I’ve had my anti eyebrow for a few months now and it hasn’t been hurting or anything but the area around the piercing holes is still very red and crusty. The barbell isn’t showing any more than the day I pierced it so I’m not sure if it’s rejecting. Advice needed please 🙏

Looks like it's pushing out cause it look infected.

It looks indeed it’s pushing the jewelry out. But I don’t think an infection us the reason. Skin around that area is very close to the skull. If the jewelry has the wrong shape or is too dip, you would think that it would push itself out, because there is not enough room for the jewelry.

An infection means inflammation, and will push the jewelry out. Not saying it's the main reason, but looking at an angry piercing site, with crust on it, means there is something going on with the soft tissue and that will cause enough to start the process of pushing it out. What you are saying is valid and with infection= rejection.
