You can re-pierce your ear after you have had an infection but you have to wait until the infection is gone i went to get mine re-pierced when i had an infection but they sent me away try massaging your ear to get rid of infection.

Sadly, you have 3 options: A) CAREFULLY stick a new earring into it, just one that fits in the hole and doesn't dangle or anything OR B)Wait for it to close, and then get it repierced Or C) buy a tapered pin and lube it up with sterile ointment. Then gently insert the taper into the hole. Some tapered pins have threads on the back which will connect to jewelry so you won't lose connection.

Should you close your belly piercing before getting it repierced?

Why would you need to repierce it if it hasn't closed? If it's too shallow or crooked, yes, close it up. You don't want the new piercing hole and the old one to meet and tear to form a single hole.

How can I close up my 3 year old lip piercing I've heard about people getting stitches?

The best thing to do is get a dermal punch. That will remove the scar tissue and let your skin heal back. Go talk to a piercer about it. You'd want to get it a size larger than what the original piercing was. You don't want to repierce it because piercing only displaces the skin so it wouldn't get rid of the scar tissue.

Is it possible to reduce an 18-gauge piercing to a 20-gauge piercing or is it only possible to stretch your piercings?

As long as the jewelry is not to heavy the skin will eventually shrink, and your not going to drastic so yes it should shrink to a 20g within a few months or less. --- i have my ears stretched to around a 2g and they are almost completely closed up, so given that, I'm sure if you put in a smaller ring the skin should close up on it.

Will your lip piercing close after 4 weeks?

If you've had the piercing for only four weeks then yes, it will close relatively quickly. My lip piercing was two years old and closed up in only a few days, leaving a small scar. If you don't want it to close but do want it to go unnoticed look into piercing retainers.


How long does it take for a lip piercing to close up?

As long as it takes. Not every piercing will close within moments of taking the jewellery out, there are other aspects that come into play. Length of time you had the piercing, the size of the jewellery, healing issues all these affect how fast a piercing will close. So as long as the jewellery is out the body will deal with it as it sees fit.
