My ear piercing doesn't seem to be healed yet after 7 months?

If your ear piercing has not healed after 7 months, it may be necessary to remove the piercing to allow the skin to heal properly. Basic hygiene practices such as cleaning with mild soap and water once or twice a day should be sufficient. It is important to clean and sterilize the piercing regularly. While you may be concerned about the piercing closing up, removing it is the best option for a wound that has not healed after several months. If needed, a new piercing can always be done in the future.
