Hi! Just posting in case anyone has any advice/knowledge.
I had my ears pierced age 10. I wore earrings 80% of the time until age 14 when I stopped and probably wore them 20% of the time. By age 18 I was only wearing them occasionally, probably twice a year for weddings or special events. They never seemed to close up though- I once didn’t wear them for 17 months and they went in easily enough. But recently I started wearing (now age 25) earrings full time and weirdly they seem to have closed up even though I’m now wearing earrings? After 1 week of wearing them they went an old red and mildly infected so I didn’t wear them for 3 days and now they’re completely closed. The infection was very mild and healed itself and is gone now but it’s completely healed over. I don’t understand why this has happened when I’m wearing earrings now but didn’t happen when I didn’t wear them for 17 months!! Does anyone have any advice of anything I can do or will I need to get them repierced?
