I received a second piercing on both ears at Claire's but the second hole on my second earlobe was pierced too low and as a result the it split. Should I just get the above area pierced or can I go to a hospital to receive stitches to close it. Please help me I feel so insecure about this issue.

Answer: Piercing split - What to do? A torn earlobe is best treated in the office of a Facial Plastic or Plastic Surgeon who should be able to treat it under local anesthesia. An ER or hospital may not be the best choice and may result in a less than desirable scar. After earlobe repair the ears can usually be pierced at a later date, typically 6-8 weeks later.

Answer: Not the hospital No need to go to the hospital. Best option is for it to settle down a little and then find a plastic surgeon to repair this for you. It will take a small amount of time and local anesthetic to fix this. Take a break from earrings for about a year on that side, and then you can consider re-piercing.
