Good aftercare helps protect the result of a clean piercing visit. Your exact instructions should come from your provider, but the main idea is simple: keep the area clean, avoid unnecessary touching, and do not change starter earrings too early.
Blomdahl aftercare guidance generally keeps starter earrings in place during the early healing window. For earlobes, that commonly means about six weeks before changing earrings.
Do not change earrings early unless Jenny gives you different instructions.
Keep hands away
Touching new earrings with unwashed hands can irritate the area. Children may need reminders not to twist, pull, or play with new earrings.
Watch for concerns
Call the clinic or seek medical advice if you notice:
worsening redness,
swelling,
warmth,
drainage,
fever,
increasing pain,
an earring that feels embedded or too tight.
Plan around activities
If a child has sports, swimming, travel, or a major event coming up, mention that before scheduling. Timing matters when you want aftercare to be manageable.
To ask aftercare questions before scheduling, request a visit.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does ear piercing aftercare take?
Most starter earrings stay in continuously for the initial healing period recommended at your appointment. Follow the Blomdahl aftercare instructions Jenny provides rather than switching jewelry early.
Can my child swim after ear piercing?
Ask Jenny about timing for pools, rivers, splash pads, and sports based on the piercing date and healing progress. Keeping new piercings clean and dry early on helps reduce irritation risk.
What are signs an ear piercing needs professional attention?
Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, drainage, fever, embedded jewelry, or pain that is getting worse should prompt a call to a healthcare professional or urgent care.
Should we twist new earrings?
Follow the specific Blomdahl aftercare instructions given at your visit. Do not add extra cleaning steps, ointments, or movement unless instructed.
