Got my ear lobe pierced in December but I had to go to school so I took out the earring after 3 weeks and put in the thing from the brush(after soaked in alcohol) and about 2 weeks later I've been taking it out to put in earrings to go out.. its February now and I took it out again and it still hasn't healed yet and still hurts when I try to put earring in and I can feel a lump in each ear lobe by the piercing.. any advice?
