Will up-sizing your ear infect it??


Question:
when i lost my 12g. pinchers, the holes shrunk down to a 16g. , and yesterday i tried slowly, hour by hour, putting in 10g. earrings.
They only hurt when the rings move..

But by doing that can my ears get infected?

what should i do?, i know it bled a bit.


Thanks for the help

Answers:
If it bled, then the skin was opened. Any open skin has the possiblity of getting infected.

Treat them like brand-new piercings: Keep them clean with antibacterial soap. NEVER ever ever use Neosporin or similar creams on piercings! Put salt water on them if they start getting infected.
Absolutely! Especially if the earrings are not real gold.
there is a possibility they could get infected, but nothing alcohol couldn't fix. there isn't as much of a chance as if you had just got them pierced. just put some rubbing alcohol on them, it won't hurt even if they aren't infected
Lol i tried stretching my ear with a piece off the boardgame "Mousetrap"..thats how my ear got infected.I repierced it this morning.
