Im getting really frustrated with my vertical piercings, got them done approx 2 years ago and they are still not fully healed. The right one is mostly there i believe, still gets stuff on them everyday though,crusties and/or a little bit of scabbing now and again.. i clean this off everynight with warm water. The Left one is not so happy though, its been a bit of a problem since the day i got it done, its a little deeper than the rite one as well. This one has a bump next to the bottom hole, it gets flared up and quite sore from time to time, its got a thin scaley skin on top of it… i can pretty much always feel that the piercing is there throughout the day,little pains here and there kinda thing.. This one tends to bleed with the slightest aggrivation as well…

- Note that when they were done, the piercer put waaaaay to short barbells in! I got these changed after much pain and the ball ends sinking in and making craters in my skin, Since i had recently changed over my monroe piercing to bioplast, i asked if this was a good idea for my nipples as well, she said yes. was this rite? They seemed fine for the first while, but lately seem like they barbells are still kind of short for the peircing… -

As for care, all i have been doing is cleaning them off every night before bed with warm water, and using a gentle soap around the area and rinsing them off when im in the shower. I try to bug them as little as possible…

I knew what my doctor would say, but i asked him the other day what he suggests and he said to “Take Them Out Immediately!”, when i voiced my concern about taking an angry piercing out, he said to do it anyways, and see how they heal up… i asked if there was anything i needed to use specifically, and he said no, just take them out, and if they dont heal, come back….. this doesnt seem rite to me … not to mention i do kinda wanna keep them.. but i am willing to take them out at this point if they arnt going to heal….

Sorry for the Novel to read…. ANy suggestions at this

Don’t wear bioplast. That stuff is garbage.
While my advice does not supercede the advice of any medical professional, my personal opinion is this:
If you think you need longer barbells in your nipple piercings - go get ‘em!

Vertical nipple piercings tend to be a bit fussier than horizontal ones depending on the shape of the breast and can often run into issues with swelling.
You piercer may have miscalculated the length of the barbells still as well as the size of the balls themselves.
Keep up with your aftercare regime. Sounds simple enough! Although I’d do the soap around the surrounding area FIRST and then flush the piercings out withs saline later.
