When a piercing closes, the body’s healing process causes the skin to grow back together, creating a barrier in the hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the piercing is only partially closed, there’s still a usable hole. The skin has grown over the hole, but there\u2019s still a tunnel underneath it. It’s advised to resist the urge to break through the skin as this can lead to infection or bleeding. Instead, steps can be taken to soften the skin and carefully push the earring through the backside of the earlobe\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the piercing is fully closed, it’s recommended to seek the help of a professional piercer to avoid complications such as infection, tissue damage, and nerve damage.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be possible to get re-pierced in the same spot, but only a professional can determine this. If the hole is closed due to an allergic reaction or infection, it may not be advisable to pierce the same spot\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there’s significant scar tissue, it might be better to pierce a different spot or avoid another piercing entirely, as there’s a higher chance of developing a keloid in the new piercing\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Preparation_for_Reopening\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparation for Reopening<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary supplies: a new, sterile earring, antiseptic solution, and a pair of clean gloves. It’s also recommended to consult with a professional piercer or a healthcare provider before attempting to reopen a piercing on your own. They can provide expert advice and assess whether it’s safe to proceed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_Process_of_Reopening\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Process of Reopening<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Clean the Area: Apply an antiseptic solution to the area around the closed piercing.

Clean the piercing daily with a saline solution, and avoid touching it with dirty hands. Try not to sleep on the side of the reopened piercing, as this can cause irritation and slow the healing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Potential_Problems\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potential Problems<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reopening a closed ear piercing isn’t without risks. Potential problems include infection, keloids, and allergic reactions. If you notice any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge, seek medical attention immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Important_Considerations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important Considerations<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before deciding to reopen a closed ear piercing, consider the potential risks and benefits. Consult with a professional to understand the potential implications, including the chance of scarring, pain, and infection. Also, remember that everyone’s body is different, and what works for one person might not work for another.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reopening a closed ear piercing can be a journey, but with the right knowledge and preparation, it’s a manageable one. By understanding the piercing experience, preparing properly, following the right steps, practicing diligent aftercare, and being aware of potential problems, you can navigate this process with confidence. Remember, when in doubt, always consult with a professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"FAQs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQs<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"How_long_does_it_take_for_an_ear_piercing_to_close_completely\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does it take for an ear piercing to close completely?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This largely depends on how long you’ve had your piercing. Fresh piercings, especially those less than a year old, can close within hours of removing the earring. However, for piercings you’ve had for many years, it may take weeks, months, or potentially never fully close. This is because your body treats a piercing like a wound, and it works to heal it when jewelry is removed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Can_a_professional_piercer_help_to_reopen_a_closed_ear_piercing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can a professional piercer help to reopen a closed ear piercing?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, professional piercers are equipped with the tools and expertise to safely reopen closed ear piercings. They’ll assess the condition of your ear and can guide a new earring through the existing channel. If the piercing has completely closed, they may need to repierce the area. Remember, it’s crucial not to try this at home, as it could lead to infection or scarring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_should_I_care_for_my_ear_after_having_a_closed_piercing_reopened\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How should I care for my ear after having a closed piercing reopened?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treat a reopened piercing as you would a new one. Clean it regularly with a saline solution, avoid touching it with dirty hands, and don’t remove the jewelry until it’s completely healed. It’s also essential to keep an eye out for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, or pus. If you observe any of these symptoms, consult a medical professional immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Can_a_closed_ear_piercing_be_reopened_without_re-piercing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can a closed ear piercing be reopened without re-piercing?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be possible, depending on how long the earring has been removed and the degree to which the hole has closed. A professional piercer might be able to guide a taper through the channel to reopen it without fully re-piercing. However, if the hole has closed completely, a new piercing may be necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_soon_can_I_change_my_earring_after_reopening_a_closed_ear_piercing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How soon can I change my earring after reopening a closed ear piercing?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a reopened piercing, you should ideally wait until the area has completely healed before changing the earring, which typically takes 6-8 weeks for lobe piercings and 3-9 months for cartilage piercings. Changing the earring too soon could disrupt the healing process or introduce bacteria into the wound, leading to infection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Interesting_Info\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interesting Info<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all ear piercings close at the same rate. The closing speed varies depending on the location of the piercing. For instance, a lobe piercing tends to close slower than a cartilage piercing due to different tissue types.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The human body perceives a piercing as a wound. Consequently, the immune system initiates the healing process, which may lead to the closure of the piercing when the jewelry is removed. It’s this self-repair mechanism that makes reopening a closed piercing potentially complex.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your skin type can influence the healing process of a reopened piercing. People with keloid-prone skin may experience thicker scar tissue around the piercing area, which can make reopening a closed piercing more challenging.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of ContentsIf you’re looking to reopen a closed ear piercing (or nose etc) here is how:Stages of a Piercing ClosingPreparation for ReopeningThe Process of ReopeningAftercarePotential ProblemsImportant ConsiderationsConclusionFAQsHow long does it take for an ear piercing to close completely?Can a professional piercer help to reopen a closed ear piercing?How should I care for my ear … <a title=\"How To Reopen A Closed Ear Piercing\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/10piercing.com\/how-to-reopen-a-closed-ear-piercing\/\" aria-label=\"More on How To Reopen A Closed Ear Piercing\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
