Is itching a sign of infection in an ear lobe piercing?


I just got second and third piercings in my ears [1 week ago] and the third one on my left ear is itching. I didn't get a third one in my right ear, so I have nothing to compare it to for normality. So I was wondering if I should take it out because its itching, its not swollen or red or anything, it just itches.

itching is normal. watch for signs of infection: redness, swelling, puss discharge.

I think itching means its healing. Keep it moisturized with ointment...

Itching is due to allergic reaction to the metal contained in your jewelery. You need to change your ear studs. Before doing so, remove the existing one and apply coconut oil over the itching place for a week. Start wearing the new jewelery after the itching stops.

Yes It Is. Use Bactine, It Gets Rid Of Infections Quick.

Normally it signifies healing. But keep an eye for pus formationor smell.If yes, consult a skin doctor.
