Pierced Ear Hole Removal - Lobe - Both Ears - Embarrassing

The piercing can be removed with an earlobe repair procedure.  Once the scar is excised, the skin should stop shedding and creating the debris that is expressed from the piercing site.  There would be a small surgical scar that would fade over time from the surgery.  Most patients are willing to trade a small scar for relief of drainage and constant cleaning.  Fillers can also be added after the earlobe to minimize the look of the line that you described, but without surgery the hole would still be there.Repor

All the best,

It is a fairly simple procedure to repair the earlobe piercing sites that you are describing. This can be done under local anesthesia in the office. It would involve removing the skin that is within the piercing site and then Closing the piercing site. You will still have a small linear scar where the piercing was but it should be a lot more subtle.

This happens all the time. Holes can be uneven. Holes can stretch over time, or are stretched after trauma, (kids pulling on earrings).  It sounds like your holes partially closed.  We repair these holes often under local anesthesia in the office. Give your local facial plastic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon a call.

The best solution would be to surgically revise the piercing hole and remove any excess epithelialized tissue and resuture the earlobe. 

Thank you for your question. Your description suggests simple squamous debris being expressed from the old piercing tract. Generally, there is no associated pain or redness. Your condition can be treated with a minor procedure in the office using only local anesthesia. The piercing would be exchanged for a small scar. Good luck.

You are not alone with the "old piercing" reminder.  I have treated patients who have had small piercings to extremely large (2-3 inch diameter) piercings.  Both types can cause ear lobe deformity.   The best way to treat this is remove the skin surrounding the original hole and to design theear lobe tissues to close with the least amount of deformity to the shape of the lobe.  This can be done under local anesthesia and can take 1hr.  Sutures can be removed in 1-2 weeks.   In 3-4 months, you can have a repiercing if you'd like.

Excision under local anesthesia will remove the source of the "pimple" sebum that collects in your old pierce sites, as well as eliminating the pierce--with only a minimal permanent scar visible: a good trade!

The front hole can be excised and will leave a small scar which may appear to be a nearly imperceptible line

There likely still an epithelial tract that is shedding skin.  This could be removed under local anesthesia in the office.  An incision line would be visible, but should fade with time.  This should solve the "pore" problem.
My patients generally are able to go to work the next day.  Sutures are either removed in a week or dissolve by themselves.
Best of luck!

The tiny scars which most often result from a surgical repair of an ear piercing gone awry are usually a very acceptable trade off for the problems you mention. Find someone with experience to get the best result.
