I have piercings in my ears and have been recommended by many people to use vitamin E oil, jojoba oil, and emu oil on them to keep them healthy. I have even been told that emu oil can thicken earlobes, which seems a bit outlandish. I wanted to know if and how these oils help the skin if topically applied. I was also wondering if the actual process of massaging oil into the skin and increasing blood flow to the area helps in healthy skin and piercing care.

 Hello,There is not much of dermatologic evaluation done on these applications and especially relating to piercings there are none which I could get access to.So I feel you could discuss with your doctor and decide as to whether you could apply with possible benefits.Best wishes.
