A torn earlobe will likely require surgical repair rather than healing on its own, especially if it's significantly stretched or torn. The best treatment involves surgical closure of the tear, and you'll need to wait several weeks to re-pierce the ear.

I've struggled with weight loss through diet and exercise because of hormone issues, low motivation, and bad sleep patterns.

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
