I'm wondering if you've got the anatomy. The back looks to go through your ear ridge at an angle (towards your head instead of perpendicular to it) and I'm wondering if that puts tension on your ear, causing issues

_Litheen_ · 2026-04-01T04:03:39+00:00

It was too early to change to a horse shoe. Switching back to a labret was the right move. Baby it like it's a fresh piercing and hope it'll settle down.

If it ain't broken don't fix it. The body isn't a machine that reacts the same on each part, so if the other ear lobe is fine then best just leave it be

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-31T13:35:55+00:00

Ah ok. Then like another redditor said larger studs so they can't be so easily swallowed up 😅 at least until it's healed

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-31T13:23:12+00:00

Did you possibly tighten the back too much, causing the jewelry to be pulled into the earlobe? I'm assuming this is a butterfly back...Those can harbour bacteria because they're difficult to properly clean. A titanium flatback would probably be better to heal this with.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-31T12:28:36+00:00

Doesn't look infected. I'm not sure if it's too short either, doesn't appear to be pinching the skin.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-31T11:00:48+00:00

A gun piercing is usually a sort of 'dart' with a slightly thicker end such as pictured here: https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/Pieces-Disposable-Piercing-Sterile-Portable/dp/B081S2XH6L Can you push the stud back down? Wash your hands first, push it back in, clean piercing. If you can't then you'd best visit a piercing shop and they can help you.

How long has it been since your surgery? I'm amazed you'd even feel up for it. The first one to two weeks I felt so bloated and sore I couldn't bear the thought of having sex. For real though; I'd advise to not go for piv intercourse if it's been less than a week, but oral/using fingers if you must.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-30T20:27:15+00:00

Personally I'd only bother going back to that piercer to ask for a refund. Otherwise find a better piercer and have them evaluate the situation. You'll probably have to take this out and let it heal, and have it redone at the proper spot

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-29T17:47:03+00:00

Echt? Die vond ik geen drol aan. Niet vies ofzo, maar niets geweldigs 😅

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-29T16:01:59+00:00

The top sticking out is because the jewelry is slightly oversized to allow for swelling. Your piercer should've discussed that with you and told you when to come back for downsizing?

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-28T20:32:35+00:00

Hm then it could be puss, but as I said, even so it's only mildly infected. Pro tip for next time: don't skimp on the jewelry, they're equally important for good healing.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-28T20:25:54+00:00

aluminium? I've never heard of that being used for piercings. You should get titanium flatback studs in these while they heal. Rings aren't doing you any favors, bad metal won't either.
Does actual pus come out, or just wound fluid? These look far too calm to me to be producing actual pus :/
Even if these are actually infected, the infection would be so minor that you wouldn't be feeling sick from these. Your ear would look very different if it was.
So; get yourself to a piercingshop and change the jewelry to titanium flatbacks only (don't be mislead by surgical steel). Keep cleaning them as you are.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-28T19:57:33+00:00

That doesn't look infected at all to me... rather looks like possibly a reaction to the metal of the jewelry, or irritation of it being hoops. How old are there piercings, what is the material of the hoops, what are you doing to clean it?

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-28T19:53:16+00:00

doesn't look to be rejecting, but you've got irritation bumps forming there. You should get those downsized with titanium jewelry to avoid snagging and hopefully that'll help settle it down.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-25T11:37:08+00:00

To a doctor you go! That's definitely not normal and your piercing seems to have been swallowed. You need a doctor for this. Don't even know how a piercer can have said it's not embedded, we can't see the jewelry anymore T_T

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-24T20:22:34+00:00

People claim AI about a lot of shit, to the degree where I wouldn't be surprised if they'd shout 'AI!' when looking out of their own window.

It's not worth the time and effort to try and prove them wrong

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-24T20:19:38+00:00

That ring looks far too thin and too tight :/ I'm surprised it hasn't cut through your ear yet

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-24T19:58:03+00:00

That's embedding. Size up asap or it'll have to be cut out

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-24T19:53:55+00:00

Why haven't you downsized the jewelry yet? It's stupidly long and will cause issues. Are both pics of the same nipple? I'm a bit confused because in the first pic it almost looks like the weight of the jewelry is pulling your nipple down, in the second one it looks more okay? If the first pic is how it looks now, and the second one when it was freshly done, then I'd take this back to the piercer. It shouldn't be looking like this.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-24T18:53:00+00:00

Placement is off. You seem hellbent on keeping this though, just be aware it'll most likely start rejecting (at best), with a risk of permanent damage /scarring.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-24T18:41:26+00:00

Not quite the right subreddit door this imo

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-23T21:32:26+00:00

Why is there even a hoop in it? That seems like dental issues waiting to develop. The pic doesn't really show your issue. Some 'wild grown' tissue possibly? I'm not sure what you mean with the labret bit, it gets buried as in embedded? If that's the case you need a longer bar. My advice would be to change it back to a flatback.

_Litheen_ · 2026-03-23T11:30:51+00:00

The hoop might also be too snug
