How long will it take for a hole in the ear cartilage made about a year ago to close after taking out the earring?

Eveyone is different, so healing times may vary. but generally after the ear ring has been removed from the cartilage, usually anywhere from 2 to 6 months. As I said, everyone is different, so your healing time can vary. You may notice a tiny dot from the scar tissue building up as it does heal, which is normal.

How long can you leave a cartliage ring out before it closes?
Cartilage never heals, at least not entirely, so the answer is subjective. The skin will close back up if the hole is small enough to begin with (22 Gauge is the basic earring post size), but the cartilage will retain it's fistula underneath.

If your pierced hole is bleeding should you take out the earring?
Since i did my ears myself, my piercing holes were very tender and bleed if I irritated the earring. Anyways, if you take out your earring, it is likely that the hole will close up, so NO, do not take it out. I didn't, and now my ears are all healed and healthy. Just make sure you clean it with salt water [no hydrogen peroxide or alcohol].

Do piercings ever fully close?
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.
Can you change a earring while its healing?
Well its not advisable because a hole can close up in minutes even if you've had it for a long time although you could try.

What happens if you take your cartilage piercing out for a minute?
Well, It really depends how long you had it for. If you had it for 8-12 weeks, you can take it out for about.. Give or take an hour. But if you take it out before its done healing the hole can shrink or close instantly! Also, after the healing time (8-12 Weeks) You should change the earring or leave it in, (doesn't matter) for the Whole year (365 Days,52 Weeks) until its FULLY Healed!
