Drink the Gin or Vodka.

Surgical spirit or any available alcohol (gin, vodka etc) should work x

Try it and see, I have bought quite a few ‘modern’ pairs of gold earrings and have found that they are a bit too thick to go through the holes,if I push them through anyway, my ear lobes get very hot and sore, my old earrings don’t cause me any problems. I have several pairs that I can’t wear.

Hello all, and sending every good wish.

Now, having had a really rather radical change of hair style, wink I have decided to start wearing earrings again, having not bothered for yonks, apart from special occasions, which seem to be very few and far between.

I am fortunate to have a large collection of earrings, some subtle studs and some not so subtle, verging on flamboyant!

The holes in my ears haven't closed, but I'm finding that even though I wash and clean the earrings before fumbling about putting them in, my lobes are NOT happy, and feel a bit hot and sore sad

Would wiping them (and the earrings) over with surgical spirit help?
