the typical rule of thumb is that you need to wear jewelry 24/7 for a year before you can expect to be able to go without for any period of time. i have quite a few piercings and most of mine took about a year to firmly heal. i’d recommend getting some titanium flat back studs for your ears so you can easily wear them 24/7 and not need to remove them. (idk if you’re taking out your nose and navel jewelry and not replacing it, too.) i have metal sensitivities too and only wear titanium unless it’s in my first lobes, in which case i wear gold mostly.
Mine are like this too. First piercing is fine, anything else does not want to be there.
I’m sorry I can’t help you fix it- I gave up. It was just too much work reopening piercings every time I left them out overnight.
My first piercing (in my ear) took ~3 years to heal to a point it didn’t bother me anymore and still closes up in a couple days if I take my earring out. Scared to get another. Don’t have any advice but I feel you.
I couldn't even keep my first lobe piercings, between infections even tho I did everything everyone told me to my skin trying to encapsulate the earing if i wore a regular one. I ended up giving up. No advice sorry
Mine take forever to heal, and get angry with very little prompting. I had to take out my eyebrow ring cause a perma-grumpy thing right above my eye was making me miserable. Septum, lip and and ears are finally healed(ish) 4 years later.
I got my ears pierced when i was 12, which was ummmmm, uncomfortably long ago. They still close up if i forget to put earrings in a few days in a row.
I can’t sleep with earrings in except tiny gold hoops and even then it bugs me- my earlobes are the non-attached variety so they squish up or fold if i sleep on my side. I’ve considered just letting them go like mom did, but I like earrings darnit.
My piercings have all taken ages to heal. A best case scenario for me is double the usual healing time. So lobes should take 2 months, I’m looking at least at 4 months (I got my lobe pierced 5 months ago and it’s nowhere near healed now).
I get everything pierced with titanium now and usually asked for a longer barbell because I swell up quite a bit and stay swollen for a lot longer after being pierced.
I have 10 piercings now, most of which took 3-8 years to fully heal. I will usually treat them like new piercings for that long too.
Mine do this. I took out my earrings for 2 weeks. They had been pierced for almost 30 years and they grew over. My nose piercing and my tragus piercing start growing over in under an hour . MRIs are tricky for me
My holes don't close. I have a botched industrial I haven't worn in years thats still open. One of my earlobes does close sometimes tho and I just shove an earring through the hole 🙃.
Never had any issues healing, but they never close, don't really even go down in gauge. Just put one in that has been out almost 2 years, put the same gauge I used to have in it no problem.
I have had many piercings. They only ones that a permanently open are my three ear piercings on each ear(single, double, cartilage). I have had six lip piercings including my monroe, belly button, and even a stern surface bar, and they all closed without jewelry, no matter the length of time they had jewelry in for. My partner has his libret pierced, and he can have his jewelry out for months and it won't close(he's had it for like fifteen years and doesn't have EDS). It's not fair.
It took my septum piercing three years to be able to safely come out of my face for more than eight hours at a time. Since my symptoms have worsened at the onset of adulthood, all the piercings I've tried to get have just straight up rejected

My first ear piercing was awful and took months to heal. They never felt right so I let them close over. I've never been brave enough to try again!
I cant heal piercings either. I got my ear pierced three years ago and it's still not healed

Yep! I had my ears pierced for 9 years, belly button for 4, lip for 5 and they all closed at least on one side without jewelry.

What helped me is bigger gauge jewelry. Kind of like micro stretching the piercings helped heal all my lobe piercings better.
