What do i do if i had an earring ripped out of ear? er?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ripped earring: Rinse the area and cover with antibiotic cream or ointment. As long as bleeding is not an issue, waiting for direction to a clinician to help you is best. Using the 'if this were my daughter rule...", i would seek consultation with a plastic surgeon asap.
