Three days ago I received a prince albert piercing that was positioned too low on the frenum. After receiving a second opinion from a reputable piercer, I had him remove the piercing. The hole is healthy and not infected. Should I be doing anything to help avoid trapping any potential infection in the open hole? And is there anything I can do to reduce scar tissue while it heals?
I’m inclined to advise you to just let nature take its course. The fact that you removed the piercing within its infancy bodes well for trouble-free healing. Keep well hydrated, maintain a good level of personal hygeine and look after your general health and you shouldn’t have to do anything else.

I have a 2 gauge PA that I would like to turn into a dolphin. I would like the dolphin to be at 2 gauge as well. Is it acceptable to pierce this at 2 gauge? Would/could I pierce at 4 gauge and immediately taper to 2 gauge? What would be the proper way to go about this? Thank you.
Your current PA is more than likely angled towards the head, whereas a pa used for a dolphin would need to be angled towards the body. In my experience the best means of dealing with this would be to pierce the new piercing at a 4 and downsize the existing PA to a 4 as well. Doing so will provide a little wiggle room for the old PA to adjust to the new angle. Stretching both to a 2 should be fairly easy after it’s healed up.
To answer your specific question, yes you could pierce at 4 and stretch immediately to 2, but that doesn’t address the angle issue with the standard PA you already had.

Hi!
Is there a danger of becoming impotent or somehow not getting your penis as hard as usual during an erection because of a apadravya piercing? My doctor who is a professional urologist said that there is a theoretical danger for both of these conditions.. I’m really interested in getting the piercing and this is my only concern to not getting it. The piercer who I’d get it from is one of the best piercers in Finland (Jussi from Circus Mundus Absurdus) but he has done less than ten apadravyas. Is there a way to measure/feel where the corpus conversum is located? Thanks for your reply and merry christmas!
There is a theoretical danger that I could be killed by the Ebola virus in the next 20 minutes. Fortunately, theoretical is about as far as that danger goes. Now, first things first…I’m not a doctor. So, if you decide to take my information over his, do so at your own risk.
However, a quick glance at an anatomy book and you will see that, while the corpus cavernosum do extend somewhat into the glans of the penis, they do so on either side of the urethra. Since an apadravya piercing passes though the urethra, it would be pretty difficult to puncture the cavernosum. Now, while puncturing the cavernosum COULD lead to reduced erection rigidity, even that isn’t terribly likely, as I understand it.
As always, your mileage may vary, and pierce your wiener at your own risk.

Howdy!
I was wondering what might cause part (not all) of piercing to be sore/tender.
I had my PA done early September at 14ga, and as of early December I am at a far more comfortable 6ga. I currently have a 6ga 1″ curved barbell which is kind of too long (should be 1/2″, I think), but still okay. The piercing is to the best of my know
My problem occurs most often after I have just woken up (not related to morning wood). The piercing does not hurt on its own, but if I lean on it, or touch it, one side of side of it is tender. The other side is fine and dandy. I don’t what’s going on. My jewelery fits snugly when dry and moves very easily when wet, so I’m not sure if it’s a gauge problem.
In order to try and remedy this, I slept one night without the barbell, and in the morning I popped in my 8ga ring. Still sort of tender. I re-gauged the piercing to a 6ga later in the day. Now I’m a little more sore than before.
Any ideas as to what might cause the tenderness?
I’d really rather not go back to the 8ga ring, higher gauges = way more comfortable.
If you are wearing a 1″ barbell, and you actually need a 1/2″ barbell, there is a good chance that the extra length on the jewelry could be causing the problem. Even if you need something that is longer than a 1/2″, jewelry that doesn’t fit a piercing properly can definitely cause irritation/soreness/pain. It could be that your jewelry is getting twisted/pulled while you sleep, causing the soreness. While there is actually more jewelry to get twisted than a curved barbell, the ring may work with your body differently than the curve, thereby reducing how much soreness you have.
A trip to a local piercer might be in order so they can help fit you with an appropriately-sized piece of jewelry. You shouldn’t need to switch back to a smaller gauge.
Good luck!

after building up the courage i went to my piercer today and asked for a PA. he took me through the procedure and we got ready. as the piercer pulled down my foreskin he had a quick examine and told me i had too many large veins on both sides of my penis and that it would bleed too much if he pierced me. is this factual? he said its a round 1 in 10 that have too many veins.
I have never not been able to pierce a PA due to blood vessels in the way. The thickness of the tissue being pierced in a standard PA is so thin and flexible that even if there were prominant blood vessels, they could be rolled out of the way for the piercing to be done.
The penis is a pretty vascular area. I’ve done some piercings in the area that have done some pretty impressive bleeding afterwards. Besides some swelling and a bit of residual bleeding, it’s not that big of a deal.

I am want to know is it damaging to play pierce the cock?
The penis can take LOT of abuse. However, play piercing is not without risk. An infection could prove very problematic. Also, repeated play piercing or doing so in larger gauges can cause excessive scar tissue build up, that could potentially limit erectile function. There is a TON of photo’s and experiences in the BME hard section, that would be your best bet to start doing some research on the subject.

Hi,
Have you ever heard of a Hafada piercing that has created a keloid? My scarring process is quite bad, and most of my wounds end up creating keloids (real ones, according to my dermatologist), but I would think a scrotal piercing would not have those issues.
Thanks!
If you are prone to actual keloid scarring it doesn’t matter where on your body - if you wound the tissue, you are at risk of a keloid scar.

Hi. I had 4 8G CBR’s in my scrotum done last month. Everything went fine and they are healing nicely. The problem is that there is a distinct bad odor coming from the piercings. It’s not “weeping” or anything. I first noticed it when it was still bleeding. Did I somehow get a scent gland pierced or something like that? I’d like to know if I’m stuck with this or if it will go away in awhile. Thanks!
Unfortunately my knowledge of human anatomy fails me when it comes to scrotal scent glands..
There could be a number a reasons your piercings have a foul odour:
The first would simply be personal hygiene. Balls hang out between sweaty thighs and in between a bumhole and a urethra all day. They often don’t smell very nice, but a nice shower with soap and water in all the surrounding areas usually does the trick.
Secondly, large gauge piercings create a larger surface area and, like stretched earlobes, can get what we so affectionately dub “cheesy”. That discharge and foul odour is literally a by-product of staph bacteria. It STINKS. You can rid yourself of it a few ways.
-Again with the personal hygiene. Have a shower, wash that! Rinse the piercing out with clean, warm water. When the piercings are healed enough that you can introduce a mild soap, that’ll be nice too.
-Wear implant grade jewelry. If you have a piece of tin “surgical steel” or mystery titanium CBR in there, your body is going to have all kinds of tissue stuck in the poor finish and it’s going to be fighting the foreign object. This will cause more smelly secretions and tissue decay.
Keeping the surrounding area and the actual piercing site fresh and clean should keep the problem under control.

My girlfriend wants to get an IUD. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrauterine_device)
I have a Prince Albert at 2ga with a curved barball around 5/8″.
She’s concerned about the IUD string becoming tangled with my PA, which could potentially result in her uterus becoming perforated.
I am having trouble quantifying the risk. At face value, it seems unlikely. I’m aware of the attention in pop culture (Grays Anatomy) but do not believe it to be the source of the concern.
Clipped the string shorter is not very desirable, as verification of the device remaining in place is important.
Are you familiar with experiences either positive or negative? Can you refer me to documentation that would be applicable to the scenario?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
If your girlfriend’s IUD is placed properly and does routine checkups with her gyno nothing should really affect it after insertion. Having the strings clipped short (as in, sitting just inside the cervix, even!) is not detrimental the IUD in the least.
The “strings” that come off the bottom of an intrauterine device are not long and for the most part cannot be felt at all(by fingers, or penises alike!)I would be very impressed if you somehow managed to get your PA jewelry caught on that IUD in any way.
(Grey’s Anatomy is bullshit, for the record. Let me tell you that if ANYTHING caught and tugged on someone’s IUD, let alone dislodging it from the uterus, the white-hot agony that would ensue would not make for good watching for a silly segment of a television show. Even the thought of this makes my knees weak!)

yes my question is whats better for an Apadrava. EMLA or Xylocaine Jelly, and yeah if anyone could shine a light on this for me would very helpful
An ap can be a painful piercing, but if done by an experienced pro, it should be quick enough that anesthetic is not needed. However, I am not of the belief that everyone must “earn” there mods, so if you insist on anesthetic I will give you a straight up answer. Emla, is a topical anesthetic that requires an occlusive dressing to be most effective and it is extremely effective on the glans tissue. Xylocaine jelly is best suited for inside of the urethra and is most commonly used (in our world at least) for sounding play. If you wanted to go all out you could combine the 2, using the jelly internally and the emla externally. However, I feel that would be extremely overkill. The emla alone as directed on the label should make the piercing damn near painless.
Standard warning, anesthetics like EMLA are legally regulated in some areas. Also, even though EMLA is fairy safe anytime you use anesthetic of any form you run several risk including the possibility of anaphylactic shock. If you insist on using it, do your homework and weigh out the pros and cons. Like I said an ap done properly only hurts for a second or two.
