Can i still push my earring through?

Question

after 6 weeks i took out my earring for 2 days and it like closed up do you think i can just push the earring through?without getting an infection?

Answer 1

You can, but keep it clean and be ready for it to hurt. On the other hand, it may just be clogged with dead skin and oils, like a black head. Try gently pushing the stud thru and see if that is all it is. Sylvia

Answer 2

Push hard until you feel it pop through the other side, then coat your ear with peroxide and neosporin.  If you're lucky, you'll actually get to hear the popping sound!

Answer 3

Yes you can still push it though. Just take some alcohol and rub your ear first and apply some on the earring too and just stick it though.  

Answer 4

umm well i had a similar experience. i didnt wear my earrings for 30 days and it looked like it closed up. i was freaking scared but i just poked a ear stick through. dont worry, it'll go through just fine. might wanna get some antiseptic cream to put on your ear after poking it through , just in case yeah.

Answer 5

my sister's always close up so whenever she is going to a party, she needs to push the earring through...and it does go through. You just need  to put some Vaseline on the earring to make it slippery

Answer 6

Yeah.. But your ear might warm up and turn red once you put the earring through, so use some of the liquid in the bottle they gave you when you went to get your ear peirced.  

Answer 7

You can push it through, with some work and pain. To reduce the chance of an infection, thoroughly wash your hands and apply alcohol to the earring and the ear. But it'll probably get infected. Keep cleaning it frequently after with alcohol and such, but it's pretty likely it'll get infected.

Good luck.

Answer 8

Yes! Just make sure to disinfect your ear and the earing itself. Also make sure the earing is real gold, silver, etc. if not, it may get infected.

Answer 9

Yes, it happened to me but hurry and make sure you use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide daily  

Answer 10

sure you can if you can take the pain.  the infection will always come about if you don't take care of it.  just keep it clean.  it will be red and swollen just from the trauma, but definitely clean it at least twice a day.

Answer 11

yer, clean the earring and clean you're ear wit tcp before you push it through, i'd leave it in for afew more weeks - remember to clean and turn them!

Answer 12

you should be able to if you have the beginner earrings, the ones with the sharp backs, it'll probably bleed and be red for a little while but if you clean it you should be ok.

Answer 13

it all depends on how fast of a healer you are

i have quite a few punctures in my body (nose, monroe,below the belt, 8 ear piercings on both sides, tounge, navel) and trust me that i have forced earrings and hardware through just about all of them...lol  

expect some pain, and bruising

Answer 14

yeah it would get infected he he our avatars look a like

Answer 15

Push from the back and see if that works.  If it doesn't go all the way through, push from the front.  Sometimes when you first get a piercing, they start you with earrings that have a sharp point to the end...do you have one of these?  If so, disinfect it and use this one to push through.  Apply antibiotic ointment to the ear after (or peroxide--but only if it is not a bleeding/deep cut wound).  Good luck.

Answer 16

yes,i still push my earning through

Answer 17

yes you can push it through, just make sure to keep it clean

Answer 18

maybe.. but to be on the safe side... see what the piercing place can do before you damage your ear.

Answer 19

push it through and get some peroxide.
