There are also netizens who advise:

The beauty-loving behavior of “ear piercing” can be said to be very common Yes,
But Liu Pei said, (as a doctor)We don’t really recommend getting ear pierced.
Although it is a simple operation, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for it.
After investigation, informal places may cause infection due to inadequate disinfection of instruments.
< b>The most common infection is Staphylococcus aureus, and repeated infection will lead to the formation of hypertrophic scars.
Yang Xichuan, chief physician of the Department of Dermatology, Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University, said, If it is a scar constitution, don’t fight.
In addition, the following categories of people should carefully consider ear piercing:
1. Even if the ear piercing is disinfected and cared for, it is still repeatedly inflamed
2. Ear piercing is not recommended for people who are allergic to nickel, chromium or other metals. Therefore, a patch test can be done before piercing, or some hypoallergenic medical steel materials can be used. ear studs;
3. People with coagulation disorders and a history of keloids or family history are also not suitable for earrings. If you have acne, wounds or infection, it is recommended to treat it as soon as possible.
Those who want to pierce their ears should also pay attention to several issues:
1. Try to go to professional medical institutions, you can go to the medical cosmetology department, and postoperative care will generally not be inflamed according to the doctor’s advice. It is best not to go to street vendors, in addition to hygiene, also pay attention to technology;
2. Although current research has shown that silver-containing preparations and dressings have anti-inflammatory effects, such as nanocrystalline silver and silver nitrate, However, it does not mean that silver utensils have anti-inflammatory effects.
@Xi’an Fourth Hospital’s official Weibo post also confirmed the remarks.
In addition, Dr. Liu Yuanshui of Hainan Provincial People’s Hospital said that ear piercing is a small operation, and it is likely to cause the following types of risks Hidden dangers:
1. Causes ear discomfort
Ear piercing is usually done on the earlobe, and in most cases, there is not much pain. But many people don’t know that the blood content in this place is very low, and the circulation is slow, and the recovery speed after injury is also very slow, which will cause a lot of discomfort to the ears. Some people will feel a small lump after recovery from ear piercing, because a pseudocyst has formed here.
2. Difficult to clean and cause inflammation
After the ear holes are formed, because of the need to wear earrings frequently, bacteria are prone to breed. However, ear holes are generally difficult to clean, and it is easy to cause ear inflammation and suppuration over time.
3. Affecting eye vision
This is not alarmist, because there are many peripheral nerves related to vision distributed on the ear, and it is very difficult to pierce the wrong ear. It is easy to cause ear bone damage, which directly leads to visual nerve reflexes, which in turn affects hearing.
4. Causes acupuncture points to be blocked
There are many acupuncture points on the ear, and we can often see a lot of ear holes in our life For people, this can easily cause the acupuncture points on the ears to be blocked, making the acupuncture points blocked and the meridians blocked.
Everyone has a love for beauty, but health is the most important thing.
If you feel uncomfortable after piercing your ears, you must seek medical attention in time!
