Ear piercing: What are you asking? If the ear piercing is all healed it will never close. If it has not healed you should see your doctor because it should have healed in about 2 weeks.

My daughter 13(F) has a small bulge in her ear. It feels round, and is located just above her piercing (Pierced when she was 9, have re-pierced 3 times, last when she was 10) It is about the size of a small pea. Should I be worried? Thanks answering?
