Just heard from my ex our daughter gave herself an ear piercing last night using a sewing needle. He made her take it out bcs he wasn’t sure it would be safe (she marked the spot with mascara and used a flame off a lighter to sanitise the needle) After cleaning it out (with aftershave!) they couldn’t get the stud back in.
From a practical perspective in terms of the best outcome for her body - what should we do now, let it heal, or take her to a piercing studio ASAP?
Obviously there’s a bigger question here about all this but my urgent priority is her ear not being left with a keloid lump or infection or half healed hole.
