Is my nipple piercing infected?!


Question: Is my nipple piercing infected!?
I got them done about 4 or 5 months ago!. One is perfectly fine, but the other one has a sort of red rash on the normal skin under the nipple, which also sometimes leaks some liquid!. not huge amounts, just what looks like water!.
Is this an infection!? And how do i get rid of it!? Preferably without going to a doctor!.
It also gets itchy sometimesWww@Answer-Health@Com

When I had my nipples pierced, one healed fine but the other one gave me trouble!.

I would suggest that if you're using a ring, change it out for a barbell instead!. A barbell won't pull as much inside your clothes!. There's also something a lot of tattoo places carry called H2Ocean!.!.!.it's salt water type spray that you can just spray onto the nipple!. It's a lot easier to use than a cup of salt water!.

And about the itching, there is a possibility that it's infected!. But also, itching is something your body does when it's healing!. You ever notice that a cut itches after it's started to heal!? If you are absolutely bent on not going to the doctor, you could always go back to the piercer who did it and see what they have to say!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had my nipple pericing do that and it is infected!. I dont know what you would do to help heal it!. I guess when you first get it periced its good to wash it with salt water, so try doing that to clean it out, and put polysporn on it!. It helps in the healing of cuts and wounds!.
But when I had mine, I just took the peircing out and it healed like nothing!. Felt MUCH better!. You should either take it out or find a way for it to heal before it will leave large scars when you eventually do take itout!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well if one does it and the other doesnt, im guessing its infected!. if you dont wanna go to a doctor, try cleaning it or if worst comes to worst, take it out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
