Help!!
I have had my nape piercing for almost two years, and no problems yet.
About two weeks ago I noticed this cut or scar directly underneath the nape.
I thought it was maybe just a coincidence? And was hoping it had nothing to do with the nape?

I have been touching it lots ( I know… baaad)
And now the one side is forming not a bump.. but just seems infected.
Does it look like it is rejecting??
I really want to save my nape, and just need an opinion if it is rejecting or if there is anything I can put on it to make it heal?
I have been applying tea tree oil… anything else?
HELP GUYS.. I love my nape.. and ill be soo sad if it is rejecting 
Thanks
Stop putting tea tree oil on it, PLEASE stop touching it and see a doctor immediately. You’ve got something seriously wrong with that piercing and it requires medical attention ASAP.
It is certainly rejecting, your body does not want it and I’d definitely assume you’ve got a good infection going on in there.
You will likely be required to remove the jewelry (It doesn’t look like it’s appropriate jewelry for a nape piercing anyway) but you could always consider having it repierced after you’ve had some treatment and it’s had time to heal up (a few months)
Seek out a reputable piercer using implant grade surface barbell jewelry and experience with surface piercings.
Good luck!

it always amazes me that when something is wrong with a piercing, the first thing people do is touch it alot, usually with unclean hands!!

Ace on February 13th, 2009 at 6:01 pmI once saw a girl who had her nape pierced for two years (not my me, but pierced well), she got a staph infection in the piercing. It was crazy looking.
JD on March 21st, 2009 at 7:31 pmBy the amount of bar showing on either side it looks as if its rejecting… Sorry to tell you… Its probably best to take it out as soon as possible before it leaves a really bad scar.
