Pierced my own ear with a needle. Need urgent help!?

Question:

As sad as it sounds, I wanted my ear pierced badly and my mom said no. So i took matter in my own hands and now im sitting in this chair with a needle that has been pierced through my ear. I first cleaned the needle, iced my ear, then pierced it! But I am very scared! It seems like the needle is stuck in my ear (it is very tight in) I can PROBABLY take it out but I dont know what to do at this point. The Needle has been pierced through my ear for the past 15mins. Please someone help !

Answers:
dude calm down your not in that bad of a situation just use a warm wash cloth this will expand the blood vessels and allow the needle to be freed easier have the ice ready as soon as the needle is out apply the ice this will constrict the vessles and seal the hole then tell your mom what you did so she can help you keep it from infection

take the needle out and plaster ur ear. lol. go to the piecer. get it done properly! and tell ur mum u took the matter into ur own hands. then shell let u go to get it dun lol!

goo luck. ur ear will be fine and heal quickly.

ice it and when its numb put a blob of vaseline on it, It should come right out.

take it out and put some alcohol on it. You should of pierced it with a sharp earring, so you wouldn't have to take it out, but it will only hurt a little bit.

Remove it ASAP. Keep the area clean.

omg.. that was really bad idea. do u have someone you can trust that is home with you other than ur mom.. ?!.. if so ask them to take it out slowly and put non-hurting antibiotic cream.. it will close back up. if u really want ur ear to be pierced that badly ask you mom to have it done for ur next birthday. And if no one else is home.. your going to hav to do it yourself or be really nice to your mom for about a month!

Take it out, and clean it good, and apply neosporin. Not your smartest move, eh?

You may need a tetanus booster for the puncture even though you you say you cleaned the needle. Call Mom or another family member to help you with the needle. You do not want it to break off in your ear !
Good luck, RN in Ca.

Sorry I had to laugh at this one. On a serious note tho, you will need to get a pair of plyers and pull it through if you can not get it out with your fingers. I pierced my own ears with just a pair of earrings. My mom let me tho. You know your mom is going to be mad that you went against her wishes. Make sure you clean it good with alcohol and if you haven't gotten your tetanus shot yet you may need one.

tsk, tsk... shoulda listened to mom. You'll be fine.

pull that needle out the other side and put in that earring. after so much pain have something to show for the pain.

now do the next ear or walk around with just one earring.

then witch hazel on both sides of the piercing.. keep the piercing VERY clean. clean 2 or 3 times a day with witch hazel on both sidesl If the piercing turns red it has a infection, treat that with a over the counter cream. neosportian with pain killer about 3.00.
put that cream on both sides of the ear until it clears. wash with soap when you wash your face and hair.

TELL MOM! Thats what u get for not listening to mommy!
