Ear Pierced


Question Posted Monday September 5 2005, 9:11 pm

I got a earring about 1 month ago. Everytime I take the earring out to try and put a new one in, it seems like the back of my ear closes or something like real fast. I have to push the earring in, and eventually I get it in, and it's usually fine. Today I changed it again, and I tried to put a new one and I couldn't get it in cause it hurt. Then the back of my ear started to bleed a little. Does that mean it's infected? Or just irritated? Should I take the earring out and let it close up, or is it something that will go away? What should I do? I don't want to take it out. Thanks

You probably started changing it too soon. just leave whatever earing you have in and keep it clean, just like you did when it was fresh for a few more weeks and see if hte problem stops.

hum..well i just got my ears perised in may and that would happen to me...usually i would ask a friend to put my earing in for me just becuase like i didnt have a mirror or nething..but when it just bleeds i just think its irritated..if its infected it would prob turn like purple or something try keeping your earings in for a lil while maybe a week so the hole doesnt close up

ahh im not critizeing you- but you shouldnt take your earring out, untill about 2 months. no its not infected. or anything like that. your ear-piercer (unless if you did it your self) should of given you a bottle thats usually white and its for the back of your ear, its what they do around here. if you did it your self. let it close and get it professionally done :) its well worth the money.

&& DO NOT WEAR HOPS FOR YOUR FIRST 7 WEEKS OF GETTING THAT EARRING!! just ta let you know :)

i think that you arent putting the earing straight into the hole. i had an earing for a while and i changed it after the first month and i didnt have a problem, ask some one to put it in for you.

Wait, so you just got your ear pierced one month ago? It depends if you got it pierced on your cartilidge or your lobe. If you got it pierced on your cartilidge you SHOULDN'T be taking it out, for atleast six months. If you got it pierced in your lobe, then time can vary from atleast 3 months onwards. You shouldn't have taken the piercing out if you have only had it for one month.
But you may mean that you've had it done a lot longer & you got new earrings, and traded them one month ago. It's probably irritated from you switching earrings so much. You need to keep an earring in for a certain amount of time, and NOT touch it, just clean it. It COULD be infected, but I doubt it, you just need to make sure you care for it. You shouldn't take it out and let it close up, if the irritation continues after keeping your earring in for a length of time then you should go back to the place you got your ear pierced & hopefully they can give you some better advice.

I have the same problem. I've had my ears pierced for years, but whenever I take the earrings out for over five minutes (used to be a shorter amount of time), the holes close up. This is a medical condition. Find earrings that do not irritate your ears. If you want to frequently change your earrings, they have ones where the part in your ear always stays in, but you can change the bottom, so it looks like different earrings.
