EARRINGS FOR SENSITIVE EARS

What people with sensitive ears should look for in earrings?

If you are looking to buy earring for sensitive skin, consider the below;

Budget

Most earrings for sensitive skin are costly. The charges can begin from $10, depending on the type needed. Hypoallergenic types, including gold and platinum are quality and expensive.

Metal type

If you have sensitive skin, alloys- mixed chemical elements that create metals, can trigger allergies. They may include a combination of copper, cobalt, and nickel, which are famous for stimulating immune response possibly causing itching or irritation. I highly recommend buying hypoallergenic earrings made of pure metals like gold, titanium, or platinum to save your ears from delayed healing.

What they should stay away from?

Avoid alloys and cheap earrings.

What irritation/an infection looks like, and anything else relevant for this type of story.

An ear’s piercing may visibly become bumpy, red, or dry. It may come with itchiness or a burning sensation, a few hours after contact with the skin.
