Earring Backing stuck in my ear lobe

[Breathful]

So I've been having some issues with my stud in my left ear, and today in Math I saw that only a small portion (1/3) of the earring backing that holds my earring in place was present. I thought "Where did the rest of it go!?!?" when I realized that it was somehow INSIDE of my ear lobe. A good centimeter was inside of there, and the skin had grown around the backing leaving a tiny portion out of my ear. I took out the stud, which left the backing inside my ear. I told my math teacher to let me go to the bathroom, finally I called him a fruit - cup and walked out to the clinic. Eventually I got home, and my dad numbed it with some cream, gave me a pain-killer, and took tweezers and some how pulled it out. My ear was a 16g and now the back of my ear is an 8g (roughly) do to this. But at least it's out.

Has anyone else had this happen to them??? D:

Sounds awful D: I don't have piercings so it hasn't happened to me. I seem to remember it happened to someone in year 7, but being a long time ago I can't remember much.

Atleast its out now!

I had my lboes re-pierced when I was 11 and they got infected like that I had to get the earring that had gone right in to my ear pulled out with something sharp at a hospital and after that they were oozing red liquid, but I have them re-pierced and many other piercings now and they're fine

My friend in high school has this happen to her. She was dead set against piercing her ears for years and eventually she has them done and get's one stuck in her ear. Think they had to cut her ear open to get it out though!
