Horizontal hood piercing issue?

About five weeks ago, I did my hood piercing myself, horizontal, and it wasn’t completely straight, but I didn’t mind. It was my third self done vaginal piercing, and I figured since those two were doing great (two fourchette piercings), this would be no worse. And here’s the bad part. Often, I partake in sexual activity. For the first three weeks of having this piercing, I tried to keep it to a minimum, but as the weeks progressed, I increased it, and one day, it began to hurt excessively, so I took it out. Everything seemed to be normal at first, but now, as I touch the spot where the holes were, the tissue seems rock solid. As if there was crusting and the skin just grew over it. It doesn’t hurt, it’s just very hard. I begin to worry that it’s something serious. What could this be, is it treatable, and should I worry? Thanks so much, BME.
Most likely the hardness that you are feeling is some scar tissue. If the piercing was hurting to the point of needing to remove it, that is a good indication that something wasn’t right. It could be that the placement wasn’t good. It could be that it was simply too soon for your particular body/piercing to be having sex again. It could be that the particular type of sex you were having was irritating the piercing. As a result, your body created excess scar tissue to try and protect itself from the source of irritation.
You should find that the tissue returns to something much closer to normal tissue as time goes on. Your body will just need a little time to get back to “normal”.

WTH?! Why would someone take such a chance of wrecking their hoohaw like that?!
MsMoon on July 2nd, 2008 at 7:33 amPeople have all sorts of reasons for wanting to do piercings, and other modifications, on themselves. It’s not always the best choice, but sometimes it is. Regardless of how it works out, that’s one of the amazing and wonderful things about body modification…it’s your body and you can do what you like with it.
There is all kinds of stuff on BME that I simply don’t understand people’s motivations. But I’m sure glad that everyone out there doing all the stuff I don’t “get” has the option to do it to themselves.
Derek Lowe on July 2nd, 2008 at 11:56 pmI have a 2-year-old self done VCH and there’s a bit of hardness around the hole when I take the jewelry out. It feels like when you remove an earring from your lobe and there’s a little bit of something, tissue, from where the fistula formed inside. Its hard like hard rubber but not rock hard (best I can describe it).
