How long does it take for a piercing to heal after being reopened?
They typically take about 1 to 2 months to fully heal. Cartilage piercings elsewhere on your ear will take longer to heal. It may take up to 6 months or even 1 year before a helix or tragus piercing is fully healed. While your piercing is still healing, don’t take your jewelry out for an extended period.
What happens if you take a newly pierced earring out?
You should only switch into new earrings AFTER the healing period. If you take your earrings out for any length of time during the healing period, the holes may close or you may find it difficult to re-insert earrings into a piercing hole that has not fully healed.
Will my earrings go back in after a few hours?
It is unlikely that the holes have completely closed after only a few hours. It can be helpful to wipe the front and back of the earlobe with rubbing alcohol and then stretch the earlobe to make the hole appear as large as possible. The earrings will probably go back in if inserted at the correct angle.

How long does it take for ear piercing holes to close?
The holes often stay open for a few weeks or longer if they have been there for several years of earring use. It is unlikely that the holes have completely closed after only a few hours.

How do you put an earring through your ear piercing?
Put your earring in the other way. In other words, put it through from the back piercing/hole to the front. Don’t worry if you can’t get it all the way through. Put the earring through the front hole and twist it continually until you find the back hole and the earring goes through.
