My ears wont stay pierced!?

Question

When I was a little girl, my parents were nice enough to get my ears pierced when I was a baby so I wont have to go through the pain later, well I do anyway. In elementary school and middle school, I was a tomboy and I would feel embarrassed to wear earrings because my friends would have thought I was 'too girly'. So I didn't wear them. Time has past and I moved states and made a new group or friends. Girl friends. I used to never want to wear pink but now I need a pink shirt, I hated makeup but now I already started trying it. Same with the earring thing but the only problem is that I haven't used earrings in so long that my ear started closing up and now every time I want to put an earring in, I have to stab myself (which really hurts). Right now I have some earrings from Claire's in so my ears wont close up. Is this unhealthy? Will leaving inexpensive earrings in my ears while I stabbed myself harmful? What is the best thing I can do?

Answer 1

Get some surgical steel earrings (normally from the case at Claire's) and leave those in.  You also need to clean your ears because I wouldn't doubt that opening up the piercing again could leave infection if left untreated.  Use dial soap from the pump (NO BARS), a q-tip, and some hot water.

Answer 2

you are doing the right thing . i do say invest in a pair of gold or silver earrings and leave them in for 4 weeks , so ur hole doesnt close

i went through a period where i didnt want to wear earrings , and then eventually i started to wear them again , and my mom essentially repeirced my ears .

Answer 3

Nah, you'll be fine. My sister used to go long periods with no earrings and had to force them back in. She was always OK. Your ears will be a little sore when you put the earrings in or turn them. That'll last for about a week, but that's it. Try to only wear them during the day. Your ears still have to breathe! And you'll want to remove them once a day to clean off your ears and the earring posts, so just go ahead and leave them off while you're sleeping. You will have to do this daily for about a month before they go in with ease, but it's much easier once you get them in there the first time.

Answer 5

what i would do is get a nice pair of earrings and wear them while you arent wearing other eraing, then once you want to wear a dangle pair of some sort you can just trade them. if you keep earrings in at all times then there wont be a way they would close.

Answer 6

go to claires or somewhere where they pierce ears and ask them. i would suggest some nicer earrings.
