To open an earring hole, you can try the following steps, especially after your skin is softened by a warm bath or shower.
Steps to Open an Earring Hole
-
Prepare the Area:
- Make sure your hands are clean.
- After a warm bath or shower, your skin should be more pliable.
-
Moisturize:
- Apply an unscented moisturizer to the earlobe area. This will help the skin move more easily.
-
Stretch the Lobe:
- Gently pull your earlobe downwards and slightly to the side. This can help to open up the piercing.
-
Attempt Insertion:
- Try pushing a small stud earring through the hole.
- Important: Do not force the earring. If it does not go through easily, do not try to push it harder. This could cause pain or damage.
Additional Tips:
- Patience is key: If your piercing has closed up significantly, it might take several attempts over a few days to get an earring through.
- Hygiene is essential: Always ensure your earrings and hands are clean to avoid infection.
