Is it normal to still have redness around a new piercing on the ear one and a half weeks later?

Yes, it is normal to have some redness around a new ear piercing even after 1 and a half weeks. However, if the redness is accompanied by other signs of infection such as warmth, pain, discharge, or a foul odor, it may be a cause for concern. It is important to continue cleaning the area with water and soap for the next 2-3 weeks. If you are unsure, you can consult with a pharmacist to see if they can recommend an antibiotic cream to prevent infection.
