My ear lobe hole has stretched out and is too big now. Is there any way to shrink it back to normal size without surgery or invasive treatments? I'm worried about how it looks and want a natural fix if possible. What options do I have?

I've been dealing with some acne on my cheeks and have a few blemish scars too. I'm wondering if I can use Klinface A gel again? It was prescribed to me by my dermatologist before and worked really well in about a month. Is it safe for me to start using it again on my own?

Yes you can use it no problem
