If you love beauty, you should be careful about the "lumps of flesh" caused by ear piercing!

If you wear earrings well, your face will be small. Many people think they will look beautiful after getting their ears pierced... but the result is: after waking up from a sleep, the ear holes are so swollen that they are about to close!!!

You must have seen ear inflammation, swelling, pus discharge caused by ear piercing. Have you seen "pimples"? ! Xiaoli (pseudonym), a beauty-loving girl in her early 20s, had two pierced ears on her right ear. Unexpectedly, she had a "turnaround"... First, there was swelling around the ear holes. After using anti-inflammatory ointment for several days, the swelling subsided. However, she felt a hard "little knot" around the ear holes. She thought it was a normal recovery of the skin and did not pay much attention to it.

As a result, the "small hard knot" continued to grow larger, and finally grew into a bunch of "small meat balls" (the longest diameter was 3cm), and the ear was completely changed. This time, she could not sit still and found the ENT department of Beichen Hospital. The doctor diagnosed that it turned out to be a keloid after the ear was pierced. Some patients ignored it because it was not painful or itchy, and as a result, the knots continued to grow, and even changed the shape of the earlobe before they came to see a doctor.
Keloid refers to a raised scar that is formed beyond the original injury range due to abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue in the ear skin after various trauma or inflammatory stimulation. If you find that the keloid has affected the appearance or continues to grow larger and itch, you should seek medical help in time and seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the earlobe and auricle. Finally, Xiaoli successfully underwent surgery to remove the keloid.

The earlobes, chest, shoulder blades and other parts are relatively prone to keloids. Although the cause of keloids has not yet been determined, scar constitution, infection, foreign body stimulation, excessive local tension and other factors are important causes, and keloids are prone to recurrence.

Generally speaking, people with scar-prone constitutions are more likely to develop keloids, but people with normal constitutions are also likely to develop keloids if they do not take good care of their wounds.

Therefore, before getting your ears pierced, you must first understand whether you have a scar-prone physique!!!

01 Scars are always left after multiple injuries or surgeries on different or the same part of the body, and they often protrude from the surface of the skin and feel hard;

02 Some minor injuries will leave scars;

03 There are multiple family members who have experienced the situations described in the above two items.

If 2 of the above 3 items are met, then there is a high probability that you have a scar-prone constitution.
Finally, the ENT Department of Beichen Hospital reminds you to choose a regular institution for ear piercing. Keep the ear piercing clean and dry within one or two weeks after piercing and pay attention to local hygiene to prevent infection.
