    ok so i've had this piercing for bout 8+ months

    it gets infected randomly BECAUSE THERES 3 FUCKING HOLES!

    2 for the earring and 1 accidental exit hole because apparently i pushed the earring hard enough to make a new exit hole instead of the original one when i put it in

    anyways the random infections and internal bleeding don't bother me much aside from have a red blotch above my ear piercing... looks ugly as shit but
    if anyone knows how to get rid of all the internal bleeding cuz i have red marks on there lmk


    if anyone is knowledge, willing to help and require pictures i'll post for more visual and clarification




    also i'm thinking of re-piercing as my earring hole is in a position i dislike or it has somehow migrated down there... but anyways

    it is ALMOST near the very bottom of my ear i feel like its going to split off and make a |_| kind of tear in my lobe flesh lmao...

    if i take my piercing out how long will it take to heal completely and i can repierce it
     
  2. okay, you need to take it out right now, and let it heal up :) completely.
    only when it is healed up and clean, then you can re-pierce it.
    otherwise, you will just be creating a hole, over an infected hole.
    from my experience it takes about a month to close over from inside out and stop being really sore and red.
    haha your ear wont rip off :) chill
    maybe try piercing your ear somewhere else?
     
  3. yep going somewhere that doesn't use a gun next time and get it done right

    i hope sea salt soaking it will take oout all that crap inside the wounds lol

    DONT TAKE IT OUT!
    Whatever you do seriously dont take the jewelry out of your ear.
    Go to a local piercing shop and get some antimicrobial soap and/or sea salt.
    Start washing with the soap and diluting 1tsp sea salt to 1cup of warm water and soak your ear for 5 minutes in the solution daily. It takes alot of care to heal and if done wrong you can trap an infection in the ear and create a keloid or buildup of scar tissue. ;)

    EDIT: You already took it out. Put it back in if you can and theres not too much pressure. Get to a local shop asap and start washing it daily is the best advice I can give.
     
  7. personally i would NOT take the piercing out, apparently it can trap the infection in

    but sea salt soak it with hot water several times a day

    i swear by sea salt soaks for all my piercings
     
  8. i use qtip dipped into a cup of warm sea salt

    it actually closed up after the day i took it out... (weird but i guess works b etter in this case?)

    so... there was completely no chance for me to put it back in unless i did it right after



    my piercing points sitll look red and have like crap stuck in between the lobe...

    should i let it heal as much as it can and put another piercing their and eventually get a stretch so it'll cover up what i believe will end up as a scar?

    i'll take pics tomorrow for a better understanding
