When ears are first pierced: Have the ears pierced by an expert. The person should clean and sterilize all the tools. Use 14-carat gold or stainless steel posts. Put the earring clasp on loosely. This allows for any swelling. Clean and wash the holes two times a day. Do this for 6 weeks. First wash your hands. Turn the post 3 times while you clean around the hole. Then clean both sides of the holes with rubbing alcohol. Don’t take the posts out for 6 weeks unless it gets infected. Some children should not have their ears pierced. DO NOT pierce the ears if your child bleeds easily, gets thick scars (keloids), or gets skin infections easily.
