Ear pierced
hey!
Just got my ears pierced, I know you're not supposed to take the earings out for like six weeks because they can close up, but I was wondering why you cant even take them out for a few minutes to clean them. Can they close up that fast?

When I got my ear (tregus) pierced, I found that the best thing to do was this (I did it for my lobes too):
Make up a warm salt water solution, take a cotton bud and clean around the front of the stud, getting as much of the solution into the front of the hole as you can.
Then remove the butterfly back off the earring, and put loads of the solution on the back, tilt your head a bit so it goes through the hole. Wipe away with a dry cotton bud, removing any pus (pus is perfectly normal, it's the body healing itself).
Clean the back off in the solution- pus can really easily get stuck in the butterfly style backs.
I know this sounds a lot for simple ear piercings, but I've had lobes, tregus and lip pierced and trust me, piercing hygeine is SO important.

You should only ever take a fresh piercing out if its ABSOLUTELY necessary. For example: If the jewelry is incorrect and causing discomfort and you have checked with your piercer.
You do not need to take out your piercings to clean them. and don't touch them apart from when cleaning, to prevent bacteria from your hands entering the wound.
Edit:
Sorry, I thought it may have made it clear by saying NOT to remove the jewelry! Yes, they close up fast. Everyone is different at the end of the day, but considering you've just got them done, we are talking minutes here, as the wound is still fresh.
Hope that cleared up your question. :)

Hello !
Well because your ears just getting used to the whole xS
When you pierce your ear its a pretty small whole and when you leave it in for 6 weeks the whole gets bigger and get used to being opened.
MuchLOVE!

well, i got my ears pierced and i took one out a week later. it was really hard to get it back through and it hurt again and it was bleeding and it swelled and stuff, so maybe it does start closing up really fast. i think the main problem is that if you take it out, it can get infected really easily. just don't take it out. clean it with them in, just like they say.

just clean them with them in. Only take them out if they start to get infected. it's not going to feel good to take them out, &believe me, you won't want the pain of getting them back in.
clean them in your ears& clean them hon.
