Alright, I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for this (and I deserve it)... I pierced my lobes at home using a safety pin.
I used rubbing alcohol to clean the pin as well as my ear lobes. This was my second set of earlobe piercings - the first set was done by a professional. I have been wearing earrings made out of surgical steel.
At first, I had no problems with the piercings. Now, two/three weeks after doing them, one of them hurts very badly when I turn it, and the area around it is very kind of red and hard. The other one doesn't hurt at all but when I took it out to clean it, there was dark green stuff coming out of it.
I know it was stupid of me to pierce them by myself. Lesson learned.
Now what do I do?
Thanks :) (link)

Obviously its infected but there is no need to run to the doctor right away just clean it with peroxide and rubbing alcohol twice a day. If it doesn't get any better than you can just go to a local clinic, you should be fine.
