It is important that ear piercing be done safely and hygienically. Infections after ear piercing can occur due to use of non sterile piercing techniques, equipment or earrings.
Inserting earrings, brought in by parents, into newly pierced ears, can be a source of contamination and should be discouraged. These earrings also tend to be made of gold which containd nickel and thus has a chance of causing irritation due to nickel allergy.
In the rare instance that infection is suspected, a visit with a medical professional is needed to diagnose and treat the condition.
