Ear lobe piercing

2017-12-31 16:42:30
I had a earlobe piecing for the past 4 months and it was still hurting so I decide to change to a gold piercing but the gold piercing after I put it on I felt it was king of heavy and it was making the hole a little bitter so I got frustrated and removed and decide to let the hole close and also before I remove it sometimes a light yellow liquid was coming out sometimes I thought that it was fine to remove it but now I'm having fever and it hurts a lot
