Having issues with my nipple piercings healing!! help?!
Question: i got my nipples pierced 11 months ago now, they were healing good, compared to my other piercings. except they had this irritating pain, so after 2 months about, i changed them to barbells and everything went great..for awhile! I clean them 2ce/day but some days they start to ache and by the next morning by the opening there is a red crusty bump which always ends up bleeding a couple days later, as well as yellowish discharge. The first time it seemed like my skin was ripping away from the piercing, still having the barbell in, i decided to switch back to hoops cause my nipples were extra sensitive w/ barbells and it hurt to move certain ways after awhile. going back to hoops was fine, my nipples seemed to be healing but then did that bloody puss thing again. finally i put in plastic retainers and i don't have any problems :( but retainers are no fun and are a hassle. Are they still healing? What jewelry would help with this? :( i just feel like taking them out if this doesnt stop D:

Spend the extra money for good barbells. Make sure they are made of the correct metal. I know first hand. Also please be aware that if you have the hoops in for an extended period of time, they can change the shape of your nipple. I always had bars in and had no problems. I decided to take mine out because I would like to have children in the next few years and don't want milk squirting everywhere lol. I only cleaned mine once a day after about 7 months.
ouch why would you that
You might have an infection/ sensitive skin cause I had a yellow dot on my togue when I first got it done and I got scared and took it out ! Also whenever I get the top of my ear done it won't heal right ! I've just come to the conclusion that my skin and piercing's don't match cause I was cleaning mine on the regular too !
