A member asked:

Ear lobe pierced 7 months ago, wore earrings, rotated, cleaned everyday. took earrings out for 1st time ever for 2 days, piercing nearly closed up entirely. put earring back in, had to force it in, bled a bit but stopped completely. what do i do?

Let the ear heal for a week or two and the let your doc/ surgeon decide if the piercing needs revision. Good luck

Observe for redness,pain& swelling which is characteristic of an infection that requires oral antibiotics& should be examined & followed by a physician. Otherwise when confronted with a closed piercing, only gently try pushing an earing through using white Vaseline. If you encounter resistance, do not force it through but consult a surgeon for this. Bleeding and/or scarring can result from forcing
