Ear piercing is a popular form of beauty, but many people often experience swelling after the piercing. Whether it is a swollen piercing or a swollen earring hole , these problems often make you feel anxious and unconfident. So what is the cause of a swollen piercing and how to effectively deal with a swollen ear piercing?
Causes of swollen piercing
Swollen piercings often occur due to certain causes. To be able to effectively deal with swollen pierced ears, you need to understand the following factors:
Unsafe piercing tools
One of the main causes of swollen piercings is that the tools are not properly cleaned. When the piercing tools are not clean or hygienic, bacteria can easily enter the piercing hole, causing inflammation and swelling of the earring hole . Choosing a reputable piercing facility and sterile tools is very important to avoid this situation.
Not abstaining from eating properly
Another reason for a swollen piercing is not following a proper diet. After getting a piercing, you should avoid foods that can easily cause inflammation such as seafood, beef, sticky rice, or spicy foods. If you do not follow a diet, the piercing may swell, making the condition of the piercing worse.
Careless cleaning of earrings
Improper care of earrings is also the cause of swelling in the earring hole . Not cleaning properly or not cleaning the earrings regularly will allow bacteria to enter the piercing hole, causing infection and swelling. Especially when you wear silver earrings for men or silver earrings for men , you need to pay attention to hygiene to avoid this phenomenon.
Atopic dermatitis
Not everyone is compatible with piercing materials. Sometimes, the body reacts to metals like nickel or alloys in piercings, leading to allergic reactions, itching, and swelling in the piercing hole. If you experience swelling due to an allergic reaction, you should switch to men's piercings made of sterling silver or medical steel, which are less irritating materials.

How to deal with swollen pierced ears
When you experience a swollen piercing, it is important to treat it promptly to avoid infection and make the condition worse. Here are some effective ways to treat a swollen ear piercing :
First, clean your piercing thoroughly. Before touching your piercing or earring, wash your hands thoroughly. Use a saline solution or mild antiseptic to clean the piercing area at least twice a day. Avoid using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as these can dry out the skin and make the piercing more painful.
If your earring hole is swollen and painful, you can try a cold compress. Wrap an ice cube in a soft towel and apply it gently to the swollen area for about 10 minutes. This will help reduce swelling and inflammation quickly without causing additional pain.
If the piercing is swollen and shows signs of infection such as pus or discharge, you should remove the piercing immediately. Then, see a doctor for timely diagnosis and treatment. Do not use antibiotics or squeeze pus on your own because it can make the inflammation worse.
To avoid swelling from piercings , you should choose safe piercings such as silver piercings for men or piercings made from medical steel, these materials are less irritating and suitable for sensitive skin. Choose a reputable piercing facility that ensures hygiene and proper procedures to minimize the risk of swelling or infection.
