Pierced ears still bleeding slightly months after being pierced

Honestly, it doesn't sound like your DD is reacting to the metal particularly.The only problem is that you've ripped the wound open over and over. The important thing now is just to keep the earrings in and touch them as little as possible. A gentle once a day clean is fine, no more, and I wouldn't even normally do that at this stage if it weren't for the fact that it's still open.

Surely the piercer told you the earrings should stay in. They stay in even in the case of infection, because if you take them out, they will heal closed with the infection inside and become an abscess

I got a piercing over the summer and it still weeps a bit. They told me at the time that it takes a year for the body to give up trying to heal what it perceives as a wound so just roll with it for a few more months. Keep up the saline solution and tell her leave them in at night, maybe change the back as pp say.

Be careful..when I was 8 I had my ears pierced and they developed a bump around the piercing also and one day one of them got badly infected and the whole lobe swelled up and went rock hard and painful. My mum took the earring out and blood poured out onto my coat so that was the end of my piercings (until I was 13, they went bad too, had them done the last time age 19 they are still OK 23 years on)

Stop taking them out!

You don’t need to take them out to clean them, just use a cotton bud and clean round them. Taking them out constantly is causing the problem. No wonder they’re so sore.

My nose and cartilage piercings I didn’t take out for a year.

You don't need to remove them at night OR to clean them.

If they're sore just leave them alone, the skin needs to heal without you twisting or fiddling with them - that's probably what's causing the bleeding.

Ffs stop taking the earrings out! Clean around the piercing with the earrings in place.

Put the earrings in and leave them in place until you get advice from the piercer.

Just leave them in!!! Most of your difficulty is caused by all this taking them out and in! They just stay put and you clean around them with cotton buds.

Just put a comfortable pair of studs in there, clean around them with saline and a cotton bud, don't touch them unless necessary and only with washed hands and LEAVE THEM BE and they will almost certainly be fine soon enough.

Definitely. They need to stay in. I have lots of piercings and have never had any bother. I leave them in until fully healed. I don't even change them before that. It is quicker and easier that way. Google keloid and see if that is what the bumps are.

I would have kept them in until seeing the piercer.

Also, she could well be allergic to silver, get some titanium ones.

You don't need to take them out to clean them, use a cotton bud to gently clean any visible blood while the earring is in.

A little bump is common. Get comfortable studs with a flat back and leave them in. Spray them with saline and then use a hairdryer on cold to dry the area. They shouldn’t be left wet.

Sometimes just patience is needed. They will heal eventually. Are they actually hurting her ? I also wouldn't be taking them out overnight as there's no need, I never take mine out unless I want to swap them over. I've got 4 in each ear

I found mine healed so much quicker with hoops rather than studs. I think because more air was able to get to the wound.

Id say leave them in overnight
if she finds them uncomfortable look into some flat back earrings. there is then no post to dig in. alternatively sleeper hoops, but not sure if school would allow even tiny hoops

Are her earlobes thick? My 11 year old daughter got her ears pierced (at Claire.. yes I'm the worst mum) and it seemed they weren't healing. I found her earrings i put on her after the 8 weeks were too short in the post and were digging into her earlobes stopping them healing so I ordered some Sterling silver earrings for thick.lobes from amazon and they are much better

Shouldn't twist them either as that will also interfere with the healing process

Stop taking them out for bed. I used to spray mine with the cleaning solution and twist the earring.

Titanium/surgical steel earrings as others have suggested. But also get flat backed-earrings; butterfly backs can catch and irritate the skin. Also definitely don’t be sleeping in hoop earrings.

You need to keep a piercing in for the full year after having them pierced. You can bring them out to change the earring after 8-10 weeks, if you must, but not to leave them out overnight. You'll keep breaking the healing skin which is trying to heal overnight.

I would also say that after the initial piercing has healed twice daily cleaning is too much.

Keep the earrings in full time and clean around them front and back once a day. If you're concerned about a allergy to the metal go for titanium or surgical steel, personally I'm allergic to silver, so it's gold, or surgical steel for me.

You aren’t supposed to remove them at all for six months and it’s usually about a year before you can remove them for a while without them healing over.

She shouldn’t be taking them when they’re still relatively new piercings. Ok to change them after 6-8 weeks if all healed but it’s one pair our and put another straight in as they should stay in round the clock for the first year really. Also, I would try titanium studs instead as it’s hypoallergenic. Put them in, then leave them alone, don’t touch them, just saline spray twice a day.
