okay, so.. i've had my ears pierced for about 6 & a half years now and it started swelling afew days ago, so i took them out. i left them out for 2 days because it was to painful to put them back on and now when i tried to put them back on i couldn't get the earring through. my mum said my right ear had healed at the back and she couldn't see a hole anymore and now theres a pimple-like thing where the piercing used to be! my left ear is fine, theres no swelling or anything and i can get the earring through perfectly, it's mainly my right ear that im concerened about. the same thing happened to my sister afew years ago, her ear piercing got infected and she took it out and then it healed over.

will both my ears completely heal over too? and if so how long should i wait before i get it re-pierced again? is it normal for a piercing to heal over after 6 years or so? will there be any scars? will there be any problems when i get it re-pierced?
