After the ears have been pierced, in order to ensure a continued infection free result, these simple procedures should be followed for the first six weeks.

1. Cleanse the earlobes twice a day WITHOUT REMOVING THE EARRINGS. Use liberal amounts of EAR CARE ANTISEPTIC LOTION on a cotton wad and apply on and around pierced areas, back and front of both ears.

2. After cleansing the earlobes, rotate the earrings (like winding a watch) once or twice.

3. Keep hair spray, soap, shampoo and other hair preparations away from the ear. After shampooing, the earlobe should be thoroughly rinsed with clear water and then repeat step 1.

4. The piercing stud should NOT be removed for six weeks. After this time other post type earrings may be worn.

5. Before inserting any earrings into the earlobes, cleanse them by soaking in EAR CARE ANTISEPTIC LOTION and apply a small amount of antiseptic gel or cream or vaseline to the tip of the earring so as to prevent them scratching the inside of the earlobe.

6. Some type of post earings MUST be worn at all times for the first six months otherwise the hole could close over. The post of any earing used should be of quality gold or surgical stainless steel. CAUTION: No wire style earrings should be worn for at least four months after the ears have been pierced.

7. Should excessive redness, irritation, itching or soreness occur, you should consult your family doctor.
