I had my ears pierced 3 days ago, and one hole is bleeding a tiny bit. Normal or early sign of infection? ?

Question

Thanks so much, I'll continue to clean it really well and I'll come back if it starts to feel irritated.

Answer 1

Do you have a string attached to your ear lobs or just an silver ear ring. It's normal for a slight bleeding. Pierced ears takes about a week or more to heal. Use a alcohol swab to clean around the the piercing area every day and night. It will reduce infection and will heal faster.  

Answer 2

When I got my ears pierced i didn't bleed at all. It will probably stop in a few days. If not it might be an infection.  

Answer 3

Remember to always use a ear piercing cleaning solution like alcohol or peroxide to clean affected area. Most importantly, remember to rotate the earrings in your ears by spinning them around slowly so that that don't heal to your skin. Keeping your piercings clean and rotating at least once a day will help. The place where you had them pierced will also have the ear solution and instructions for you and what to expect. Don't be afraid to ask for them. It's your ears that need to look and feel good for you!
