Nipple Piercing Not Healing (I think)?!


Question:

Nipple Piercing Not Healing (I think)?

Three years ago I had both my nipples pierced and then two years later lost them when I had to remove them for a surgery. I waited 8 months to have one put back, I had intended to put both back but having them done the second time one was all I could stand. Now it is like my nipple is grabbing a hold of the piercing and won’t let go. About once a week it hearts, and it is like white skin comes out of the hole wrapped tight around the ring. I do clean it every day with Dial soap. Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to make it heal?


Answers:

This is one of those things that needs to be looked at either by a local piercer or your doctor. There are a few things that could be causing this. Scar tissue can push it's way out and looks like a white substance similar to what you described, this is most likely the case but I could not be certain without seeing it. Although if it is not healing as quickly as last time it is probably do to the already existing scar tissue limiting blood flow to the area which can be helped by doing sea salt soaks once a day for 5-10 minutes (1/4 tspn non-iodized sea salt to 8 oz warm water) or spray it with sterile saline wound wash every 3-4 hours and let dryu naturally do not blot dry.
But definately get to your piercer or doctor and have them check it out.
