Comment on Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document

Reversible by the parent, I admit that was pretty unclear. Cartlidge damage like that will eventually close in many cases, but it can take years if it’s been left long enough. However the good news is that the surgery to correct it is incredibly minimal, so if you’re ever looking for that…!

Thanks, in the end I returned to occasionally wearing earrings, so I’m fine with having the holes, but good to know :)
