I had my ears pierced for the first time three days ago, normal sterile procedure etc. and gold studs put in.
Can I have some advice and cleaning/care? They are slightly pink and a little bit sore, but I don't think there is an infection as the symptoms are very mild. I have been twiddling them round and using hydrogen peroxide (a bit like dilute savlon) to clean the skin twice a day.
Is this normal? Am I doing the right thing? How long do I keep up the daily cleaning? How would I know if there was an infection developing which means I should take the earring out?
All advice gratefully received!
