There is not much else there  which also means that the chances of an ear specific risk associated  with the piercing is slim to none. As far as the standard risks that are associated with virtually any  piercing, there is and always will be the chance of an allergic  reaction. This possibility of an allergic reaction comes in two fold,  the first part has to do with the chemicals used to clean the jewelry as  well as the piercing while the second part has to do specifically with  the jewelry. It is completely possible to have an allergic reaction to  the cleaning chemicals and solutions that you will be using to help keep  the jewelry and the piercing clean. This will always be a risk no  matter how you look at it. As far as the possibility of an allergic  reaction to the jewelry itself goes, it is important to remember that if  you are allergic to gold, then do not choose a solid gold or gold  plated jewelry. Furthermore, many people are allergic to nickel yet a  lot of the cheaper jewelry is made from it. Make sure that the jewelry  you choose is made from stainless steel as it is always the safest  choice.<img src="http://ear-piercings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ear-piercing-infection.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.drsherris.com/images/doc-images/Management-of-scar-contractures_clip_image012.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After having an ear pierced, do not go swimming for a month or so.  This is very important and it does not matter if it is a swimming pool  or a natural water body, they both can cause issues. The swimming pool  uses chlorine to keep it free of bacteria but it is the chlorine that  can cause an issue. The chlorine can dry out the skin surrounding the  piercing making it weak and susceptible to the jewelry being torn out.  The natural bodies of water, regardless of whether it is fresh or salt  water, have protozoa in it, these little critters can get in the open  wound and cause a nasty little infection. As ling as there is still a  raw wound regardless if it is not visible, these little guys will find  it and call it home and no one wants this. Like with any trauma to the body there is the chance of scar tissue  forming in excessive amounts. Furthermore, the blunt trauma caused by a  piercing can cause a keloid. A keloid is basically a really bad scar  that is located deep under many layers of skin. Furthermore these  keloids do not always for right at the piercing point, but they can  occur as much as a couple millimeters from the actual point. Last but most definitely not least, you need to make sure that the  piercing technician is using sanitized equipment to perform the piercing  or at least using disposable equipment to perform it. The reason for  this is very simple. There are way too any viral infection that you can  get from unsanitary equipment. You would not want a surgeon to use the  same scalpel that he used on the previous patient so why would you be ok  with the same needles. There is no way of knowing if the person before  you had a viral infection like hepatitis B or C or worse, even HIV. Last  thing anyone wants is to go in for a piercing and leave with a viral  infection so make sure that every thing is clean before it gets used on  you.<img src="http://ear-piercings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/different-ear-piercings.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
