Ear piercings not healing
It has been 6 months since we had Lanna's ears pierced and they still don't seem to be healed. I tried changing them from 18k gold piercing studs to sterling posts at around the 3 month mark, and they were pretty hard to get in and out. She had a reaction to the sliver, so I put the studs back in and they cleared up again so we just left them alone. I recently got some 14k gold studs for her and figured we'd try them out, and the piercing earrings still didn't come out easily (and she screamed bloody murder)!
Has anyone else had a hard time with this? I thought we'd be able to start taking them out for bed at around this time, but no way am I going to do that when she fusses so much about the pain!
Re: Ear piercings not healing
do you make sure she is twisting them regularly?
I gave up on changing EJ's earrings. I figure I will try again when she is like 10. Right now they don't even match because one fell out at Disney and I had to get a replacement. Also, when I do have to change them, or put one back in I do it while she is sleeping. She wakes up, but falls right back to sleep after and has no memory of me doing it. <bwahahahahahaha> I would switch her back to a matching pair but I don't know where the other ones ended up.
I have had sore earrings forever. (I got them pierced when I was 2 and 2nd holes when I was in 5th grade, which I then had to have re-pierced when I was a Freshman in college.)
I can really only wear 14 carat or sterling silver earrings, and they still get sore from time to time, especially the 2nd holes. My earrings also usually have gunk on them whenever I do take them out.
When they do get sore, I dip the posts of the earrings in neosporin before I put them back in. It seems to help. So maybe daily twisting them and putting neo on the outside? Then when you do have to change them, dip in neo. At the very least, it seems to lubricate the posts so that they slide a bit more easily.
