Alright, /fit/, when I was a teenager, I stupidly got both of my ears pierced, once in each earlobe. However, about a year afterwards, I realized I was an enormous faggot for doing so and stopped putting earrings in them. I was told by a friend of mine who'd done the same that the holes would close up within a few months...well, it's now been about two years and it was brought to my attention earlier by someone that the holes are still visible, which I guess I hadn't thought about or noticed until now.How the hell do I get them to close up/disappear/whatever? After scoping the internets I have determined that the gauge or whatever is probably 16, POSSIBLY a 14. Also, possibly related, when I squeeze my left earlobe between my fingertips I can feel this tiny, tiny lump in there under the hole, and it's slightly painful (well, at least more painful than squeezing my opposite earlobe). Pic related, gauge chart.
the 'lump' makes it sound like you have an infection or something. other than that idk
>>384809Keloid, I cut mine out when I had 5/8ths gauges.
>>384879I have to cut it out? Jesus, how? It's pretty deep in there and I don't want to open the hole further; that would be kind of counterproductive at this point. also, again, it's only in one ear, so why won't the other hole close?
you don't have to cut it out if it isn't bothering you, your holes aren't going to close anyway. don't worry about it though man, nobody really sees them and i doubt the few people that do will care
>>384889Damnit. It's just now that the fact that the holes are even slightly visible has been brought to my attention i CANNOT UNHEAR it.
