I got my seconds done back in mid january of this year. this specific piercing was bumped a few times and a few weeks ago was yanked. it’s been swollen for awhile but it was especially bad today. i was wearing hoops and thought my other earring was just hitting  it too much, but upon further inspection the piercing seems really swollen and you can feel the bump near it. i can’t really tell if it was embedded or not? i messed around with it a bit before realizing it was swollen so it got extra irritated. it doesn’t hurt, and wasn’t feeling warm until i started touching it too much. it only hurt after the initial yank a few weeks ago (probably like 2-3 weeks ago) and occasionally if it was irritated. my other piercing feels completely fine and i haven’t removed the starter piercing so this is what i’ve had since it got pierced. for the first month and a half to 2 months i used saline solution multiple times a day to clean it and avoided bumping/touching it as much as possible. it was feeling mostly fine until the yank but it’s been on and off irritated/swollen and has randomly hurt since it got pierced. when i messed with it today it started oozing a whitish/clear liquid, and when i realized i just cleaned it with saline solution and left it alone. i’m worried it’s infected but don’t want to go to the doctor if it’s not because i can’t afford it. i haven’t felt off besides a stuffy nose last week that i attributed to allergies. the ear once it stopped being so irritated also stopped feeling warm. any suggestions? sorry if this is silly i just want to be sure in case i need to head to the doctor. 

is my piercing infected or irritated
