I’ve had my VCH pierced for going on 4 years this May. A couple days ago, my clit and hood area around the piercing became a little itchy, red and inflamed. It began producing a white gunk that doesn’t smell foul. Should I just begin sea salt soaks and let this clear up on its own? COuld it be irritation from the jewelry, as I”m still using the same piece of jewelry that it was pierced with 4 years ago? Is my problem as simple a solution of changing the barbell?

Thanks!

It could be that the jewelry you’re wearing is slowly corroding in your piercing and causing the irritation. There’s a good chance that the jewelry has something stuck to it and needs to be removed for a good cleaning and irrigation of the piercing itself.

I would switch the jewelry out to an implant grade material like ASTM F138 stainless steel or ASTM F136 Titanium if you’re not wearing it already.
