    The key to preventing infection in our body is to maintain good hygiene. By following daily healthy personal hygiene habits, one reduces the risk of infection in the body.

    Similarly, one needs to clean the earring holes regularly to avoid the spread of any kind of infection.

    No matter if you have a freshly pierced earhole or an old one both require cleaning regularly and mindfully.

    Newly pierced holes are more prone to get an abscess, embedded earrings, or Keloid scarring. On the other hand, old earring holes mostly smell putrid with itching surrounding the holes and may lead to redness of the skin too.

    8. Change the swab again and start with the another side of ear, clean the front side by pulling the earpin a little.
    9. Again take a new swab and repeat the process at the back side of ear while make sure to clean thoroughly and gently.
    10. Dab dry both sides of ears one by one with a clean tissue paper. Do not rub or wipe, just dab gentaly.
