Piercings

Lobe piercings (including seconds/thirds) take six weeks to heal and the pain lasts mere minutes.

It takes 6 weeks!? Wow that’s a really long time.
Do you have to like clean it? Do you have to worry about infections usually?

I sprayed mine with saline solution twice a day, avoided getting it wet, didn't touch it at all (except with a damp cotton bud to remove any dried blood and plasma), and didn't let my hair touch it. Infections are very easy to avoid. This is how I've treated all my piercings (I've 20+) and my only issues have been caused by irritation rather than infection.

thank you
So how does one shower without getting ears wet?
Also does it hurt to remove the earring whilst healing to clean it?
sorry I have so many questions hehe it’s just that the internet isn’t very specific on these kind of things.

When I have a new ear piercing I typically wash my hair using a cup either in the bath or over the sink instead.

You don't remove the earring at all during the healing process. You clean around it. That's why I use saline solution in a spray bottle - it involves not touching at all! The less you touch it the more easily it'll heal.
