To piercing are pierced ears, tongue, navel, brow, even intimate parts of the body. As a rule, young people are interested in this kind of work, they want to be unique. When the piercing is annoying, the earring can be easily removed and the puncture site will soon overgrow. But in any case, a small scar remains. Therefore, before deciding, it is necessary to think carefully.
What is the most common prick?
The most popular place for puncturing is the ear lobes. With the help of piercing in the ears, the girls not only emphasize their individuality, but also the style, thanks to the variety of earrings. In the second place is the navel. When a girl is a beautiful figure, why not emphasize it that way. By the same ikkuratnenkaya earring in the navel will look good under the trousers with low-key and with an over-inflated T-shirt. Less often pierce an eyebrow and tongue. However, the excesses are decided to make piercings on intimate parts of the body.
According to the Agency for Health Protection, complications occur most rarely after a puncture of the ears (only in 10% of cases), slightly more than anterior to the umbilicus (15%). But most often complications arise after piercing the language. The thing is that in this place the puncture does not heal well because of the constant influence of the tongue, drooling, food and so on.
Vulnerable place
For many centuries people have been piercing themselves. Most of the problems that occur after a puncture can be easily avoided. The main thing to adhere to all precautions and observe hygiene in the field of piercing.
Some doctors of medical science consider piercing not to be equally difficult and safe. They argue this by the fact that any puncture breaks the integrity of the skin - this makes a person vulnerable to various diseases. For example, before infections that can be transmitted through the needle (tetanus, hepatitis, cutaneous tuberculosis and others). Although this risk is minimal today, thanks to one-time tools. Also, there is a risk of profuse bleeding as a result of getting a needle into a blood vessel. This happens when the master is inexperienced and does not know the anatomy of the body.
If you get tired of piercing, you can remove the earring and the area will grow over. But a keloid scar can form, from which it is not so easy to get rid of. It causes discomfort: soreness, itching, swelling. Sometimes, for its removal, only an injection of cortisol, sometimes surgical intervention, is required. But there is no guarantee that he will not appear again.
Allergic reaction
Sometimes after a puncture, an allergic reaction occurs on the metal, from which the earring is made. Many are sure that gold jewelry is suitable for everyone without exception and they can not have an allergy. This opinion is faulty. A few are still allergic to gold there. In this case for piercing it is worth choosing an ornament from another metal.
The safety of the jewelry directly depends on its composition. In many decorations, an alloy of nickel is added, which, in contact with the skin, causes an allergic reaction. The higher the content, the greater the likelihood of skin irritation.
How to choose the right piercing jewelry?
To properly choose the desired decoration, you need to know the properties of the metal from which it is made, as well as about possible reactions in interaction with the skin.
Gold: The higher the sample, the less gold in the adornment of impurities, incl. and nickel. But such a decoration is more fragile, soft and prone to cracks. In low samples, nickel is larger. This makes the decoration durable, and also increases the likelihood of an allergy occurrence. To avoid allergies, it is recommended to wear ornaments from gold with a low sample only after full wound healing.
Silver: Silver is a pretty soft metal that scratches and can crack. Interacting with the body silver is oxidized. This metal fits all and can provoke an allergy.
Stainless surgical steel: Due to the fact that it is melted in vacuum, it is maximally hypoallergenic. An allergic reaction to it can occur only if it has a high sensitivity to metals.
Niobium: A modern material that is often used for piercing. It is recommended to use immediately after the puncture. The price of niobium is low, and the quality is good. Even with prolonged wearing, this metal does not cause allergies.
Titanium: Perhaps the most expensive, but at the same time the safest and highest quality metal. It is suitable for all types of piercing and almost never causes allergies. It is recommended to take it during the healing period of the puncture site.
