Is it superstition to pierce your ears and break the good news?

It is superstition to pierce the ear and break the blessing.

Ear piercing means making a permanent wearable earring hole in a specific part of the earlobe. The earlobe can be generally divided into small earlobe type, common earlobe type and large earlobe type. One of the keys to piercing ears is to choose the right position. The best position of the hole is to draw a horizontal line at the bottom of the notch of the tragus, and draw a vertical line downward at 1/3 of the horizontal line. Divide the vertical line into three parts, and the upper 1/3 is the perforation point.

The best time to get pierced ears is at the end of March and the end of September every year, because the weather is just right. At other times, it is either too cold or too hot, which is not conducive to ear repair. When washing your face and sleeping, you should avoid squeezing and hitting your ears. Do not get wet for at least 7 days after ear piercing, and keep dry and ventilated. You don't need to turn your earrings the week before, just wait for a week to scab off.

Matters needing attention in piercing ears

Piercing ears is harmful to tissues. For the sake of protection, whether it is scarred or not, we should pay special attention not to let the wound infection cause scars. Generally, the puncture site will be temporarily red and swollen after ear piercing. If it lasts for 2-3 days, it is normal. If it is red and swollen for more than a week, it may be an infection. If there is pus, it must be an infection. This is related to the unsanitary tools when piercing ears and the lack of serious disinfection and anti-inflammatory after piercing ears.

At this time, we should immediately disinfect the earrings with alcohol and replace them with sterilized medical silk thread, and use several silk threads as implants to prevent the ear holes from closing and discharging secretions, so as to prevent the infection from worsening. If necessary, we should take antibiotics orally or inject antibiotics to reduce inflammation, and then wear real gold and silver earrings after 1-3 months, and then wear our favorite earrings when the situation is stable.
