Professional Ear Piercing in Manchester

At Longboon Pharmacy, we provide not only simple but also safe ear piercing in Manchester. Our professional will use either a needle or piercing gun to mark a spot and create a hole. However, this will depend on the part of your ear that you choose. The piercer will then place an earring in the hole.

What health conditions would prevent you from ear piercing?

Piercing is not ideal during pregnancy because of the likelihood of getting an infection. You should also consult with your GP or pharmacist first if you have:

– Diabetes
– Hemophilia
– An autoimmune disorder
– A heart condition
– A condition that reduces or prevents recovery
– Skin conditions in the places you want piercing, for instance, a lesion, rash, lump, cut, or mole

What’s common for a new ear piercing?

During the first few weeks, a new ear piercing might:

– be tender, itchy, and the nearby area may be slightly red on light skin, or a bit darker than normal on dark skin
– produce a pale fluid that becomes a crust

Small lumps, known as granulomas may sometimes form around the piercing as a result of trapped fluids. To treat the lumps, soak a pad in warm water then hold it against them once a day.

Preventing infections in ear piercings

– choose not only a qualified but also an experienced and licensed piercer
– clean your ear piercing twice a day
– use warm and salty water to soften the crusting
– turn the jewellery gently while cleaning
– dry the ear-piercing using a clean paper towel

Signs of an infected ear piercing

An ear-piercing might be infected if:

– the area surrounding it is swollen, painful, hot, very red or dark (depending on your skin colour)
– blood or pus is coming out of it
– either your temperatures go up or you feel shivery suddenly

Treatment for infected ear piercings

You may require antibiotics if your ear piercing is infected. This can be either a cream, ointment, or tablets.
