Ear piercing stuck inside my ear lobe

I didn’t take my ear piercing out for a few weeks and now it’s stuck in my ear lobe and it won’t come out as my ear lobe has grown around it, what should I do, does it have to be surgically removed, so I should visit my local GP?

You could try to pull it out but this obviously isn’t safe at all. You’re best off going to the GP

Push it out from the other side so you can get to clip or see GP. Earlobe eats both sides of stud... Not serious, been there!

Okay this is gross

I took the front of the ear out by pulling out and now the small cap is still stuck in my ear there’s blood but no pain is it too unsafe to fiddle and try get the cap out of my lobe because I can feel it
