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?

Nipple Piercing Not Healing (I think)?
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.

This is the only way to tell what's truly going on with it.


You can't really know from people on Yahoo answers who aren't examining it and may not know what they are talking about.


Good luck. :)
Reply:use witch hazel you can buy it anywhere comes in a bottle like alcohol or peroxide what you need to do is fill the cap and submerge your nipple in the witch hazel, then grab the jewelry and move it back and forth through the hole throughout the day you should wash your hands and move the jewelry so nothing attaches to it during the healing process. you should be fully healed in 2 to 3 weeks
Reply:you could be illergick to it or use neosporin
Reply:I had that problem when I got my belly button pierced. my dr told my to soak it in peroxide twice a day for 5 minutes and then use a shot glass of 1 tsp pure seasalt and hot water as hot has you can stand it and soak it 3 - 4 times a day. and move the piercing around so the peroxide and seasalt water get all over the ring and cleans the hole. Good luck and I hope it heals soon. My belly button took about a full month for the infection to clear and 8 all together. Even when your infection is gone use the peroxide at least once and seasalt at least twice to keep it clean and clear of future infections. Until the piercing is fully healed
