Piercing bump

Sorry, I didn’t know where to post it (what category) soooo just put it here.

Basically I got my helix piercing in April (2022).

And it was fine at first but after a while it started swelling up & it just never seems to heal! I’ve always kept it clean w saline solution and all of that (2-3 times a day). I thought the swelling would go down so I didn’t do anything else (just kept cleaning) until like a few weeks ago cuz I finally realized that the problem might be that the bar is too short. Sooo I ordered longer bars. Cleaned / sanitized the bar before putting it in (and area around where my ear is pierced).

But now I’ve got a piercing bump and it looks big!

I just want my piercing to heal!!!!

I love it so much so don’t rlly wanna take it out, I regret not going to a professional place to get it done tho. But what should I do y’all?

Here’s the bump:
