Wear earrings is a way to highlight your face, but if you do not wear earrings regularly, the piercing holes will begin to clog. So how long does it take for earrings to clog ? Let's find out with Helios through today's article.
How long does it take for your ears to get clogged if you don't wear earrings?
The question of how long it takes for an earring to become blocked depends on how well the piercing has healed and the individual's constitution. In addition, time and the material of the earring also play a role in determining how quickly the piercing will become blocked.
How long does it take for a newly pierced person to get a blocked nose without wearing the piercing?
For those who have just had their ears pierced, the time it takes for the piercing to become blocked is usually quite short. When not wearing the piercing, the piercing can close within the first 24-48 hours. The reason is that the skin around the piercing is still in the process of recovery, easily regenerating. Therefore, if you do not want the piercing to become blocked, wear the piercing continuously for at least the first 6-8 weeks after piercing.
If you remove your earrings for cleaning or replacement, do not leave them on for more than a few hours. If you leave them on for too long, especially if you have a fast healing body, the hole may begin to close, making it difficult to put them back on.
I've been wearing earrings for a year. How long does it take for the earring hole to get clogged after taking it off?
After wearing an earring for more than a year, the piercing hole is usually stable and will not close as quickly as a new piercing. However, how long it takes for the earring to close depends on the individual.
For many people, the ear can remain open for weeks or even months. However, if the piercing is left unpierced for a long time, the hole will gradually narrow and may close completely. This is especially true if the piercing is in an area with thin tissue or if you don't wear your piercing regularly.
Those who love men's earrings or other types of earrings for men should take note to wear the earrings regularly to avoid having to re-clean their ear holes.
