This depends on the kind of piercing.
If it is a barbell, (a slightly curved piece with two balls on the end, most common) grasp the bottom of the barbell with your thumb on the bottom ball and you index finger gently pushing the piecing out away from your face. Then, use your other hand to carefully unscrew the ball at the top. Usually turning the ball to the left will loosen it, but you'll have to experiment.
If the piercing is a ring (a circular ring with one ball in the middle), then gently grasp the piercing where it meets your skin, holding it in place. Then, using your other hand, work at the ball in the middle, trying to push it up and out. If your piercing starts to hurt, leave it alone for about an hour and then try again. These are by far the most difficult to remove.

It depends on where it is pierced. The lobes can take about 3 months to completely close up, where your cartilage can take 6 months to even a year to completely close up.
