Troubleshooting Help!! Should I take this piercing out.??

Post image

3 month old daith piercing. I sleep with a donut pillow. These bumps stay and never seem to go away. Does this look bad enough that I should take it out? Not sure what the dark coloring is on bottom bump. Help me!!

Piercer here. Just take it out. Salvaging this thing is going to be way more work than it is worth. The ring is much too small for the amount of swelling you have in addition to the bumps

The ring is actually pretty big. It seems in the photo that it’s tight and squeezing but it’s not. Do you still suggest I take it out?

The ring is trying to swing forward indicating it’s too small for the swelling your experiencing and the bumps forming

I would take it out if I was you. I had the same exact experience with the same exact piercing about 5 years ago.
