To get an earring back through, you'll need to gently prepare your earlobe and carefully guide the earring.
Steps to Reinsert an Earring Back Through Your Ear
Here's how to reinsert an earring back through your earlobe, incorporating advice from the reference:
-
Soften the Skin: Begin by soaking the earlobe in warm water. The warm water will help soften the skin and make reinsertion easier.
-
Lubricate the Area: Apply a non-antibiotic ointment like Aquaphor or Vaseline to your earlobe. This helps keep the skin pliable and reduces friction.
-
Stretch the Lobe: Gently stretch your earlobe to help open up the piercing hole and make it easier to pass the earring.
-
Carefully Reinsert: Carefully try pushing the earring through the back side of the earlobe.
- If you are having trouble, ensure you are not pushing against the side of the piercing, but directly through the center.
Why This Works
The combination of warm water, lubricant, and gentle stretching helps to make the skin more pliable and easier to work with. This approach minimizes the risk of pain and damage to the piercing.
| Step | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Warm water | Softens the skin |
| Lubricant | Reduces friction and keeps the skin flexible |
| Gentle stretching | Helps open up the piercing hole |
| Careful reinsertion | Guides the earring back through the piercing |
Remember to be patient and gentle throughout the process. Avoid forcing the earring if it does not go through easily, and consult a professional piercer if you continue to have difficulties.
