Earring and torn ear lobe

My daughter has been asking to have her ears pierced after seeing 2 of her classmates with pierced ear lobes and wearing ear studs to school. Today, about a month short of turning six, she got her ears pierced. Given another chance I would not have let her pierced her ears!

I can't help but recall a story a friend told me a few year ago the moment I saw her pierced ear lobes. This friend was telling me about a time his daughter's girl friend was wearing one of those earrings that has round rings dangling from the ear lobes and they were playing a game. One of his finger was accidentally caught in one of the earrings ripping it off the little girl's ear and tearing her ear lobe!

That was an unfortunate accident but something that often times happens when wearing earrings. The way to protect earlobes and "fix" the problem without surgery, so one can wear earrings again, is to use Pierce-Mate. See: http://www.earringdoctor.com/piercemate.html
