I recently pierced my earlobes. A few days later a white ring appeared around the jewlery and a day later the white ring surrounding the site looked to be dead skin and detached partially from my other ear skin. my left side just has the white ring but my right side is the partially detached side. I don't know if I need to just let them stay in and if the skin will heal back up or if I need to take them out and get surgery. but I wasn't supposed to get my doubles pierced so please help!!!
