Is Earring Being Pushed Inside The Ear Without Pain Harmful?

I am seventeen, no preexisting conditions. I got my ear lobes pierced about two weeks ago and they are showing no signs of infection or anything like that. I have noticed that whenever I wake up, my left earring has been pushed inside the ear, with only the top of the earring still visible. It is not painful, and I just push it back out. I have also been taking accutane for a little over a week (I didn t know that you shouldn t get piercings while taking the drug). Are my ears okay?

Hello,

I think your ear is okay but until examination it is difficult to say how is the site of piercing. If your piercing ear lobes then how your ear rings will enter into the ears I didn't understand.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
