Can I Have Industrial Piercing On Left Ear With Impetigo S History On Right Ear?

Hi, Im an 18 year old male and was thinking about getting an industrial piercing on my left ear. When i was little, probably around 5 or 6 i got impetigo on my right ear. Would it be a good idea to get a piercing on my left? when i got my normal piercings on both ears i ended up getting impetigo on just my right ear.

Hello

Dont worry and you can go ahead with the piercings, just get it done in a sterile place so that it does not get infected!
Take care
