After getting your ears pierced, it's important to take care of them.You'll want to leave your earrings in for at least 6 weeks, if not longer, before changing them out. Clean them with a mild, fragrance-free soap at least once a day (make sure you wash your hands before doing so). Thoroughly rinse the ears to make sure no soap is left around the piercing, and pat dry. Avoid touching your new piercing unless necessary.Always keep an eye on your piercing - soreness, swelling or redness may occur as a natural part of the heeling process.
