Ear piercing infection
I got my ear pierced two months ago, and I had a little bleeding when I took it out after a month. So I put it back in for it to heal fully, but that one particular ear swells from time to time and pains a lot. Even when I pull it by mistake sometimes it swells a lot. This is my 5th time trying to pierce and I don't want my holes to close up hence I'm not taking them out.
