Hi! I have an issue with a piercing that I had for like 8 months. It appeared healed so like a month ago I tried to change it to a hoop myself but ended up irritating the canal. I went back to the piercer for a consult and she said the piercing healed well and its ok to change but that I did a little damage trying to take it out (i got my hair caught around the bar eugh). Anyway she said I should be fine with a hoop if I want one.
Anyway lately I had some ear canal issue so I put on some cream and I think maybe it irritated it? Then I bumped it a bunch and it really hurt and today it bled and emitted white gunk.
I cleaned it up a little and it doesnt hurt but Im worried. Should I perhaps switch back and ditch the hoop? I dont want to loose the piercing...
