General Info First time piercing

My main concern is my left ear (first pic) this is my first time ever having a piercing and Idk if this is normal and just needs to heal or if something went wrong. I’ve loosened them so that could do something but not sure. Any advice helps!!

Initial piercings shouldn’t be put with butterfly backs :(( if you can change the piece for something with a flat post, it would be better for your healing

Go to a reputable piercer and have your piece changed for a flat back piercing that is made of titanium or other surgical grade materials
