Baby or Minors Ear Piercing Aftercare Guide

  • Given that it heals in about 8 to 16 weeks, the ear lobe piercing may be among the simpler piercings.
  • Throughout the healing process, clean your newly placed ear-piercing two to three times a day using a saline piercing aftercare solution.
  • Make the necessary adjustments to prevent your children from pulling or touching the piercings..
  • For as long as a month, stay away from the sea, pools, and tubs.
  • Keep the jewelry still. Do not twist the jewelry within the piercing.
  • Use Fucidin or Fucicort cream every night before sleeping to boost the healing process.
  • If you discover that your child has taken the jewelry off in any way, clean it with alcohol and try to put it back in the piercing hole as soon as you can. If you are unable to do so, come see us right away.
  • Have a piercer confirm that the piercing has fully healed before stopping aftercare practices.

Tips & Tricks

  • Every day, wash your piercings in clean water and mild soap in the shower. Don't forget to use a dryer to dry them after.
  • Applying fucicort lotion or fucidin helps accelerate the healing process.
  • Always begin with a light piece of jewelry, do not start with ring.
  • Keep your head and hair tidy because dandruff can quickly contaminate the piercings.
