I have a question with a picture too! all be it not the nicest picture ever xD. Anyway I had my nipple re-pierced at the beginning of the year an it healed fine. Over the last few months its developed a little puss lump that doesnt want to see to go away :(. I’ve tried salt soaks an changing the bar for a longer one but nothing seems to work, any advice pretty please? thankies

Hi,

For starters I’d say that the length of that barbell is too long, even in an attempt to troubleshoot the problem. Was this done via your personal idea, or did a piercer suggest putting in a longer barbell and the sea salt soaks?

When doing the sea salt soaks how are you actually doing them? how much salt to water ratio? How long are you soaking the piercing for?

Usually a good idea to do hot compresses using a clean lint-free face cloth. You can try just using water (preferably distilled) although some piercers also suggest making a hot salt water compress instead. Not to mention another option is Chamomile Tea Bag compresses.

Any of these are honestly an option you should try as the hot compression of the moist cloth/tea bag will help open up the pores and either drain the problem area or bring it to the surface.

As for why its occurring more lifestyle troubleshooting would have to be done in order to pin point exactly WHY its doing this, if it occurs often,etc.

But definitely try one of the three hot compress ideas that was mentioned above for at least a week and see if the problem is reduced.
