Can coconut oil & bandage heal a torn earlobe in 7 days?

Dr Anupam Kanodia, ENT Consultant, says that applying coconut oil plus a bandage on a torn earlobe to heal it in a week is wishful thinking. While coconut oil may soothe and reduce infection risk, a fully torn earlobe needs medical repair. Experts say that viral remedies should not be allowed to delay the care that actually closes the gap and restores the ear's shape.
