Note: To date (July 2008) I've had only 4 customers of 500 who claim they have not been able to heal with Niobium or Pure grade-1 Titanium. Two have developed Chronic Eczema (can not heal with or without earrings in place), and Two of them just couldn't give up treating their Allergic Contact Dermatitis/Exzema, with traditional, irritating chemicals!

I make my earrings to order for you, so please be sure that you are willing to give up harsh chemicals (at least for a trial period) before I spend my time or money trying to help you. This is simply because I offer a full guarantee of your purchase price if you cannot heal with my earrings. I may not have the ONLY successful process to heal pierced ears, but the process I have IS SUCCESSFUL!

Although traditional means of healing pierced ears involve preventing infection by using products such as rubbing alchohol, peroxides, and other anticeptic cleaners, these products have been found to aggrivate Allergic Contact Dermatitis/Eczema (which is what we have, NOT infection)! Although the rash we experience does feel and look like an infection, if you are not running a fever it most likely is not infection. If you are running a fever, do visit your doctor for treatment. But don't use any products on your sensitive ears eccept those I define below.

If you give my process a full and fair chance, I will show you that this really does work! If you can wear earrings at all, you can wear mine!


Care for your earrings:
Care for your new earrings as you would your face. Fresh water to clean then pat dry with a soft cloth. Never use harsh chemicals or detergents to clean your ears or earrings, as this could damage any stones or the epoxy in your earrings, and more importantly, can cause undue irritation to your sensitive skin.


If you need to be re-pierced first, please see the help section at the bottom of the page.


How to wear earrings again for the first time.
When you receive your new earrings, rinse and then dry them well, then do the same for your ears. Place the starter and sleeper earrings in the piercings and leave them there for the healing period, day and night. Do not remove your earrings until your piercings are fully healed.

Follow the process below to the letter. You don't want to add anything to this process that is not listed here, as there are allergy causing products in everything else from soap, to tissues!

Cleaning during the healing process.
Once or Twice a day, for the first week, clean your ears with the earrings in place, gently with warm sea salt water. (I provide Sea Salt for you with your first order) Here is how to make it:
Fill a coffee mug or other microwave safe container, with fresh clean water. Add a 1/4 to a 1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt. Microwave for about 45 seconds until luke warm (not hot) to disolve the salts.

Dip a fresh clean soft cotton cloth into the water, and hold the dripping cloth onto the front and back of the piercing until the water has cooled. Move the earring around a bit to reach as much of the earring, and piercing as possible. Repeat the process until you have "soaked" for several minutes with the warm Salt Water. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER CLEANING PRODUCTS, as other products contain agents that those of us with allergies are prone to react to.

(NOTE: Sea Salt Water is very soothing to the skin and relieves itching on skin anywhere. If a mug and a soak is not convienient for you, you can put the sea salt water into a spray bottle, and use this option for "soaking" instead. This works great to take to work and school.)

Then pat dry with a fresh clean soft cotton cloth. Put emphesis on drying, gently, but very well, as this is key. Move the earring around a bit again, to dry as much as you can reach. If your piercings get wet additionally, from washing your hair etc., be sure to dry them well. Don't let them air dry, as this process dries out the skin and can cause itching and infection.

Next, lubricate the ear/earring at the piercing with Vasaline, or Vitamin A&D Ointment. (I provide an A&D Ointment sample packet with your first order) Just a tiny dab on the front and the back is all you need. With the sole exception of Coconut Oil, DO NOT USE ANY OTHER MOISTURIZER FOR THIS PROCESS, as other products contain agents that those of us with allergies are prone to react to. (see my ACD research page for more information).


Additional help:
During the first day or so of healing, you may experience some itching or soreness. It could get pretty intense at first. You can use the sea salt treatment at any time you feel itchy or sore as it soothes and stops itchy skin. I promise by the third day the irritating feeling will subside. If it does not, just tell me and we will trade the element you bought for the other element, and see if that works better for you. By the second week, you can clean once or twice a week.

Sleep with your sleeper earrings in during the healing process. You might need to adjust your pillow or the placement of your head so that earrings do not get caught up on fabric pillowcases, and to try to avoid laying directly on your ears while they are trying to heal.

You can consider your piercings healed when all tenderness has gone, and you don't even feel your earrings in place any longer. At this point you can remove your earrings to clean them. Close the drain in the sink (so the earrings don't accidentally slide down). Fill a small cup half way with fresh water, and place your earrings in. Swish the water around a moment, and remove earrings to a clean towel. (It is not recommended to soak your earrings for a long time as this could loosen any epoxy).

Dry them off as well as possible. Gently wash your ears with fresh water too & pat dry with a soft clean towel. Place the earrings back into the piercings. Do this at least once a week. If there is any tenderness or discomfort at all while taking out or putting in your earrings, they are not yet healed, so go back to the above care.

Once your piercings have healed, and you have worn Niobium or Titanium for at least a week, you should not experience any of the following symptoms: Burning, intense itching, swelling, seeping, pussing, rash, bleeding, dry flaky or crusty piercings. If any of these symptoms occur, trade in your healing earrings for the other element. Most people can wear both C.P. Grade-1 Titanium and Pure Niobium, however some people require one or the other. I have a 100% guarantee on my starter and sleeper earrings, so take advantage of it and lets find what works best for you.


If you need to be re-pierced first:
I recommend that you call around to your local piercing parlors, to see who will pierce you and then place my starter and sleeper earrings in for you.

Caution: Many piercing parlors carry Surgical Steel and Surgical Implant Grade Titanium (alloyed) earrings, and will want you to use their earrings instead of mine, but I do not recommend any alloys for healing, for those of us with alloy allergies. Once your piercings have healed, you will probably not have any problems wearing S.I.G. Titanium, but for healing purposes, I do recommend Pure Grade-1 through 4 Titanium, or Niobium.

In my opinion, a piercing parlor is the most desireable place for piercings, because they employ piercing professionals who operate under the health guidelines of the Association of Professional Piercers. Piercing is the point rather than selling earrings. Also, they hand pierce your ears which will give you a straight and level piercing unlike a piercing gun can. This not only aids in healing, but looks best as earrings do not hang crooked or unevenly. To me, this is preferable over the sales clerk at the jewelry stand in the mall.

Your piercer will give you care instructions for healing, and will usually be more than happy to provide follow up care if needed. And I am here to help you through the entire healing process as well. Just email or call me, and chances are I have a solution to any difficulty you may come up against, that has worked for me, or others.

Thank you.
I am so happy that you can Wear Earrings Again!
