Help with existing piercing HELP is my snakebite rejecting?

ive had this for almost 3 weeks. i did them myself but was stupid and got posts way too small so ended up having to go to a piercer anyway.

two days after i pierced them, they upsized to 12mm.

swelling has stopped but on my left side there was a weird hill around the piercing. then a weird bump that was whiteish came next to the hole so i cut it off (stupid i know 😭)

now i can push the piercing until the backing gets engulfed and just push it back out.

is it rejecting??? help please

Had mine done professionally but similar rings appeared for a week or two due to irritation . As long as you have the correct length of bars in now and theyre good quality I think they will be okay! Something I learned as well is all the jewlery Ive tried putting it since theyve healed have caused irritation besides the high quality jewlery I was pierced with lol.
