    I'd go to essential beauty or similar and get them to have a look, needle is probably the better way to go

    Re: When an ear piercing closes over

    Is it completely healed back and front? I remember as a teenager I left my earrings out for ages and the back slightly closed over (probably only a couple of layers of skin). I picked a pointy pair of earrings and went through the front (where there was still a clear hole) and just poked my earring all the way through. It's probably not recommended, but it was fine after and since!

    Lol Chody I did consider that! The front is definitely closed but was going to get DH to have a look at the back. Mainly because I'm surprised how fast it happened too, but I think it's because it was 'open' in there so able to come together. The other side is fine and I've gone much longer without earrings before. I was hoping I could just go with a gun - that's how it was done the first time and I could get it done much quicker that way, like tomorrow. Might look up some places that could have a look at it.

    Turns out it wasn't actually closed! I was trying to see the back and the front started coming away. It was just a bit of dry crusty type skin covering the front completely. I got rid of that and put in a pair of sleepers right away. Now I'll have to make sure I stop picking and leave it alone!
