I'm having a major piercing problem. My body has never been very good with artificial holes -- piercings take forever to heal, almost always leaving a nice big keloid behind. A few years ago, over a decent period of time, I ended up with about 24 holes in my ears -- 12 in each, outer ear lobe and up, nothing too fancy-dancy. I ended up letting 14 of the holes grow over because they weren't healing -- sleeping on either side was a bitch.
I recently started the process over again -- managed to re-pierce a few of the closed holes, but they're not healing well either. So what the hell? I've had to fight with piercings before -- the worst was my nose piercing, which for the first year or two developed this huge inner nostril keloid bumpy thing that hurt like a motherfucker. I eventually got pissed off and stuck a pair of scissors up my nose and cut the damned thing off -- it seemed to do the trick because my nose ring has now been happy for over a decade.
But what to do about these ears? Does anyone have any advice? I know that I'm sensitive to crappy metals, so I need to go buy something good. And I know that I hate studs. Should I just go to a professional piercer and shell out the big bucks to get the things done right? If so, can any of you recommend a good piercer in the Cleveland area?
And finally . . . I think that Bush is a fucking Nazi. Do you people realize how evil the Patriot Act is? I'm probably going to be sent back to Canada for saying that. Evil. Evil. Evil.

never use any of theose things, infact curasol should only be used in serious moderation Once the healing gets going you should use saline or sea salt as those are the most effective mthods . When you use the curasoluses very little on both sides of each hole and make sure if it's still wet after a while you wipe it off (extended wetness will attract bacteria). You can get curasol from a store online or from a hospital It's usually $14 a tube but it's worth every penny!

I had my upper left ear pierced about 6 years ago, and it has never healed! What's the story with that?
