How do you close an ear hole?

How to properly close my ear ring hole?

  • Hello, I got my left ear pierced about 4 or 5 weeks ago, and recently it has gotten infected so I decided to close the hole. I also got my ear pierced on my right side about 1 week ago. I want both holes to close and heal so I can get them pierced again the right way.. How long and what should I do for them to close? Should I continue to clean my ears every day? Should I wear a bandage? And how long will it take for the infection to go away.. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    Your not really meant to take the earring out, because then the ear could close around the infection... I would personally keep the earrings in and do salt water soaks twice a day, everyday until it heals. (One teaspoon of sea salt in a cup of warm water) If you do this then in a week, it may be gone but it may still be there just not as bad, just be patient :P Your welcome to go to the doctors, they may give you antibiotics however my doctor also told me to take my earring out... DONT do this... If you still want to close them then when they are healed just take the earrings out and your ears will close on their own :D Good luck =]

I'll close that for you

I'm alergic to earrings but i've gotten them pierced 5 times. Usually it takes a couple weeks to close, maje sure when you get them pierced that the people clean their equipment daily.

If you're ear is infected, you don't want it to close. It'll trap the infection inside and can lead to more serious problems. And repiercing the area does not guarantee you won't have problems. Buy some high quality jewelry (titanium or steel are excellent) and keep your ears clean. Odds are your "infection" was a reaction to a cheap material. This is extremely likely, especially if you got it done with a gun. Do not bandage the area - it needs to breathe.

put polysporin on it every day twice a day..especially at night..night time for some reason..your body repairs itself..and that will repair it fast...so at bedtime is the most important. and give it a good month or two before redoing it.
