Piercing care and mishaps?
Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:53 am
hi!
yesterday, i got my ears pierced on a whim with my sister. it's the second time i've gotten them pierced, because the first time was ... not so good.
my right lobe got infected so badly that the little stud embedded itself into my lobe and healed up one of the holes! my doctor had to dig sterilized tweezers into the back of my earlobe and pull it out. i'll spare you the bloody details-- it was NASTY and PAINFUL!
this brings me to my inquiries-- do you have any special tips for keeping a good, clean piercing free of infection? have you had any piercing mishaps like mine? what did you do? i'd love to hear about them!
