AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! i had to tape my rook for 3 days for vball because the reffs called it a "foreign object". now it just kills when i twitch my ear.. and i dont have any epson salt stuff left. AAAAAAAAAHHHH its goin all red...aaaaaaaaaahhh.

but if you can soak in epson sald water.. just run it underwater for a bit and move the earing around.. it should help a wee bit :)

Yeah, taping up a piercing while you sweat is a bad idea because it creates the ideal environment for bacteria to breed in.

just stating the obvious here though

[bebu*funfun]

grrz i hafta tape it up all this weekend too... and play BASKETBALL. its gonna hurt.

Epsom salts, hunny.

Soak it in water as hot as you can stand with a few tablespoons of epsom salts dissolved in them for 15 minutes every day while it's irritated.

you can get them for like 2 bucks at safeway

Listen to Myra..... for once she actually knows what she's talking about. (Kidding of course Myra! :PartEkid: )

I've got my ears, labret, eyebrow, and nipple done and for my work (security guard) I have to take out all the facial ones. Taking them in and out 4 or 5 times a week is just as bad as taping them up. The key to a healthy piering is cleanliness and really nothing more.

Epsom salts help to kill the bacteria that builds when you sweat and they also help soothe the irritation.

Good luck hun..... sore piercings are definitely no fun.
