What is how to take off screw earrings that are stuck?

Here's how to handle stuck screw-back earrings:

  • Don't Force It: The most important thing is to avoid pulling or yanking, as this can cause pain, irritation, or even injury to your earlobe.

  • Lubrication: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the front and back of the earring. Good options include:

    • Baby oil
    • Mineral oil
    • Petroleum jelly (like Vaseline)
    • Ear piercing aftercare solution Gently massage the lubricant around the screw threads.
  • Gentle Wiggling: After applying lubricant, gently wiggle the earring back and forth. Try to rotate it slowly as you wiggle. This can help work the lubricant into the threads and loosen any debris.

  • Warm Compress: Applying a warm compress to the earlobe can help to relax the tissues and potentially loosen any built-up crust or swelling.

  • Patience is Key: Don't rush the process. It may take several attempts over a period of time to safely remove the earring.

  • Check for Damage: If the earring is visibly damaged (e.g., the post is bent or the screw mechanism is stripped), forcing it could cause further injury.

  • Seek Professional Help: If you've tried these methods and the earring remains stuck, consider seeking help from a piercer or a medical professional. They have specialized tools and expertise to safely remove the earring.
