Depends on how long you have them, and what kind they are.

Piercings in the cartilage, lip and ear lobe rarely close completely, they scar while new skin might grow over the hole, the cartilage remains shattered.

Tongue piercings heal quickly, because the tongue is a muscle.

Dermal piercings also heal better than cartilage, but can leave a scar.

How long will it take nipple piercings to get enough scar tissue to never close up?

There's no way to be sure honestly. Some people can have piercings for years that never fully heal to the point that they don't close. If you have other piercings that have healed to that point, you can use that as a gauge but otherwise, don't remove the jewelry unless you want to risk losing the piercing :)


You have your ears pierced for thirteen months and you had your earrings out for four months and you want your piercings close to get re-pierced how long will they take to close?

Well the piercings will not close up completely after that period of time. It can take a year or longer for piercings over a year old to shrink and close.


Your ear piercings try to close up after changing the earrings and something that looks a bit like pus comes out of the piercings?

Well it sounds like the piercings are not fully healed and the discharge you are getting (whitish/yellow) is lymphatic matter that the body generates as it tries to heal the piercings( this discharge is normal in all new piercings under a year old ). I would suggest you put in good quality jewellery in your piercings and leave them alone except for cleaning in the shower other than that let them heal up.

Will your genital piercings close up?

Well it depends on a few things the type of piercing and more overly how long you have had the piercings. The older the piercings are the less likely the piercings will close completely, genital piercings will season and become toughened and therefore not as prone to closing like other piercings due to the nature of the tissue. If the piercings are new (under a year old) then the chances of the piercings closing is much greater. Ultimately if the jewellery is removed from a seasoned piercing is will shrink to a point where at first glance the piercing will not be noticeable (depending on the piercing). Male exotics Prince Alberts, reverse Prince Alberts, Ampallange and Apadrivias will remain visible even with the jewellery removed but they will shrink, but not close if over a year old. Female hood piercings horizontal or vertical, Labia majora and minora will all shrink but not close if over a year old, this also applied to actual Clitoral piercing as well.


How long does it take for you ears to block back without wearing earring?

It depends on your age, how long you had them, where the earrings are, and how thick they were. They're more likely to close or close faster if you're younger, didn't wear earrings for that long, if you're talking about piercings other than plain simple lobe piercings, and if the earrings were thin. Regular ear lobe piercings may never close.


Do ear piercings close up?

They can close up if small and not used frequently. Larger defects will not close, but if required can be closed by minor plastic surgery.


Will my ear lobe piercings close up if I leave earrings out while treating infected ear lobe?
