Letting piercing holes close?
I have seen several questions, mostly from males, who got one or both ears pierced and later want to let their piercing holes close up and hopefully disappear. Why do you no longer want to have your ears pierced and want your piercing holes to close up? I am a caucasian man whose ears have been pierced for 40+ years and still enjoy wearing earrings.

There could be several reasons people stop wearing earrings. In the case of a younger man it could be pressure from a girlfriend or wife. It could also be concern about getting or keeping a job, although I doubt how many employers would even notice if a man's ears were pierced unless they were also stretched. It could be that some men would prefer to forget about some of the things they did when they were younger.
Women seem to develop allergies to their earrings more than men do and stop wearing their earrings because of this. Since they are no longer wearing earrings and they want their complexions to be absolutely perfect they would like their piercing holes to disappear.

most probably cause they've done it for fashion and not by choice
