I’ve had my rook pierced for 7 months, and it’s done wonderfully. I know that they take quite a while to fully heal, but I’ve noticed that mine still excretes a little bit of lymph when I soak it (I soak every other say for 5-10 minutes). Is this normal? could it be doing this because I still soak it so regularly?

Thanks!

That’s pretty normal and nothing to worry about at all. Salt water soaks promote lymphatic drainage, that’s why they’re great for healing piercings, so if it’s ever going to lymph a bit, it’s going to be after a soak. I’d say keep it up until it’s well and truly healed, most cartilage piercings like rooks can take a year or longer to full settle in!
