Transcript excerpt
I'm a dermatologist and that's a torn earlobe, which is one reason why it's not a great idea to sleep in earrings. But if that ever happens to you, it's okay. Dermatologists know how to fix it. When it's completely torn like that, under local anesthesia, we numb up the earlobe, we cut fresh edges along the wedge there, bring the skin back better, and then sew it up. If you've also worn heavy earrings and the piercing becomes loose and the hole gets too big, we can also repair that by just closing up the hole and then repiercing. It's actually kind of fun and one of my favorite procedures to do.
