Causes Of Earlobe

A split earlobe or enlarged piercing hole can be caused by a variety of factors. In many cases, split earlobes are caused by acute trauma, such as a small child pulling an earring through a piercing hole. 

Alternatively, a dog grabbing an earring that got tangled in something and getting the earring out. Trauma can even result from repeatedly putting on and taking off clothes while wearing earrings. 

The piercing hole is also lengthened when heavy earrings are worn regularly, eventually causing it to pull through. Despite not having pierced ears, split earlobes can occur. 

A split earlobe can occur when clip-on earrings are too tight, restricting the blood flow to the earlobe and resulting in necrosis. There are some other causes of swollen earlobes including:

• When the ear hole is stretched from wearing heavy earrings or large gauges frequently, it can result in stretched ear holes.
• Ear holes that have been torn, usually by snagging or pulling an earring, or by long-term use of heavy earrings or large gauges.
• The bite of a bug.
• Infections of the skin caused by bacteria are known as cellulitis. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and redness. An abscess may also result in fever, nausea, and localized drainage, among other symptoms. Without treatment, the abscess may worsen.
• Swollen earlobes can also be caused by contact dermatitis. Jewelry can cause this reaction due to an allergic reaction to the skin.
• The earlobes can swell when wearing nickel earrings, just as they do when wearing other non-hypoallergenic metals. Preventing symptoms and allowing the ears to recover may be easier by avoiding irritant-containing jewelry.
