Hi!

About a month ago I got my inner conch punched at a 4g and immediately stretched to a 2. I’d like to be able to take out the jewelry, but I’m scared the hole will start to close. How do I make sure the hole doesn’t close on me overnight?

Dermal punches take quite awhile to fully heal and settle enough to hold their size and shape without the need for jewelry. This is not always the case, as every person can heal differently.In any case it is very unlikely that your punch will hold its size at one month.

If you keep your jewelry in place for a year or more, there will be a much greater chance that it will hold it’s size and shape without the need for jewelry. When you feel that it’s fully healed and settled, you can try taking it out for short periods of time to see if it tightens up much. This way if it closes beyond your desired size you can quickly change your mind and replace your jewelry.
