I’ve had my ears pierced for over 20 years and I went without wearing earrings for around 10 of those. I’ve recently started wearing them again and I can fit earrings through no problem. Wondering why this is the case but someone who had only had them pierced for a couple of years wouldn’t be able to do this?
In: Biology
The body wants to fix the hole, because the body thinks that the piercing is an injury.
But after a while, the body gives up on trying to repair it.
Skin eventually grows right through the hole, so the body no longer thinks it’s a wound. Sometimes for some people and some piercings the entry and exit wounds will shrink and make it impossible to put jewellery in regardless but you can still feel the tube of skin inside if you squeeze the area
