    how long has it been since the infection? i pierced my ear when i was like 8 and it got infected really really really bad. i left it alone and the hold closed up. i repierced it when i was like 15 and it's been okay. i think it just depends on long the infection was.

    pierce right next to it like waht i did. or if u need it in that exact place wait till ur infection is gone...perhaps a couple of months.

    I know what you mean..one of my piercing closed up and left a bump. I decided not to repierce it because that area had gotten thicker. It'd probably be much more difficult to deal with, the bump and all. Tell me of your results if you do!
     
  7. yeah... i think the smart thing to do is wait till it's completely healed.... ouch.... wonder if i should get another one pierced....

    If it has been a long time since the infection it is safe to get it re pierced again. I remember the first time I had my ears pierced I got an infection and it closed, so I had to go and do it again. It was fine afterwards.
     
  12. wear fake earrings and avoid another incident

    just buy aseptics...it doesnt matter if it gets infected. just clean in on regular basis.

    I think you should wait until it has fully healed before repiercing. Ears are really sensitive areas and can easily swell and cause infections. If it has a bump or lump on it, best just leave it for now. For your ears to heal faster, you should use the ear piercing solution and antiseptic cream. Hope thats helpful ^^ -sweat

    Wait until it's completely healed. Then I guess it's even safe to repierce in the same spot.
