A month or so back I got a PA and I probably didn’t wait long enough and caved to carnal temptations within a week. What my question is regards to seems to be from what I understand hypertrophic scarring, it seems to be pierced through the frenum and there is a build up of tissue around the piercing itself just below the glans where it exits, I’m assuming that it’s due to the piercing not being healed before having sex. I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to get rid of this tissue? The tie off method sprung to mind, any ideas?

Cheers in advance,

Before you start wrapping dental floss around your penis or trying some other crazy homemade concoction (no pun intended), I’m going to make one suggestion…wait.

it is not uncommon with PA piercings, and many other piercings, to have some excess tissue build-up during the initial healing. It’s also pretty common for that tissue build-up to go away once the piercing heals a bit more and toughens up, thereby not being as easily irritated from friction and movement.

A month is virtually no time at all, in terms of the piercing healing…you haven’t even gotten through the initial healing phase, let alone any type of longer-term healing and toughening. I would suggest leaving things be for the moment and just try to be a little nicer to the ol’ boy for the next little while. You don’t necessarily need to deny our carnal desires, just take it easy for a bit.
