  • just got mine 3 days ago...and bought some bactine spray to put on it to prevent infection because i was at work and it was gettin swolin and leakin clear juice..LOL...hopefully its not infected..but ima keep the spray with me and clean it regularly..it throbs pretty much all day until it scabs..then when i break the scab it throbs....should i keep twistin the bar every now and then?

  • Mine is still sow

  • Please help I have had mine over a month now and its still swollen at the top. Is this normal x

  • im 17 nd i got my industrial like a month after i turned 16, ive had small keloids/bubbles but got rid of em.but since like this past dec i noticed a bubble on upper inside right hole has a bubble nd recently its been bleeding.i think bc i took it out for a sec nd got a wash cloth wit warm water mixed with dial soap nd kinda rubbed it on the bump nd thts wen it 1st started bleeding.nd now almost everytime i clean it.it bleeds.it dnt hurt or nun like tht but i wna get rid of it w/o going to picer

  • Can you do a update video/ your industrial bars you have?

  • Im using hydrogen peroxide, and hoping it works since it is used to clean wounds etc. do u think it will heal faster with that in the future?

  • @RisSyBeoTcH69 Your not supposed to use peroxide it will delay the healing time and dry out your pericing makeing it red and sensitive to touch. i would stop using this and start using dial soap

  • I'm 12 and I got my industrial bar yesterday. I have been using the sea salt also, and I have been praying it dont get infectetd! Im gonna Start taking the advice you gave me! Thanks!(:

  • can someone explain to me why i suddenly have bumps on the back of my ear? :(( It's really hurting!

  • got mine done today thanks...long video or not awesome info better than some others here...

    

  • I got my industrial done about three weeks ago, and in the past days i got these really nasty bumps on my ear! I noticed it when I was changing and my shirt got caught on my earring, (nasty part) There happened to be a little pus coming out the bottom hole & tonight It started bleeding off and on. When I move the bar up and down it I can feel crustys.... I used mediterranean sea salt and it not helping. I don't know what else to do :( I really love it, but Don't know what else to do :( HELP

  • @hotcheetolovers i've had mine almost two years and that's normal for it to bleed when you get it caught on something because the skin is sensitive near the piercing right after you get it done. the puss and crustyness is normal too. i had all of that soo just clean it 2 or 3 times a day or however many times makes you happy. and you should move it throughout the day so your skin/crusties don't get stuck to it. hope that helps! ;p

  • @theonlytryshalee yes, h20cean is something u can use. It would be the same thing as soaking ur ear in the sea salt. Use it up to 5 times a day and when ur in the healing process make sure to clean it and not get any crustys in ur hole or it will get infected.

  • can you just use H2Ocean?

  • my piercer said, whatever piercing, salt is the best. i cleaned all of my piercings using salt. from tragus to tongue piercing. all good. it's good you shared with everyone the knowledge. :)

  • how long does it take to heal??

  • You should get your snug pierced :)

  • i really want one! when i get it pierced, how bad is the swelling? or throbbing? does it hurt when u wiggle it during cleaing? when will it be ok to change the bar? u think i can have one if i wear glasses often? thanks & sry for all the questions lol(:

  • @ifmyhearttwasahouse i got mine done a few days ago ,, idk about you but mine didnt sewll much, it didnt really hurt it felt like a regular ear piercing but i did hear ithe needle cutting through the cartilage, i wear glasses all the time and it's fine

  • Thank you so much!!!!!! :)

  • IT WAS HURTING WHEN I MOVED MINE IT HURT BUT IT OK IT WAS CRUSTY

  • I got my industrial done today it didnt hurt one bit. The piercer that did it was an ass really he was when he finished he didnt even try to offer any advice on how to take care of it and avoid infection if i hadnt dodne any research on it and watched this video i waould be lost. Anyway I went to look for the dial soap but they only had the original scent so i dont know if i should use it or what since it the original scented one

  • @soullessgirl666 the dial soap that my piercer recommended is the orange antibacteriall soap. i think it is called "gold"

  • @brianamw thanks ill trial and look for it later hopefully walgreens has it in stock I used the original scented one since thats the only one i had and it sorta made my piercing flare up i was actuallly considering buying the H2ocean i think its called but its expensive but illl try the one your piercer recommended you to use

  • @soullessgirl666 no prob. the shop i went to also recommended tht soap for other piercings and tattoos too so i think its pretty good for about everything. and it hasnt caused my ear any irritation or wen i used it on my tat so i thnk it will be good

  • You are not supposed to use the soap on your ear actually

  • Omg this was so helpful thanks!

  • I've had mine for a month now and it is healing perfect can I change my bar?

  • i got mine done yesterday, and i cleaned it this morning with the same stuff i used when i got my nose done, is that okay to use? and also my bar bell is a lot smaller. Mine bleed a bit yesterday, but it hasn't today that i can see. Besides Dial soap is there any other kind i can use? And for many weeks should i keep cleaning it for?

  • I got my industrial done on Christmas Eve. I am extremely worried it will get infected and i think I'm over reacting but......My barbell is way smaller than yours and each end sits on either side of my ear. I think its swollen still too.

  • okay, i really want you to answer this. i just got my industrial done like two days ago. i just use some of the solution that i have left over from my nose piercing, and some emu oil...is that alright? cause i heard several people say not to jiggle the bar so that it doesn't get irritated. and like i'm not experiencing any pain at all. it seems fine, it just hurts when i accidentally touch it or if my hair gets caught in it. i'm really scared of infections so...am i taking care of it right?

  • i got mine done on Christmas day and i use q tips and acholl but thxs for the tips any way

  • I just got my Industrial pierced, and they said it was okay to use a q-tip when to clean it. Also, when cleaning it; it hurts to jiggle the bar.. so what should i do?

  • I'm on day 5 and mine has bruised because I just realized I've been doing everything wrong. Thanks for the tips! :)

  • CAn i do an industrial piercing with a needle as u would wen u poerce ur ear lobe?

  • can i use epsom salt

  • im on day 5 and i've been using alcohol these past days. My ear hurts basically non stop, and started swelling yesterday. It doesn't hurt when i twist it but it hurts when i push it. I have anti bacterial soap, and i was wondering if i started using that will the my ear still heal correctly???

  • i am on day 3 and i have been using dial soap to clean it and then right after i spray it with H2Ocean. it is still red and hurts to touch it with a qtip when i clean it but it actually doesnt hurt to turn. will this be sufficiant in healing it?

  • Well I just got mine done like three days ago and it only hurts when it went through the top hole and not the bottom. Infact it didn't hurt much at all, it did hurt more than a tongue piercing. I have seven piercings in my other ear including two cartilage and a tragus. It is day three and im telling everyone now, it WILL get swollen and my piercing right now is saturated in blood crustys and it's scary. This piercing is so cool but hurts so much. If you get to my situation then I suggest a sho

  • hello i got the piercing done like three days ago and i havnt had the changes to buy the sea salt so im using hydrongen peroxide solution is it ok to used this in my ear???

  • @13oscar12 ...the soap off then with a clean cotton ball or q tip I dry it :) I would do that about three times a day for the first couple weeks then work ure way down to twice a day until completely healed

  • @13oscar12 i would honestly wait a couple hours. When I got mine I cleaned it when I got home warm water and an anti bacterial soap. I can't use dial because I'm allergic so I just use the Softsoap brand NONSENTED! fragrances can lead to irritation due to the chemicals added to make them smelly lol. I just wash hands really well lather up in clean hands and massage over ear twist bar move up and down to get rid of soap I drench a cotton ball with warm water and lean over a sink to get all...

  • what size gauge did you get it pierced at?

  • ITS ALRIGHT! I NEED THAT INFO! :D i will get that shit xD

  • Hi . Ive had my industrial for about 6 months now .. Everything was going grand but in the last week my ear is literally covered in " krustys " usually its only a small amount but my ear is literally covered when I wake up . The skin has become a little red now .. Ive been using sea salt and warm water to clean it every day ...Can you use too much salt I usually use a good bit and my ear is pretty dry afterwards ..Am i using too much salt do you think .I usually shoer first and then clean it

  • @DesYURRTYURRT --you are only supposed to use 1/4 tsp of salt to 8 oz of waterr

  • @EKBOoossstin

    Cheers . started doing at while back and now all is good

    Thanks for the message =)

  • Hey, your video is super helpful, buuuutt (lol) I'm on technically day 5 and my ear is red, and swollen is there any way I can tone it down and reduce the swelling and redness?

    <3 please help.

  • hey :) so im getting mine pierced tomorrow! so when i get home should i clean it right away? thanks

  • im about to get mine done n i wana kno the pain rate? people said the 2nd 5 the 1st 3? im not really worried or scared of having it done i just wana kno haha

  • HOW ABOUT I COME OVER AND SPUNK ON YOUR MOUTH?

  • But what if I go to a salon to get my hair washed and they like umm scrub to hard and like,scratch my ear ?

  • @HaveAriInBeauty Well, to be honest I would have waited to go to a salon, but since it sounds like you've already been, just be extra vigilant in cleaning it. Be sure not to miss a day. And the sea salt and water should help keep the infection away.

  • @Tarynbeth Thank you it helped very much !!!

  • ok so i wanna get mine but im kind of scared of the infection this is my first piercing and im scared of getting it infected !!!!! i think it looks cool would you recommend it? how many times do you clean it a day ? with the dial soap and sea salt?

  • And what if I use iodized sea salt??

  • for me it really didnt hurt. it took about 3 weeks before i could sleep on that side without pain. but honestly, if your considering to get it done, but your scared of pain, just do it! for me it was very quick and literally painless! :D

  • I remember watching this when I first got my industrial done. Now it's perfectly fine took a LONG while but maybe about hmm 5 months. Ya so much care went into that time I thought after 3 months it'll take a year! But no! I was too excited to finally change the bar and now its super easy too do! I got mine on the left side too :P

  • Awh, well, my pain tolderance isn't very high lol. But, i'm gonna get it done either way. (: Thank you!

  • How bad does it hurt? I'm getting mine the day after Christmas.

  • @audreyCHAOS It really depends on how high of a pain threshold you have. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, and it hurt a bit, but it's pretty quick. I would recommend bringing some ibuprofen with you because that will help with the throbbing afterward, and the swelling.

  • Ahh I like the piercing. I should get mine done to. I found my helix part hurt more and took ages to heel. However saying that, I got a piercing at the top of my ear v close to my head and that healed and didn't hurt! Must be numb like my brain lol

  • why is there a baby on the bed ...

  • @dominick4568 lol that's my daughter's doll.

  • @Tarynbeth oh ! , anyways good video :D

  • wow im so happy i watched this! mines infected and i hope this works!

  • after you do the warm salt water thing are you supposed to rinse that off with non-salt water?

  • I got mine done 4 days ago it doesn't hurt anymore and its not swollen anymore like when I had it done. I use the salt and water and right after I'm done my it starts itchin. Is that normal

  • So I got a industrial piercing like 3 weeks back.. its still sore and still oozes... on the bottom part I have a bump forming on the outside.. how do I get rid of it??? I've been using q-tips and peroxide... HELP!!!!

  • @prettyladymimi dont worry happened 2 me too jus use tea tree oil n the bump will be gone in no time :) stop using the peroxide by the way

  • @prettyladymimi Peroxide isnt really the best thing for 'hypertrophic scars' i had a huge one on the bottom part of mine, i used tea tree and its shrank :)

  • Why use the fingers? They are NOT clean. I use Q-tips and saltwater, and that works AWESOME!!

  • nice video, i have mine for a year now and i had an infection problem like at week 2 of having it done and i got rid of it with alcohol and q-tips.had to soak it on alcohol then put it back in and clean the holes with q-tips. and it worked for me and havent had any problem with it. now i got a new one on my right ear, is a normal piercing,and im using now a 14g, just to know, could i use the same tech. as u did for this one? is not an industrial is just a normal so dont know if might work thanks

  • i cant wait to get mine tomorrow!

  • so i got my industrial done like 3 days ago. and it hurts pretty bad when i touch it and i have only been cleaning it with the sea salt. but even when it isnt in the salt it feels like it is. it has been soar all day without touching it.

  • thanks so much! i got my piercing about 4 days ago on friday and it was a bit irritating and just slightly swollen that i've been icing down (which helped a lot), but the sea soak soothed it so well!

  • I love my industrial to,but rit now its bleeding and puss is comeing out and its realt sore. I have had it 4 12 weeks about now.

  • i have a question do u have to get a big bar first and then the normal bar or can u get the normal bad and just have it like that?

  • tht was a rele wierd story lmfao

    

  • I have a question and was wondering if you(or someone) could help. This is the second time my piercer has given me bactine(like the ointment) to use on my piercings and ive read that it isnt goo to use. I have never used it on my 2 helix piercings and was wondering what your take on it was for mt industrial? Mucho Loves<3

  • wow thanks this realy helped me alot i just got my industrial today

  • Thank you for this!!

  • There's a baby doll in the back ground...

    oh P.S. I like your video.(:

  • so do you clean your piercing with the ''dial soap'' and the sea salt? or just clean with the sea salt?

  • el oh el at the phineas & ferb playing in the background (y)

  • lol i use qtips 2 clean mings

  • So is it better to use sea salt

  • that's a great video! don't be sorry for the talking in the beggining hah :)

  • @629cassi go to a doctor

  • It'll hurt for awhile I've had mine for two weeks. Great video it helped me out. Your bar is really long. Mine is itty bitty. I have little ears lol

  • Ok so I've recently got my industrial like a month ago and like it's rlly infected I tried everything except the sea salt thing... I'm Gonna try it tomorrow and if that doesn't work what should I do?

  • i got my intustrial done wednesday and its saturday now, i have no problems but the bottom whole is a bit swollen and my ear isnt sore only ant the bottom whole is that norm? oh & ps your video is great!

  • Those who think they have an infection. 1. Do not take out the bar it will help drain the pus. 2.Go to a doc. 3. Make sure they swab the pus and send it to a lab to identify the bacteria. I got my industrial early July followed all the procedures and still got an infection. 1st doc never swabbed it and i got the wrong antibiotic and prednisone(immunosuppressant/a­nti inflammatory) and made the infection worse. Week later went to another doc. He swabbed it and got me on the right anti-biotic.

  • is it normal for it to itch after cleaning,

  • how long is it supposed to hurt ? xD i got mine done 4 or 5 days ago , and it still hurts :\\

  • @xxkissmyoopsxx A good while, let me tell you!

  • i've used rubbing alcohol for all my ear piercings and it worked out fine.... but i just got the industrial piercing yesterday.... and there's no way i'm going to use rubbing alcohol. so i'll try the sea salt and hope it heals correctly :] thanks!

  • This helped alot thanks :)

  • Can you do the same for a lip piercing?

  • Will u upload whats in my purse video please? And i luv it!! It looks way cool on u!!

  • When can I change my industrial to a different one?

  • Do you have any tips for getting rid of keloids? I have small keloids on my industrial, but I want to get rid of them as quickly as possible.

  • @CasyCatastrophe I got told that to get rid of them, crush up tablet, something like paracetamol or aspirin, so it's a powder then add a bit of water to make a paste then put it on for a bit and just do that.

  • @Dropmytrousers That is interesting. But I will try that. Thank you :)

  • @CasyCatastrophe Tea Tree Oil helps it very much

  • @CasyCatastrophe applying teat tree oil on the keloids after cleaning them helps them out... I had both my industrials done and the samething happened to me and the tea tree oil helped very much!

  • THANXS THIS ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS.

  • i think your soooooooooo pretty. ummmm but this was very informational

  • this was acutally very helpful. i dont have one, but i'm thinking about it but before i do i wanna get my research done & this was all it, lol. i just have some questions, how long are you supposed to be doing this process?, how do you know for sure all the soap is out?, & are you supposed to rinse out the salt or is it better to not rinse for healing? i know its a lot, but i need to be sure, lol :)

  • This helped tons! And i agree i love my industrial sooo much! But mine is forming keloids (or however its spelled). Skin is trying to grow around the inner parts of where its pierced and im not sure how to get rid of it.

  • mine only told me to use polysporn :/

  • This helped me a lot! :D

  • wld dial soap help my gauge peircinng cuz its been bledding a lil and i look at my ear gauge peircing and it has little blood crums on it. can u please give me some advise to keep my gauge peircings clean

  • thanks so much :)

  • hey i was wondering since today i got my industrial ,, like how long should i leave it on before its okay to take it off and switch the bar or just to take it off for a while

  • @MrDawkid12 about a month or two it depends how healed it is

  • I wanna get one but it seems like it hurts alot n kind of scared to get it.

  • I think your vid is Awesome!! thanks for the help. i got my Industrial piercing in feb 16 and today's the date that it wont stop having problems... I got a little bump that don't mind to be growing there... I was desperate because I've tried everything to cut it out of there, but it still there and it hurts even it is little... so now thanks to you I can handle my bump problem! Thank you and sorry for my english, is not my first language, is spanish. =D

  • Phineas and Ferb is on in this backgroud hahaha

  • they gave me a really short bar for my ear and now i have a keloid at the top of my ear; should i go back and get another one? but its been about 4 months since i got it.

  • Soooooo, should I soak my industrial every day? Because I just got it pierced today

  • im getting mine tommorrow but ive herd that your suppose 2 twist is that okay?? :/

  • I Am On Day 6 Right Now With Mine And I Have Been Using Your Tip And Everything Is Going Good. Thank You So Muchh (:

  • Comment removed

  • thank you mine finally stopped hurting about 2 weeks ago but now i have hypertrophic scaring (the little bumps that randomly pop up) n i don't know how to get rid of them

  • That's way too much salt you only need like a quarter a tea spoon for a cup

  • I got my industrial piercing around the same time as you. I got mine March 1st, 2011. Have you gotten any hypertrophic scarring yet? If so, what have you done? & Have you changed your bar yet?

  • thank you so much for this <3 i just got mine done and i was told to use q-tips and dab it with dial soap 0_0but the way you explained all that defiantly saved me from a lot of painfully done cleaning and swelling and possibly infection. =D

  • Do you think it's sufficient to put the sea salt into a spray bottle and spray your piercing with it? I do that and then follow it up with applying the foaming dial soap to my piercing with cotton swabs. and then I spray the sea salt solution on it to rinse off the soap. Sound good?

  • I'm going on day four and mine is really sore & red. Think it's the SoftSoap?

  • Hey. Quick question. Ok getting industrial piercing and nose piercing. I wanted to know if I could just use dail soap and sea salt instead of that ocean spray?

  • I watched this video before i got it done and i must say it helped me a lot! My third day with it and its not even sore anymore, it only bled when i got it done, other than that it looks amazing! Thank you!!!

  • This is so helpful! Thanks. I'm getting mine done next week and so I've been looking for after ate videos. I just have a few questions though:

    When you did the salt water rinse do you leave your eat in it and just take breaks to jiggle the bar or do you kinda keep dunking it?

    Also, do you rotate the bar or just jiggle it in your ear?

    Thanks so much! :)

  • is it ok to use alcohol and a&d otment beause the person who did mine told me to use that but am not sure its not bleeding but it hurts alot please get back to me thank you

  • Your video is awesome i been picking the crust off my ear when it forms now i know that's a no no. i just got my industrial 2 weeks ago and it hurts really bad is this normal or should the pain hav dialed down some since i got it?

  • @wildcherryd4l02 No, the pain lasted pretty long for me. Just do your very best to clean it once or twice a day, and also try really hard not to sleep on it. The more you refrain from touching it and sleeping on it, the better it will heal and stop hurting. :)

  • ur video was very helpful..i have a little bump at the bottom and ive been having mine since august 16,2010 almost a year now people keep telling me that infected...sumtines it hurts but idk..cuz i dont want to take it off because i love it so much..lol but im going to do the salt thing and hopefully it works anf if doesnt i guess im going to take it off..

  • I got an industrial done and it got a keloid. I really want to get it re done, but I hope it does not get infected again for a second time.

  • THANKYOU SOOOO MUCH!!

    i just got one like, two days ago, and i wasnt informed how to actually clean it, i was just given salt and a little sqirty container. and i went back and yeah, no help >_<

    so i youtubed it and found you!

    thanks sooooo much

    <3 :)

  • @s0h0a0z Oh, you're welcome hun! Thanks for the kind words! :)

  • @Tarynbeth umm i have a question for likee if you play sports likee i play basketball & i sweat aroundd the edges of my hair can the sweat cause any problems with the piercing ?

  • @s0h0a0z Dial soap is good but something so much better is h2Ocean

  • @s0h0a0z Dial soap is good but something so much better is h2Ocean and dont use your hands lol

  • @LILYcrown2 we dont have dial soap in Australia O.o

    i donno if we have h20clean... doubtful >_>

    my peircings really good though XD hasnt gotten infected or anything :D... yet

  • You'd make a really good youtube guru! You're so personable. I love it!

  • @BBlivefeeds Thank you so much <3

  • Why can't you use Q-tips? I was just curious. Thanks :D!

  • @WitchRain Little pieces of cotton can come off and get stuck in the hole. That can cause a bad reaction and in some cases can cause you to have to remove the piercing. Yikes!

  • that god i just had dis done for 3weeks now an it hurts like hell

  • I really really want one , but am scared senseless. Had a navel ring that I think I screwed up cleaning in the healing process and my body started to reject it. Really liked it, had to take that out, never got the chance to change it out :(. So naturally I'm scared to get anything else. And my job requires a cap , i can imagine bumping it with the cap yikes.

  • got my industrial about a week or so ago. i didn't know i wasn't supposed to use a q-tip tho x__x bad news tho.. the bar is literally resting on the inner part of my ear and now there's a split and there's no way it can heal cuz i can't take out the bar :( any suggestions out there ??

  • @jandii876 I'm not really sure how to even visualize what you're saying. Honestly though, the first thing I would do is go back to your piercer. They're supposed to help you with after care, and they can probably let you know what your best plan of action would be.

  • I'm wanting to get an industrial, so should I do the saltwater thing from day one? :)

  • I got mine done about 19 days ago, & it's still pretty swollen. The top part of the piercing on top of my ear has a bump that has gross puss that comes out of it, &it does the same right underneath that part of my ear. I've been cleaning it with Sea Salt Water all the time, & it wasn't this bad until recently. I even put Ice on it to stop the swelling, along with some Tylenol. I don't want to take it out, 'cause I really like it. Help me please!? D:
