Without an earring in place, the diameter of the hole will begin to shrink and can completely close up. The general rule is to not remove your earrings at all for the first six weeks. After that, you can remove them for cleaning, but you should quickly put it back in place to prevent closure.
Regarding this, will your ears close if you don’t wear earrings?
The short answer to this question is “yes.” If you don’t wear earrings, the hole will close. … For those who’ve had earrings on for years, even if you don’t wear earrings for a week, the hole will not close. It would take a few weeks for that to happen.
Also question is, do earring holes ever go away?
If a piercing is fully healed, you’ve had the jewelry in place for longer than a year, and you take the jewelry out, chances are very good that the hole will shrink, but not close completely and look as if it were never there. You will likely always see a small divot where the jewelry was placed in the skin.
