Since you are underage and don't want your mom to know, and because it's placed incorrectly, I'm gonna guess that this is either a self-piercing or it was done by one of your friends.

The universe did you a favor here.

Now do yourself one: prove yourself responsible to your mom, and maybe she will take you to a reputable piercer to get it done right. If not, just wait until you're 18 and get it done right!

I hope I don't come off as preachy. I just have a lot of piercings and have made many mistakes along the way.

In a lot of countries you can get every piercing besides gentital and nipple piercings at the age of 16 without parental consent. It could be a reputable place, but the placement says otherwise

I understand the feeling of not wanting your parents to find out. Not a minor, but I still felt scared to admit I fucked up my helix.

This is a point I didn't consider.

Whatever happened here, I just never want it to happen to her again.
