What can I do about the large hole in the back of my ear piercing?

PleaseAssistMe
I got my ears pierced four weeks ago. This morning my earring fell out, so I went to put the post back into my ear lobe. While the front of the piercing looked absolutely normal, the back of the hole was far larger than the front and still appeared raw. Was the backing of the earring on too tight? If so, what can I do to remedy the situation, and will my ear return to normal?
