Here are some tips to help you avoid stretched or ripped earring holes:
- Stick to lightweight or threader earrings. …
- Only wear heavy earrings for short periods. …

- Remove your earrings before bed.
Also, what happens if you keep hitting your piercing?
The idea is not to accidentally hit or snag your piercing, not only will it be painful, but you can cause an irritation that could set the healing process back a few weeks.
One may also ask, are you supposed to twist new ear piercings? Twisting the earrings cause rebruising of the newly forming canal and therefore increases healing time. … We recommend that you wait for at least six weeks before you remove the ear piercing earring. This because it takes about that amount of time for a newly pierced earring tunnel to heal.
Keeping this in view, what can you not do after a piercing?
Stay out of pools, hot tubs, rivers, lakes and other bodies of water while your piercing is healing. Don’t fiddle with your piercings. Don’t touch a new piercing or twist the jewelry unless you’re cleaning it. Keep clothing away from the piercing, too.
What should you not put on a piercing?
Do not use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. (Both slow the healing of pierced area by drying and killing new healthy cells.) Do not use bacitracin or other ointments. (Ointments attempt to heal the skin & may slow oxygen transport to the tissue).
