Ear gauges wont heal?

Question

ive had my ears pierced from a 14g and over the summer ive stretched to a 4g,and they bleed every now and then.When I clean them out is there anything i can put on them to make them heal faster or clean them out better?

I clean them with warm soap and water everyday...well almost everyday,when i can/or remember.Sometimes I put rubbing alcohol on the taper before putting it back in.

Answer 1

So you've stretched up 5 sizes in a matter of a few months? That is way too fast and is probably one of your problems. Rubbing alcohol is BAD. It is too harsh on piercings. You should stretch down and let your ears heal and then try stretching up again in a long period of time so this doesn't happen again. The soap part is good. You should be using antibacterial soap that is fragrance free. Another thing you should be doing is sea salt soaks. H2Ocean spray works really well.

No, hand sanitizer also contains alcohol. It will be too harsh on your ears.
