2 1/2 year old's ear piercings are red?
So my 2 1/2 year old wanted her ears pierced so i took her on monday of this week to get them done. they are now a little red, it doesn't hurt for me to turn them or touch them they aren't hot or anything. i clean them twice a day if not 3 times a day. they don't seem to bother her, but i don't know if they are infected or are they just healing ? she lets me clean then no problem it doesn't hurt to turn them so i'm unsure if i should take them out or if i should leave them in? i had my now 7 month olds done at 3 1/2 months and i don't think hers did this but i do remember them being red some times for no reason and hers healed fine? what do you think this is?
so i just looked at her ears and the one that is red the most it's weird because it's red on the front of the ear not on the back?

Maybe the start of an infection. You should never allow piercings with a gun for anyone especially small infants with almost no immune system because not all of the parts can be sterilized, which means tiny bits of blood, flesh, and germs that may carry HIV, hepatitis, etc, are sprayed into the brand new wound the gun just created, and on top of that, they use a blunt post earring instead of a sharp hollow needle and push it through instead of removing the tissue, leading to more pain and tissue damage which can cause scarring, keloids, and other unpleasant problems. Try cleaning them only 2 times a day because excess cleaning can cause irritation too and if they don't get better see a doctor.
EDIT- maybe she is allergic to the earring material.

With the hourglass parent factor, ultimate wager is to get a corset to tighten up each night. i'm uncertain with regard to the wellbeing hazards, yet on the grounds which you have hit puberty it is going to no longer be too severe. only be cautious with the ribbons. additionally, evaluate going to a gymnasium on a daily basis to perform a little chest routines because of the fact the female chest muscle tissue are under our boobs so placed 2 and 2 at the same time. comparable with the thighs. in case you tone them up and lead them to much less assailable, it will help. parent-sensible, understanding will help too. additionally, finding older does not neccessitate pink hair so according to possibility somewhat brunette-ness will help. good luck!

My ears did the same thing. Found out it was cuz I'm allergic to metal... Even the hypoallergenic kind which is ironic. The only thing I can wear is plastic earrings.

It's possible her skin is reacting to some agent in the earring, or a possible infection..in any case, you should get her looked at.
