but it's been over a year and I say this now, next bit it gross so dont read if you dont want to know
when ever I take the bar out it still has a bit of white gunk around it (white blood cells) so in a year it still hasn't healed
anyone else had theirs done, and has it healed yet??
I would recommend going to the doctors as they can give you some antibiotics to help fight the infection as its obvious that you have one. After the infection has healed. go to the guy who did it and get another bar. Platinum bars are the best.
it is one piercing though I hasten to add, but it's a valid point, I suppose rotating it around to get the crap out doesn't do it much good, thought I was being hygenic, but not really if it's trying to heal, I think seeing a piercer would help, it was all done correctly, with a fresh cannula and everthing.
i'll sit on it for a few more weeks and perhaps try some savlon!
"... The less aggravation your piercing undergoes, the quicker the healing time will be. It should only take about 6-8 weeks ...
... If it's been many months and your nipples still haven't healed, you may have an allergy or sensitivity to the jewelry you are wearing. You also might be doing something to aggravate it without realizing it. It's best to see your piercer (or any professional piercer) and let them look at it so they can make an informed suggestion for healing.
Jewelry Rejection
Is a nipple piercing considered a surface piercing? And can it reject like a surface piercing? Technically, no. Although the nipple is similar to a surface piercing in that it enters and exits the skin in two different areas, it's not quite the same. The nipple is fleshy enough to pierce securely behind plenty of skin to prevent rejection. But that doesn't mean a nipple piercing can't reject - especially if it's not done properly in the first place. If the jewelry gauge is too thin or the piercing isn't deep enough to begin with, you run the risk of rejection. If you have an allergy to the metal, it could cause it to reject. If you have problems with infection and/or tug and pull on it too much, it could reject. Actually, almost any piercing falls under these rules - so make sure your piercer knows what they're doing and be extra dutiful about your aftercare!"
Ah. It should've healed fairly quickly, i.e. in less than a year. Go and see a doctor.
the piece of paper I was given stated that this was normal, but that it would heal. Perhas a platinum bar would be better (why does my body have to have expensive tastes?)
I have no other piercings so I'm stumped
