What are some ways to reduce swelling with new industrial ear piercings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always clean with: hydrogen peroxide, and then place a little topcial antibiotic ointment, and turn the pierce in a circular motion. If the swelling doesn't reduce, see your dermatologist to determine any infection.
