Back of earring embedded in ear lobe?!
Question: Back of earring embedded in ear lobe!?
My 12 yr!. old step daughter had let her pierced ears close up!. She then re-pierced them by jamming post earrings through the still visible hole!. That went fine!. Now, a month later she comes to me and says I can't feel the back of the earring!. We looked and the back was INSIDE her ear lobe!. We told her that we would have to take her to a Dr!. and have it taken out (involving shots and cutting her ear open)!. She went in the bathroom and got the back out on her own!.!.!.taking a fair share of tissue with it!. My question is: How in the world could it be INSIDE the lobe!? She swears she turned them every day, but I'm doubtful!. Any insight appreciated!.

That's a question for your daughter!. The holes in the lobe are not large enough to fit an earring back in there without force!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
how could have that happened!?! the hole is not large enough for an earring back to go through there!. maybe she didn't clean it 2-3 times a day and rotate it or she maybe made it irritated!. i had my cartilage pierced about 2 weeks ago and went through the same thing your step daughter went through, except i didn't let the hole close!. i took the ones they pierced me with out (they used a bigger post), cleaned my ears very well again and put neosporin on the post, and put the different ones in that were smaller!. about 4 days later, the swelling went down and now i have room between my ear and the back!.
