As a fully-trained pretend doctor the primary solution is rather simple, you should wash your ears and plugs just like you would wash the rest of your body. We would recommend taking your plugs out and washing them every day, the shower is the most ideal place to do so. Rinse your ear with warm water and clean with an anti-bacterial soap if possible, once washed your ear should be dried thoroughly to prevent moisture build up.
We would also recommend massaging your ear with our very own Jojoba oil once the ear has dried. Please be sure to dry them before putting them back in to your ear. One final point. Wipe natural jewelry clean with a damp cloth, and apply a little Jojoba oil to condition them. Natural jewelry with inlays must be treated very gently! Some suggestions from customers also include: use a drop of tea tree oil or lavender oil on the piercing after you wash and dry the skin.
Want to see something kind of gross? Tapers — these gauges are shaped like cones. Double flared plugs — each end has a lip on it that is an increase in size by at least. If you are not then you can start at a 20g or an 18g. The best kind of gauges to start your stretch would be the crescents, because at the tips of both ends the gauge is very small and they slowly increase until you reach the middle where the actual size is.
A tip for ear gauging? Lubrication will save you a lot of trouble. The cheapest kind of lubrication is olive oil. Slip your gauge in and push it as far as you can until you meet a slightly painful resistance. You need to stop here for a safe stretch. Just like Rome, ear gauging might not get done in a day. You can wait a couple of hours and try to push your ear gauge in a little further.
It should at the most be slightly uncomfortable. The pain at the most should be a very warm feeling in your ear that is, if your hand passes over it, it should — at worst — feel very warm and red.
If you are bleeding or the pain is unbearable, leave the gauge where it is — maybe even move it back to a slightly safer position — and continue the next day. Your skin sheds almost every hour on the hour and all of those dead skin cells are left sitting on the gauge.
Thus the stinky smell. To prevent this, a strict cleaning regiment is needed. Your skin sheds almost every hour on the hour and all of those dead skin cells are left sitting on the gauge. Thus the stinky smell. To prevent this, a strict cleaning regiment is needed. Ear stretching with silicone can lead to blowouts, bacterial issues including intrusions and infections.
Don't get us wrong! Silicone plugs are great for healed stretched piercings and other large piercings because they're so comfy and lightweight. Fortunately 00 gauge is certainly big, but not huge when compared with other ear projects. You're looking at perhaps 3 to 4 months, or a few months more, depending on how fast of a healer you are.
Lymph is a natural body secretion that is sent to an injury site, such as a gauge site, to help the skin heal. Sebum and body oils are present throughout the body, including the area around the ear. If there is a buildup of any or all of these substances, an odor will most likely follow. So, neglecting to wash there thoroughly might be the cause of odor behind the ears.
