Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are on right line of treatment.
But many a time due to wearing earing or putting thread for piercing might not allow for perfect healing.
In this situation you have to remove thread or earing to get complete healing.
After healing you can wear earings, but there is a chance of blocking of ear prick.
But there wont be any problem for wearing earings.
Ok and bye.
