Always wash hands thoroughly before touching studs or ear.
Cleanse front and back of the ear 2 times a day with STUDEX® Ear Care Lotion or Gel without removing studs.
Apply lotion or gel to the front and back of the stud and gently slide forward and back. Repeat twice daily.

EAR LOBE
Leave studs on ears for 6 weeks continuously.
After 6 weeks, the stud can be removed and other post-type earrings may be worn continuously.
Use only post style earrings continuously for the first 6 months after piercing. The post should be surgical stainless steel or other hypoallergenic material.
FOR BEST RESULTS WE RECOMEND STUDEX HYPOALLERGENIC LINE OF FASHION EARRINGS.
Minor pain/redness may occur immediately after piercing – this is normal. This will settle within 48 hours provided proper after care is followed. If undue pain/swelling/redness occurs, consult your doctor IMMEDIATELY. If infection has set in, do not remove the ear piercing stud until you have consulted your doctor.
EAR CARTILAGE
Leave studs in ears for 12 weeks continuously.
Use only post style earrings continuously for the first 12 months after piercing. The post should be surgical stainless steel or other hypoallergenic material.
Due to the nature of ear cartilage, extra care should be taken during the healing period. Minor pain/redness may occur immediately – this is normal. This will settle within 48 hours provided proper after care is followed. If undue pain/swelling/redness occurs, consult your doctor IMMEDIATELY. If infection has set in, do not remove the ear piercing stud until you have consulted your doctor.
The pierced area should be CLEANSEDwith STUDEX® Ear Care Lotion or Gel then kept DRY, especially after swimming or exercise.
DO NOT remove the studs from ear during ear care procedure.
