Ok, I have a painful problem that I can't solve. When my second holes were pierced, they weren't mall piercing gun size. However, I've had standard studs in them for the last eight years. The back of the hole has shrunk, but the front hasn't. I now have an earring in one of these holes that the back won't come off of and I can't tell why. The earring in the hole is getting stuck in the front of the hole and causing pain while I try to pull the back off. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
