I have cheerleading tryouts tomorrow: no jewelry allowed! i got my cartilage pierced about 8 weeks ago. what can i do so that i dont have close??

Bring the: Temporary studs (usually placed right after the puncture....remove them...try out and replace ASAP ..Your ear will not heal that quickly!!!! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Will not close: Taking out the ornament in the pierced site, for a few hours will not cause it to close. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats.
