What is a good way to get an earing through a hole that is halfway closed up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Push it through: Carefully; the hole has probably not healed completely closed, and "finding" the tract is usually possible without re-piercing. Of course, there is always re-piercing, but keep the new hole clean or it too will become inflamed/infected and heal shut.
