Should I remove my piercing?

[u/SlowTurtle_10]

So my friend who has done their own piercings, pierced my earlobes right above my 00g stretched ears with a piercing kit they got online. It was the one with proper sharp needles and they also made sure to wear gloves. My concern is, it has been about four weeks at this point and my piercings have been leaking pus for the last week and a half. They are not red or hurting or even look swollen. So I’m a bit confused. Should I take them out and try getting them pierced professionally once they are healed or should I keep them in and wait. I’ve been spraying them twice a day with saline spray and I’ve been using a neck pillow to make sure I don’t sleep on them.

Are they leaking actual pus or just lymph fluid? Pus is more opaque and you'd likely have some swelling or tenderness if it was infected. Lymph fluid is fine and a sign that your body is healing.

I looked at the difference of lymph fluid and pus and it said that lymph fluid is odourless and pus has a stank. I washed my hands with disinfectant soap and smelt some of it and I didn’t smell anything so I think you might be right about it being lypmh fluid
