i went out the other night wearing hoops in my ears (ive got my ear lobes pierced twice) and caught one in my hair! i pulled it, and it really hurt, but other than that was fine!
i woke up the next morning with blood on my ear lobe - so i washed my ear with warm water! Now it wont stop bleeding! I dont sleep in earings, but i dont know whether to keep a pair in my ears during the day to keep the hole open (the cut is over one of the holes) or to let it scab over+heal up! this would mean id have to re-pierce this hole, which i have to do sometimes if i dont wear earings for a few weeks as it heals over quickly!
Also, what should i use to clean it with! Ive been using warm salt water+applying antiseptic cream, but is this enough??
So....to wear earings, or not??
thanx

I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me, and it's easy solved Do keep your earrings in, and just take care next time you wear hoops or dangly earrings. Should heal up fine soon though, hope it's not too sore!
i keep turning them about every 30mins, and if my ear bleeds again il take them out, sterilise it, and put them in again!! It was horrid trying to sleep last night, couldnt lie on my right side, which is how i normally always sleep!
Aww I admit I hadn't thought of the fact that the stems on original studs are thicker, but I think that's a good thing really...it just means you should have less bother in the long run. If you just persevere it'll be alright, and will heal faster than it would if you had let it heal and had to go right back to square one getting them re-pierced.
Sounds horrid though, you really do have to suffer to be beautiful eh
:yes: agreed!! Beauty is painful!! It aint too bad now, its just im not used to wearing these kinda earings+especially not all night!!
