I got acupuncture in my ears week and a half ago. When do I take the pin things out? I still have them taped into my ears! Unfortunately I wasnt told as it was a rush decision! Help - what do I now? Do I take the tape off and haul them out?

I have had acupuncture several times.
From past experience I can tell you that you should leave the pins in for 48 hours, after that you can remove them.
yes remove tape and carefully remove pins.

Are you sure it was acupuncture? Or did you go for ear stapling or something else? Did you go to a licensed, certified acupuncturist? I don't think anyone certified or legitimate would just leave needles in you like that. Seems fishy to me...

I hope this is a joke because if not you could get a bad infection for leaving those needles in. So my answer is yes take them out.

If you have them in by the time you leave the doctor's office, it is too long. Take them out before you get infected!

Ring up the surgery today. Tell them about your situation and when you should take them out. They will give you PLENTY of information.
