my piercing is healing beautifully, it’s 7.5 weeks old, but when i move it or touch it it seems like theres a bruise in it, but the bruising when away at 4 weeks. i think i hurt it but i’m not sure.

do you think this will be ok? or is this normal?

p.s i’m suppose to stop cleaning it this friday because it’ll have been 8weeks/2 months

Know that if you continue to poke and prod at your piercing, it will not heal beautifully. As the more you poke and prod at it, the more you are introducing potentially harmful bacteria into and around your piercing. I’m inclined to say that if you would stop touching your piercing, the discomfort you’re feeling, will go away.

Also know that the 8 week/2 month aftercare process is a generalized minimum time frame. Some people will be able to stop the aftercare protocol at 8 weeks time, however sometimes people will need longer. If you have been and continue to keep touching your healing piercing, I’d suggest to continue the aftercare protocols for more then the 8 week period. Even if you make sure you no longer touch your piercing, I’d suggest you continue the aftercare protocol for a few more weeks.

As in this stage of the healing its still not fully healed, its simply at a point where you no longer have to actively follow an aftercare protocol. As your body will, at this point, have healed enough in order to continue the healing process on its own. However like I said the more you do not follow the aftercare protocols, the more complications you introduce to your body and your piercing, the longer its going to be sore/take to heal,etc.
