Goal: Applying Vaseline to earrings will relieve sensitive ears.
Do your piercings hurt a little? Vaseline is beneficial. Vaseline can be helpful if the skin around your ears is sensitive. Simply apply some Vaseline to the backs of the earrings before inserting them as usual. The ears will be protected from irritation by coating the earring with jelly.
Vaseline can alleviate piercing pain, according to Adobe/Sasha Prutchard.
Naturally, things are different if you have a piercing-related illness. If your piercing is red, hurting, swollen, itchy, painful, or dripping pus, you should visit the doctor. Particularly with new piercings, things can get problematic. You don’t want to use Vaseline to “treat” an infection on your own.
