My earlobe is ripped, the piercing hole is close to the bottom, is there a home remedy to fix this? (Photo)

rmikosz
my mother ripped one earlobe piercing hole when I was nine, I am 25 now, it has also torn more due to constant wear of earrings, I don't even wear heavy ones. I have tried to go without earrings to let it heal and it remains open. I wanted to get it surgically fixed, as recommended by piercing places and doctors, but if the lobe isn't torn all the way through it will cost about $400 to fix, I don't have that kind of money. is there a home treatment available?
