POMEGRANATE TREE Punica granatum. The Pomegranate tree is an ornamental shrub producing fruit with a hard, leathery deep red or yellow rind. When opened the fruit exposes shimmering translucent kernels.
Earlobe piercings typically heal completely within 4 to 6 weeks. However, ear cartilage piercings -- such as a tragus, conch or helix piercing -- do not heal fully for 3 to 6 months. Swelling and redness usually resolve fairly quickly, typically within about a week.
Cartilage piercings take significantly longer to heal than those that go through a flap of skin, like an earlobe. If you remove a ring from a nostril piercing that is less than 6 months old, the hole closes within a matter of days. If your piercing is healed, the hole on the outside of the nostril might stay open for several weeks. Removing the ring from a new nostril piercing can cause it to close up within 24 hours. The inside of the nostril is lined with mucous membranes, which seal shut quickly without jewelry in them. The hole on the outside of your nose will remain open longer.
