Medical ear piercing is performed by a doctor who has specialized training in ear piercing, ensuring a safe and hygienic process. This method reduces the risks associated with pediatric ear piercing, such as infections, inaccurate hole placement, or damage to the ear lobe.
Doctors trained in pediatric ear piercing understand the unique anatomy and needs of children, including the delicate structure of their ear lobes. They take special care to evaluate the ear lobes for potential issues like cysts before piercing and use techniques designed to achieve precise placement and minimize risks. This approach ensures optimal results and helps prevent complications.
If an infection develops around a piercing, prompt medical attention is essential. Left untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding skin or other areas of the body. Treatment may include topical medications, oral antibiotics, and detailed care instructions. Timely care helps resolve the infection and prevents further complications.
Never attempt to reopen a closed piercing hole on your own. A closed hole can result from various causes, including infection, cysts, or improper care. Reopening should only be performed by a doctor to avoid infection or other complications. If you notice the hole closing or if the area around it becomes red or tender, contact the office immediately for an evaluation.
