Will My Ear Piercing Close Up Overnight?
Generally, newly pierced ears require special care and attention for about six to eight weeks after the procedure. However, cartilage ear piercings may take longer to heal as it may take anywhere between three to twelve months to heal completely. Ensure you keep your original earring in for the entire duration and practice other aftercare procedures as advised by your piercer. After the first six to eight weeks, you can remove the earring for cleaning. However, it is best to quickly replace the earring in the new hole for a maximum of one full year to prevent it from closing.
