Eyebrow Piercing Risks

Eyebrow piercing is a bold fashion statement and one that is considered more extreme than nose piercing. An eyebrow piercing could be anywhere along the eyebrow. It is more commonly towards the end of the brow, but is even done directly above the eye.

Eyebrow Piercing Risks dos and don’ts

# You can suffer bacterial infections if the equipment used is not thoroughly sterilized. The piercing area is an entry point for the bacteria. Painful inflammation, fever and increased discharge are some of the symptoms of bacterial infection.
# Not all the metals typically used for eyebrow piercings suit a person. You may realize that you are allergic to certain metals only during or after piercing. You may also need to be hospitalized if the inflammation, coupled with breathing problems, lasts for a long time.
# You may find the piercing migrating, i.e., the jewelry can move away from its actual position, towards the surface of the skin. Sometimes it can completely cut through the skin. The angle at which the eyebrow is pierced also affects the migration
# Always wash your hands with soap prior touching the eyebrow ring or piercing.
# Take vitamin C to help fight off infection and to advance healing.
# Apply a disinfectant virtually on both ends of the ring.
# The eyebrow piercing needs to be sanitized twice daily, usually morning and night.
# DO leave the ring or barbell in place for at least 6 months so that the piercing does not close up.
# Do NOT let anyone else touch the ring or barbell for any reason. You have enough germs and bacteria; you don’t need anyone else adding to it.
# Do NOT sleep with your face down. You could snag the ring, and your pillow is filled with bacteria.
