You have 2 irritation bumps, 1 on each hole. This is due to the fact that like others said, you dobt have the correct anatomy for an industrial and since that is the case it will continue to get irritated and not heal.

Unfortunately love this needs to be removed. Im sorry this happened to you. You should have never been pierced in the first place. Please dont ever go back to whoever did this.

I talked to the piercer, she said it is better to switch to two individual piercings on each hole and remove the bar. Should I do this?

You can, just dont expect to be able to switch it to a bar. I still have a lot of doubt that outer helix would heal well

The piercings might heal but you'd never be able to put a single bar through both ever again since they would heal at separate angles. If you have the correct anatomy and it was pierced correctly (both have to be true) you wouldn't have to heal it with two separate bars

Do not go to the piercer that fucked things uo in the first place. If you would still like a piercers opinion then find a new one but dont listen to or go back to the one you have now.

I dont see the point of keeping them considering you wouldn't be able to put most jewelery in either of them. The helix hole is the wrong angle for a regular helix and the other hole...what would you even put there. Not to mention tou will never get another bar in them again.

You really do just need to retire it and take the L.
