Nipple piercing help?

Nipple piercing help?

Hi all!

I got my nipples pierced on April 30th, so my piercing is a week and a half old. I got pierced with barbells, internally threaded I believe. It has not been downsized. I wash them twice a day, once in the shower and once out with only warm enough water to help the crusties go away. My piercer suggested against saline wash, so I haven’t been using it. But i can change my aftercare routine if necessary!

I am a big chested woman but have not been wearing tight or wired bras, mostly loose t shirts or a shirt with a built in padding so it’s a lot looser. I am also a side sleeper but make sure to adjust my breasts before sleeping as to not crush them. I have had a few bumps here or there on table edges, but nothing that caused severe pain or discomfort. I don’t have a lot of pain or soreness and never really did. The crusties started after about 3-4 days.

About 3 days ago, I had a scab on my nipple that fell off. Since falling off, it seems like the hole has gotten bigger and there appears to be some dry skin which are definitely signs of rejection, but I wanted to know what you all thought. It also looks like the ball is putting enough pressure on my areola to cause some wrinkling but that also hasn’t caused pain or anything.

I can get in with my guy very quickly to take a look at them but I wanted Reddit’s opinion first!
