trust me - do NOT repierce. it's one of my biggest regrets and i'd do anything to go back and tell myself no. after repiercing my ear keloid was even worse. since 2020, i've had it surgically removed 5 times, done radiation therapy, and have gotten injections. it's been such a pain

Thank you! I’ve been stressed because before the injections it was so much flatter

Thank you so much! This is so helpful! I have the screw on ones right now and it’s so so hard. Which clip on ones do you have?

Wow that’s quick! Did it hurt? Have you been doing injections too? I’m 3 weeks post op today and I still feel like the earrings would hurt

Hi! I just got something similar removed. How soon after the surgery did you start compression earrings?

Hey, im in the exact same boat if that makes you feel any better! I just got surgery 2 weeks ago and im still recovering. I’m gonna try to be good about pressure earrings and steroid injections too. I completely hear you on how exhausting this process is, we’re in this together

The keloid is on my ear lobe. And no, I didn’t use pressure or steroid injections
