What are torn earlobes?
Earring holes start as tight little holes/channels for an earring, but over time may come to look more like an elongated slit more than a hole. Typically, heavy earrings play a role in this evolution, but sometimes it even happens with stud-style earrings. Usually, it happens over time and isn’t particularly traumatic (i.e. no bleeding, pain, etc.), but occasionally it happens more acutely from someone or something pulling at an earring and tearing the hole. Either way, it is an easy fix.

What causes torn earlobes?
Torn earlobes happen either because of wearing heavy earrings over the years or because of trauma. Sometimes you know that you wore heavy hoops or even heavy studs, but sometimes it is earrings that you don’t even consider to be particularly heavy because they don’t feel heavy to you. Of course, your earring hole can also be traumatically torn in an accident.
Where do you get torn earlobes?
It may occur in one or both earlobes. Sometimes one earlobe splits the whole way through before the other and it makes sense to repair both.
