The ear lacerations can easily cause keloid scars, not to mention the inability to wear beautiful earrings. The pain and itchiness caused by keloid scars are also deeply troubling for these patients. …… earlobe keloid scars. Therefore, Dr. Muhsin Zhao would like to give some scientific advice to those who are about to have their earlobes pierced and those who have already had their earlobes pierced or have formed keloids: Go to a regular hospital to have your earlobes pierced. Piercing the earlobes is an invasive operation that needs to be done through the skin and even through the cartilage, so please go to a regular medical place. Hospitals generally use lasers or disposable needles to pierce ears, and there is less chance of infection in ear piercing. Street piercings generally use ear piercing guns, and these devices are not for single use, so if disinfection is not in place, you can easily get infected with viruses such as Hepatitis C when piercing ears, in addition to a high chance of infection. Also, regular medical places charge very cheaply, so please don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can get your ears pierced anywhere! The earlobe is the most common location for ear piercing. Generally, if you are not a keloid and there is no secondary infection after piercing, no keloid will be formed. The infection mentioned here is not just the obvious redness, swelling and pain, because the earlobe itself is a small incision, so sometimes it is a chronic, slightly red, recurring infection with discharge, and this chronic infection is often the cause of the formation of keloid scars. And some ear eyes are pierced on the skin or even cartilage of the ear whorl, an area that is more prone to infection, especially if it runs through the cartilage. It is very dangerous to pierce the ear eye on the ear wheel and other penetrating ear bones. Piercing the ear eye on the earlobe is the basis to ensure that no keloid is created. Cartilage itself is a tissue that cannot resist infection, so even people who are not keloid will grow keloids on their ear wheels. In the clinic, I met a girl who had two ear eyes pierced on her earlobe and two on her earwheel, but the one on the earlobe had no problem, while the one on the earwheel had two keloids. Therefore, if you have a tendency to have keloids, you should never pierce your earring, especially not the kind of earring that goes through the cartilage. What should I pay attention to when I pierce my earring? 1. Don’t have local skin infections such as acne; 2. Don’t get water on the area for the first few days after the piercing, disinfect it daily, and support the ear hole with a clean support, it is not recommended to wear all kinds of gold and silver jewelry immediately after the piercing. Do not ignore this chronic small infection, as this chronic and repeated infection stimulation is the main culprit of keloid scarring. 4. Within one month after lancing the earring, please rub the earring with alcohol before wearing it, as the epithelial structure inside the early earring is not very stable. What should I do after a keloid appears? The recurrence rate can be reduced by a combination of surgery and medication injections by going to a regular hospital as early as possible. For keloid patients, the likelihood of recurrence is higher and its recurrence can be further controlled by physical compression therapy after surgery.
