I got my dimples pierced 2 days ago and I cant tell if they’re nesting too deeply or if they’re embedding. do i need longer bars? in the second photo im applying pressure from the outside. i feel like they’re nesting too deeply.
update: I got longer bars in today! thank you guys :3
Piercing is two years old, jewelry is titanium and the original size. I have tried sterile saline and litha but those didn't help..
i got this pierced in february and this bump appeared like 1 month after is this rejection? or is this a moisture bump
my nipple piercings are constantly crusty, just wondering if theres anything i can do or if they’re pierced wrong, pls lmk any advice appreciated
been dealing with this for a while a while now and been trying to deal with the slight irritation, been cleaning the area but not sure what to use to fix this. should I take it out?
I've had the piercing since December and I'm not really sure what type of bar it is or anything like that (I kinda got it bc | liked how it would look) So far I used NeilMed to clean the piercing but I'm really bad at not sleeping on the piercing, like my body will literally not allow me to not sleep on my face g, anyways if anyone has any info on how to fix or if I should take it out entirely please let me know
hey-o
so ive had my snakebites for 7 months now. healing was quite the breeze, but i have this persistent issue that ive been holding back from asking you all about since im not even sure if this is all that common of an issue.
my left sides piercing, almost ever since month 2-3, has squeezed out white puss whenever pressure is applied around the lip ring.
its fully white, not like yellowish or redish as if infected
it does not hurt or even feel sore which kinda baffles me
the other side used to do the same but now doesnt.
i am asking if i should CONTINUE to squeeze out this stuff ??
like i said, its not infected and does not hurt in the slightest. and cleaning with saline solution does not seem to lessen the amount of 'puss' so i dont think its a sanitation issue.
from what very little i could see about this issue online, i think its normal to have the puss ??
idk, like i said, im not all that concerned about the CAUSE, moreso im worried that me squeezing the stuff out every other day or so is impeding some inner healing of the piercing at all ??
many thanks in advance and sorry if this is a dumb question !!
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!
So I recently gotten my eyebrow pierced on 3/1/2026 (posting on 5/10/2026), and I’m a little worried about the way my eyebrow piercing is healing. I have an irritation bump on the entrance and have already gotten it downsized from the initial piercing.
It’s internally threaded and titanium grade. I try not to sleep on it, touch it, I spray it with saline once a day, and occasionally clean the crusties around the top when I notice it getting gunky with the edge of a paper towel and q tip.
Before I got it downsized I had a piercing bump on the entrance and exit but the one on the bottom has gone down, so im wondering why the top one hasnt gone away yet. Im also worried about migration/ rejection. Since I’m able to see the bar a little more I’m nervous that it may be pushing out or if thats just the bumps going away.
Provided are the pictures I have of it. 1-3 are today (red due to cleaning), 4 is after downsizing, 5 is when the bumps appeared, 6 is when initial piercing symptoms subsided, and 7 is the same day as the piercing.
Any advice on what to do about the bump or insight on what you guys things would be greatly appreciated, so thank you!
