Most women (and many men) love all types jewelry, rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earings. While they can all be beautiful, only one can cause an injury to the surrounding skin–the earing. Earrings have been described in text as old as the Bible and Torah. As earrings have continued to grow in size, they can be very heavy and even stretch out the earing hole. Overtime, they can cause the earlobe to tear, split, or stretch preventing the person from being able to wear earrings. Women who wear large hoop earrings are also at a greater risk for earlobe splitting, tearing, or trauma. While tearing your earlobe can be upsetting, it can be easily repaired in a quick office procedure.
