bought a new earring for when the piercing is healed. I looked at the earring I bought and it is a lot thicker then the original earring that is in my ear. What should I do for the thicker earring to fit without having to re pierce it myself?
I got my ears pierced and the day after it’s swollen alittle just where it’s pierced at does this mean it’s infected? There isn’t any pus blood and it doesn’t hurt.
No, you might’ve slept on it or it’s just irritated because it’s new. Just keep cleaning it twice a day and wash your hands before touching it. The same thing happened to me, it’s just irritated.
@The Piercing Outlet I slept on my earrings 🙃 🙄 and my left ear earring was slightly bent, I had to put a lil forced to get the earring out and a lil blood came out with the earring. Put some Claire's rappid ear cleaner on it - when I rubbed the piercing no blood came on the cotton ball. Im going to let my left ear breathe for about 3 hours and going to put another straight earring in. (Had my piercings in both ears for 2 years - first time this 'bent earring blood' thing happen) I guess I'm too lazy to take them out before I go to bed, now I am going to have to take them out before I go to bed👍🏿I have been sleeping with my earrings in for 2 years - I'm a man by the way, I hope my left ear is okay😇 If you see this any tips?
I got my second whole a week ago and one ear hurts really badly and the other doesn’t, the ear that’s hurts is the left side. I’ve been sleeping on my right side. I clean it everyday and try to keep my hair back most of the time. I do the same to both ears. I hurts so bad sometimes I can’t move my head . Should I be Worried and what should I do.
i got my cartilage pierced and my right side is EXTREMELY IRRITATED, i accidentally tightened the back and now it’s extremely painful to do anything, i’ve tried to get it off but i can’t it hurts so bad to even touch it. please help
Same my left ear hurts the most I got my ears pierced on 3 days ago and I can’t even sleep properly at night as I normally sleep on sides but it’s hurts really badly idk wht to do
Hey, my right earlobe has a small ?ball? Or something in it, I can feel it when I rub my earlobe. Can somebody tell me what it is? Btw, my ear piercing has probably closed up as I stopped wearing my earrings a long time ago early on.
woah im having deja vu watching this anyways i just got my lobes done and my right ear feels fine but my left one is giving me some trouble and its bringing out my inner hypochondriac im dreading going showering and sleeping
I got my second lobe piercing about 10 years ago. I’ve never been able to wear earrings in the second hole because I get allergic reactions about 10 minutes after putting them in. However, I can wear those same earrings in the first lobe piercing without any issue/allergic reactions. I only have the reactions in the second hole. Does anyone else have this issue?
I’ve had my ear lobes pierced for years and just recently after wearing cheap earrings my right ear swelled up and became inflamed and painful. I think it was a reaction to the earring but I can’t figure out why it bothered only to one ear and not the other. Went back to wearing only hypoallergenic or surgical steel earrings
My left right is irritated but my right ear is perfectly normal and I got em pierced about 7 months ago How should I get rid of the swelling and the little bump that’s on my left ear?
I got my ears pierced (second holes in lobes) a month ago. When the piercer did them, he started on my right, and it hurt pretty bad right away. The second one was a normal pinching pain. Not too bad. But my right one was throbbing for most of the day. The next day, my left one didn't hurt at all anymore, but my right was still sore. A month later, and my right one still feels sore. I've been washing them twice a day with a salt water soak, so I have no idea what is going on. Are some ears just more sensitive? Could he have hit a nerve in my ear or something?
i think my piercing is too tight but i dont think im able to loosen it and its not fully healed so im scared to take it out to change the earring. What do I do?
I am wearing new silver studs in my ear lobe one ear is normal and other one is swelling and paining …i have removed my ear studs 4-5times to heal it it also heals then next time i wear it again it happens the same ….should I continue to wear it even if it swells or remove it?
Question if you don't mind. Do they feel differently in each ear? I think I'm freaking myself out but they Def feel different. I am thinking it's because I had one ear pierced previous and the one on the right is brand new? Anyhow, I've been watching you through my ear piercing journey, thank you and keep up the good work.
Hey so I had my ears pierced for 7months and I decided to take one out for 1 week because why not and when I decided to put them on my ear hole is not completely shut, but I can put the earring from the front but the back is difficult and it hurts.
I have a question I feel like I know the answer but anyways I’m getting a piercing (cartilage ) and I don’t like the piercing I’m getting in when it’s pierced I have the piercings I wanna put in… can I put it in after the piercing after cleaning It.? will it infect my ear? and the one I wanna put in is a hoop one
I just got a new piercing and I had the same problem, I've just been putting it in a bobble at the back (I used the spiraly ones because they hold it better) and then using clips to hold the hair that's near the piercing so that it doesn't get in the way, I've just been sleeping like that and it's been okay
It's been 10 months since I pierced my ears and they haven't healed yet :( probably bcs i kept removing them earlier this year ) but then I leave them alone for 4 to 5 weeks and theyre still painful.. :( .. I never had problems like infection on my right ear, (last time i had infections was on my left piercing) but now, my right ear is infected.. I did clean them with non iodized saline solution.. May I know what is wrong with my ears? :'(
Two month old piercing with lump inside the lobe, weepy, crusties, and occasional bump filled with blood and flesh (sorry, tmi). Is this ok or should i be concerned? I clean twice daily.
Omg me too!!!!! I will put them in during the day and take them out at night but if I wear earrings for a few days in a rom my right ear will get red and pussy in the hole.
i got my ears priced and the lady gave me the studex product and said to apply 3 times a day for 3 weeks and i should be able to change it would anyone recommend eating longer?
I used the studex advance and changed mine after 3 weeks. One ear was still tender and decided to keep them in for longer and continued to clean them for a few more weeks with the solution.
I had my Helix pierced 4 days ago and it was all okay until yesturday, it hurt a bit and then I woke up and it was much more swollen and red, is it normal for it to be okay and then turn red and swollen after 3 days? Should I just keep cleaning it or is it the start of an infection, I had it done with a needle and it's my first piercing (well I had my lower lobes when I was little but I'm too young to remember, my mum said she just cleaned them and twisted and they're totally fine now) so what should I do/ is this normal?
its actually normal, mine is already less than a month but still swells and hurts often because i sleep on the side where i have the cartilage piercing and the cartilage heals different from the lobes. just regularly clean it and be very gentle so that you won’t hit it accidentally.
So I just got 14k gold earings and I’ve had my ears pierced for 8 months and 3 on the same ear 1 is fine but the other 2 are throbbing like a mf please help
