when to change earrings after piercing
A: You should only switch into new earrings after the healing period: 6 weeks for an earlobe piercing and 12 weeks for a cartilage piercing. For the first 6 months after your earlobe piercing heals, do not go more than 24 hours without an earring or your piercing may close. For cartilage piercings, you will want to wear an earring 24/7 for the 6 months after your piercing heals or your piercing may close.
