Clean your piercing regularly for the first few weeks. Cleaning your piercing on a regular basis will help stimulate healing and prevent an infection. As a result, you should use a saline solution on your ears every day, and clean your piercing with soap as needed (once a day at most) for the 4-6 week healing period.
Boils are the most common and easiest to treat. Sea-salt soaks should be done daily on any healing piercing. Mix 1/8 teaspoon sea salt with warm water and soak the piercing for 5 to 15 minutes a day. This helps treat and prevent bumps by drawing pus and foreign particles out of the wound.
