I posted about a month ago about my VCH. It was suggested that I changed the jeelery.. Here’s some background. I got it pierced 4.28 with a 14 g 3/8 curved barbel. Well about a month ago it started to hurt. So I had the bar lengthened because my piercer thought it was too short. They I had the style changed to a straight. And it still effing hurts. Infact, it hurts more. What can I do? I love this piercing but this isn’t worth it if I can’t make it stop. Its a constant deep bruise feeling all over it, but im not swollen or infected. Please help.
I’m personally not a fan of straight barbells in VCH piercings. I find them to be uncomfortable, even in a well-healed piercing. If I recall rightly, you stated that it was fine to start with and then it just flared up? Try a titanium curved barbell and see if that makes a difference - the metal is lighter than steel and it is hypo-allergenic due to it being nickel-free. Also, avoid wearing restrictive clothing like tight jeans for a couple of weeks until the piercing feels happy. It’s a good idea not to use any kind of soap products in that area too. It could also be a placement issue but that’s the best I can do, really, without actually seeing the piercing myself.

I had a curved titanium and the way im built, the barbel was twisting in the piercing which is what started it. It had been completely upside down and the was turned to the left. I can send you a picture but I don’t know if that would help. I love my piercing but im in a shit ton of pain.

I think I may give it a couple more days. I haven’t really heard of anyone having pain after 2 months.
Angel.dust on May 14th, 2008 at 9:17 pmi wear a straight bar in mine, always have, and it’s never been a problem for me. however, i have a friend who switched from straight to curved in hers and said it made a big difference. probably a matter of personal preference and anatomy. i did, however, have issues with it twisting itself around until i bought shorter jewelry for it. in my case, downsizing from 3/8ths to 5/16ths, but obv that’s going to be a matter of anatomy.
AeChei on May 16th, 2008 at 1:45 amI would definitely try a couple things: go to a different piercer and get another opinion, go with a curved barbell for sure, and possibly try stretching up to a 12 ga or possibly even a 10. Sometimes a 14 is just too thin.
Star on May 16th, 2008 at 2:38 amI’ve seen 2 piercers. The straight bar isn’t the problem. The curved bar was a huge problem. its just the right length. And its still acting up. I think im going to have to let it go.
