Answer 1

it probably won't get infected cause my friend did that and it never got infected.

Answer 2

it probably won't get infected, just keep it clean and be careful

Answer 3

i hope it does.  would teach you a lesson.  go to Claires.  it's about $10, and it'll save you from a doctor's visit.

Answer 4

yes, you should boil it out with peroxide and place a cornmeal poultice on it for 2 days.

Answer 5

if you keep it clean for the next 4-6 weeks you should be fine. For future piercings you can get this cool kit at Walgreen's that comes with a piercing gun and I believe 2 studs for 15 bucks. Good luck

Answer 6

Ahh it may get infected just due to the fact that using a lighter to heat everything up is really not steralising everything properly. Dont worry you can prevent it all fro.m happening if the after care from now on is done properly. For the next two weeks, make sure you clean the area twice a day with warm salty water. Gently twist the earing so that the salt water can go through all of the wound.

I honestly wouldnt recommend peircing anything at home, but as long as you care for the peircing well after then it should be fine

Goodluck =]

Answer 7

buy antibiotic spray for the ear.

it will kill the germs etc.

you shouldnt do it for a couple of days.

minimum 2 weeks.
