After much badgering, I allowed my 8 year old to have her ears pierced, as many of her class do. We had it done around 3 months ago - now I've noticed that the piercing site seems to have "slipped" down and it looks like there is another hole that's healing. Not sure what to do. I've taken a pic if anyone wants to see and advise ?

Her ear was pierced at an angle, way too low on the lobe, and the earring is a very tight fit - I'm 99% it's rejecting. The weight of the jewellery is too much for young lobes like hers, especially pierced so low - it's growing itself out.
If I was you, I'd remove the earring before it gets any worse, and let it heal. Then if she still wants them pierced (give it at least 12 weeks before a repierce), please take her to a professional who will pierce the lobe again, in a much more central position, with a needle.
Obviously if I was able to see it in person, I could tell you this is what's happening for sure. But this is an educated guess. Hope I've helped
