i got my ear 2nd pierced and the 2nd hole is right above the first one the first one on the bottom part of my ear. i got it pierced like 2 or 3 months ago, and it started bleeding a few days ago, so i took the earrings out, and i hadnt changed the earrings at all or taken them out before then. so i took it out and it was bleeding, so i left it out for a few days, and i tried putting them black but it started bleeding again. its been a couple of days since i had them out, and do you think the hole will close up? what should i do and whats wrong with it?

I did my third piercing on my left ear once, and it just hurt so bad, so I took it out and it felt a lot better, but I put it in like a few minutes later, but I cleaned my ear with some Purell [sp?] and the stuff they give you to clean your ears with. So, I put it back in and it totally wasn't irrated and it was fine again. Since you just got it pierced, I don't really suggest keeping it out that long, just clean the earring with some alchohal and clean your ear up. I hope it helps, if not go get it checked out by a doctor it might be infected [ TillToniteDoUsPart's advice column | Ask TillToniteDoUsPart A Question ]
WhenIComeAround answered Tuesday July 10 2007, 3:15 am: Bleeding can be a normal thing for piercings to do because the holes aren't naturally there. It's not an unusual thing to do.
When it bleeds does it hurt? Are there any scabs around the hole? If not, it doesn't sound like it's infected. If it is, it's not the end of the world either.
Infected or not the best way to get rid of the bleeding in my opinion would be to put some salt in warm water and dab it on your ears with cotton wool. That's helping my infected ear so it should help your bleeding.
