Not sure what topic this would be under. I had recently had my ears pierced a few weeks ago. I took the new earrings a few day ago as my ears was a bit sore. I noticed it seems I can't see the holes. Took me an hour or so just hunting the spot of the piercings. Ouch. Now I got starter earrings in there. They're small so they won't hurt as I sleep. I'll swap them out when I want to wear my pride earrings. Well it was my first time dealing with earrings issue like this lol.
That's a common problem. They do say to leave the starter studs in for a few weeks.
I had one hole close up on me and had to get it re-pierced. I had the original piercings done with a piercing gun at a hair salon, but I don't recommend that. For the re-piercing, I went to a tattoo and piercing studio. The guy looked as scary as the premises, but he was scrupulous about cleanliness, even changing gloves between ears and did a good job.
I still have trouble sometimes finding the holes. To minimize that (and to minimize my own dysphoria) I keep earrings in at all times except when I sleep. Around the house, I usually just wear small silver ball studs. It makes a difference which earrings I wear, for getting them in. The post sizes are different. Getting a pair with fat posts in is difficult. But once I have them in, changing to a pair with smaller posts is easy, because the holes are stretched out.
