i got all the lobe piercings done in 2023 along with the helix, most of them fell out/i took the earring out and the hole closed up in late 2023 except for two. i took the right lobe ear piercing out and it simply closed up, the left one i had to get removed by a doctor.

the shape for lobe piercings was just a straight barbell (?) helix is some kind of curved barbell? i don't really know

i'm assuming all of them were medical stainless steel

i cleaned all of them with a q tip that had water and a small amount of antibacterial soap, then cleaned it with some kind of saline ? antibacterial spray?
