I know it's not really skincare but my tragus earring fell out so I was going to pull it out clean it and put a different earring in. I've had my tragus for almost 7 months. When I started pulling it out this happened. What should I do?

I would put the jewelry back in to prevent infection and go in to the piercer tomorrow or call.

That has happened to me multiple times! DO NOT force the jewelry in if it doesn't want to go in. Just go immediately to the place that pierced it...otherwise it will close up pretty soon and then you will have to get it repierced. Don't force jewelry in it yourself or it could get painful and messy. Once they put the jewelry back in just do a long sea salt soak and repeat for a while, and then for the next couple of days. Don't stress, I know it sucks because of the placement. :)

I also have another question should I put tea tree oil on it or do you think it will make it worse?

Diluted tea tree oil should be fine just don't use hydrogen peroxide.
