It's on my right ear. It used to hurt, but not any more. Sometimes it bleeds. My earring still goes threw my ear, but it's embarrassing and I would like to know how to get rid of it.

Answer: Earlobe repair info Earlobe repair is a very common procedure. Frequently, we have patients who will have the procedure done the same day as the consultation. Typically, the cost is between $450-850 per earlobe, depending on the severity and the length of the procedure.You may be able to find a doctor who will do this under insurance but i am not aware of any.The length of time the ears have been gauged should have no effect on the procedure. As long as the tissue is no longer irritated or inflamed, there is no reason not to give it a try. Gauged ears are sometimes more difficult than some other earlobe repairs since the tissue is so over stretched, but we are still able to create a natural looking earlobe. You can get your ear re pierced about 6 weeks after and should be included in the pricing. Shop around in your area and see if you can find a plastic surgeon in your budget

Answer: I have a hard bump on my ear lobe. This appears to be a keloid. You should have this evaluated by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. It might improve with injection treatments or might require removal with a small surgical procedure. Either way, it would be best to stop putting an earring through that piercing as it's traumatizing the tissue and creating more scar tissue there. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
