How To Get Rid Of Piercing Hole In An Ear?

I have some ear piercing holes that i don't want. One of the piercings is a scar, the other is open still, but i've been putting this stretch mark cream on it to see if that helps. The holes have gotten smaller but still there is there any way i can get rid of this.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you have ear piercing holes that have become stretched and elongated, due to heavy earrings it can be closed by stitching it under local anaesthesia but it can lead to some level of scars..
In case if the holes are not stretched you can maintain cleanliness of the area by cleaning it daily with mild soap and water and pressing them gently to remove any debris from the holes so that they can heal up naturally and gradually close..
As your pierced hole has already gotten small it will close gradually but for immediate closure you will have to consult a physician and he can evaluate it and if required it can be stitched

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
