EXCLUSIVENurse 警告するs against getting piercings at the 商店街- after teen's ear is EATEN by gruesome bacterial 感染

• e-mail

Nurses are sounding the alarm about the dangerous 危険s of dirty 団体／死体 piercings after a healthy teen had to を受ける reconstructive 外科 because of a 厳しい 複雑化 in her pierced ear.?

外科医s in New Jersey?were 軍隊d to 削減（する） and drain a pus-filled 負傷させる that had developed on a 17-year-old's ear cartilage after she became 抵抗力のある to 抗生物質s doctors had 最初 given her to fight the 感染.?

The 複雑化 occurred 概略で three weeks after she got her piercing, which was 成し遂げるd by an 従業員 at a shopping 商店街 with a piercing gun.

When she finally went to the hospital, the 感染?had already eaten away a 部分 of the cartilage in her upper ear.?

Sarah Lacy, a 登録（する）d nurse and the Associate Director of Piercing 研究 and 革新 at ear piercing 会社／堅い Rowan, told DailyMail.com she sees 複雑化s like this often - and it is usually because of mistakes made by the piercer.

She said: 'There are a lot of things that can go wrong, you know without proper care... You can 結局最後にはーなる with anything from a minor 感染 to something as 激しい as a 抱擁する, 抱擁する, 抱擁する cartilage-type 感染.'

And in serious 事例／患者s, this can lead to the operating （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する.??

複雑化s are more ありふれた when someone has been pierced with an earring gun than when someone has been pierced with a hollow needle

Ms Lacy says these problems can be easily 避けるd with 警戒s that too few piercers take - and 貧しく-trained assistants at chain 宝石類 蓄える／店s are often to 非難する.

But some of the poor 結果s are 使用者 error.

ありふれた mistakes people with earrings make are not きれいにする them often enough, wearing one that is too short and 圧力（をかける）ing the 支援する of it too closely to the ear, which can 原因（となる） irritation and embedding.?

Embedding happens when an 感染 原因（となる）s the tissue around the earring to swell and 'swallow' it into the ear.

In the ビデオ, Hannah shows her visit to the 緊急 room, where doctors numbed her tissue to 抽出する the earring from inside her ear.

This is the ありふれた course of 活動／戦闘 for an embedded earring, Ms Lacy said.?

Doctors usually use forceps to pull the earring out or make a tiny incision to 除去する it.

Another 犯人 for earring 事故s is using the wrong piercing technique - more earrings placed by piercing 'guns' get 感染させるd than those that get placed with a hollow piercing needle, Ms Lacy said.?

The Rutgers doctors?who operated on the 17 year-old with the cartilage 感染 公式文書，認めるd that 'cartilage, if pierced at all, should be 侵入するd with sharp, hollow needles, which will 核心 out the cartilage,' not with a gun.?

Using a gun can 原因（となる） the cartilage to '割れ目' and create bleeding that will lead to later 複雑化s, they wrote.

Some guns are also reusable- which means the sa me needle can be used on many people 多重の times a day.?

This, によれば the?協会 of Professional Piercers, 'put[s] （弁護士の）依頼人s in direct 接触する with the 血 and 団体／死体 fluids of previous （弁護士の）依頼人s', which is incredibly unsanitary.?

People at chain piercing salons or 商店街s are often trained to use a gun quickly, and may be too young to really understand the importance of sterile technique.?

Ms Lacy told this website she frequently sees 患者s who come to her after a botched 商店街 piercing.?

Not everyone with a piercing will experience serious 複雑化s, but minor 感染s are ありふれた if you wear the wrong 肉親，親類d of earrings or don't care for your new piercing 正確に, Ms Lacy said.?

She advises not sleeping on your new piercing, 強調する／ストレスd the importance of きれいにする the area 定期的に to help 避ける 感染 and 警告するd against using earrings with nickel in them.

Most people who use nickel earrings 結局 develop a nickel アレルギー, Ms Lacy said, which can lead to ear irritation and 感染.

But, if にもかかわらず your best laid 計画（する）s, your ear gets hot, red or swollen, or you notice 発射する／解雇する coming out of it, you might have an 感染.??

If caught 早期に, minor 感染s are 比較して 平易な to 扱う／治療する.?

Using a warm compress and a きれいにする 解答, which you can buy at most piercing salons, should be enough to 扱う／治療する them.

But if you don't 演説（する）／住所 it 早期に, the 感染 can 進歩 and may 要求する a visit to the doctor.?

Ms Lacy told this website one of her 患者s （機の）カム to her after getting a piercing at a tattoo shop.?

The pierced area was a big 泡 of white pus.?

'It was so bad, I felt horrible for this person. So that was somebody where we were able to say, "hey, you need to go get this looked at 権利 now,"' she said.?

In the worst 事例／患者s, earring 感染s can turn into perichondritis, Ms Lacy said.

This is an 感染 of the ear cartilage that typically has to be 扱う／治療するd in the hospital by getting an 抗生物質 infusion.

いつかs it can become extreme enough that people need reconstructive 外科, like the 17-year-old girl who was taken for plastic 外科 at Rutgers.?

Luckily, within 24 hours of 存在 seen, she began 改善するing, and her ear was saved.

Piercings are incredibly 安全な when they're done in a sterile 環境 and taken care of 適切に, Ms Lacy said.?

As long as you do 研究 beforehand about the piercing studio and make sure you're 用意が出来ている to take care of it afterward, you should be okay, she 追加するd.

In her experience, getting a new piercing can be a fun, celebratory event. As someone who has gotten piercings before, she takes special pride in getting to be the piercer now.?

Ms Lacy told DailyMail.com: 'It's such a 特権 to get to do this. It's a fun service too. And we're just, we're so happy that we get to do it.'
