I don't like my piercing. Can I take it out?

e-mail question:
I've had my eyebrow piercing for at least 4 months but it keeps getting infected. I clean it with antibacterial soap, and my piercist told me to put peroxide on it. It goes down after a few days, but when it's hot outside and I sweat, it gets back infected. This time when it goes down I want to take out. I don't even want it anymore. Do you think it's a good idea to take it out?

e-mail reply:
If you do not like it, remove it. You are master of your destiny.
