I have my ears pierced 3 times and they were pierced quite a long time ago. My third piercing (it's not in the cartilage I don't think) is on the lobe just above the other 2 and right be4 it turns into cartilage. Well I haven't had earrings in the top 2 holes on both sides for almost 2 weeks. I went to put earrings in (hoops) last week and all the holes were okay except the third (top) one on the left side. It closed on the back. So I used alcohol and pushed the earring through. It hurt when I did that. And now it is still hurting when I put the earrings in in the morning. How long will it hurt? Is it healing again? If so is there anything I can do to speed the healing process? How long does it take to heal? It is uncomfortable! And I don't want to let the hole close. HELP! :(
