Why is my 6-month-old piercing still crusty swollen, and the piercing is sore?
Could mean your illergic to your jewelry. You need sergical steal or gold higher than 10k. I can't tell you how many buy jewlrey that's not real. Alot of those sterling silver pieces are only dipped, this jewelry is no good. Some buy these bellybutton barbells that are “fake” on the lower dangling piece. Jewelry like that is only meant to be worn on a night out, then removed and only if your piercing is fully healed. You can tell the difference if the bottom piece don't screw on, it's fused on there and the color of the two metals are different. If this is the case, take it out immediately. Also if your changing your jewelry to much, touching or your clothes hook against it, could erritate your piercing too. If its a top bellybutton piercing and your a larger girl most likely it wont heal properly and your body will eventually push the jewlrey out. I always recommed larger girls pierce the bottom of their bellybottons. It do take longer to heal, but in the end its better for them. If your using the proper jewelry, cleaning your piercing properly your piercing shouldn't take 6 months to heal. I hope this helps..good luck.
Why do my earlobes close up after a few days without earrings even though I've had them pierced for about 15 years?
I actually have this problem as well, although my ears have only been pierced for four years.The problem is that your piercings are being chronically irritated. Ear piercings that have healed normally won’t close up so easily. There could be many reasons behind why your ears didn’t heal properly. You may have a metal allergy that is constantly irritating your ears, or it may just be the type of earring, or how you change your earrings. Even sleeping on your side can irritate them.You have a few options. One is to buy earrings that are completely nickel free. Even most gold and silver earrings will contain some nickel. If you’re really worried about it you could try surgical-grade stainless steel/titanium, or 14–16 karat gold. Costume/cheap earrings are the absolute worst idea, so don’t wear them!The next option is to let your piercings close up completely, then get new piercings with safe metal, and leave them it for at least 6 weeks without changing them. If you disturb them, you’ll probably end up with the same problem as before.The last option is what I’ve been doing; just toughing it out. I keep round backed studs in everyday, cleaning occasionally, in addition to when I change my earrings. I never leave my earrings out for more than a day. I did once, and my hole partially closed up. Ouch.
Puppy constantly licking her vagina?
Um that is normal all animals mainly cats and dogs do that. that is their way of cleaning themselves its nothing to be worried about. All animals should and are suppose to do that maybe except for large animals like elephants. they just go to a lake or whatever to clean themselves.
If i put a clean cotton swab in my vagina can i see if my period is coming?
Usually I can tell mine is coming a couple days before because when I run and then stop I feel a slight cramp. Any sort of body exertion does it. You will be irregular for awhile. I'm at my third year and I'm just becoming regular now. Well after about 2 and a half years. Don't worry about it. When I first started I had 3-4 month time periods in between each one. Perfectly normal. Besides you don't want it to come. I woke up this morning sweating from cramp pain and had to crawl into my bathroom... I woulda puke if there was anything in my stomach... but don't worry that's just me ^^ most periods just have pain. I just have one painful day and then nothing xD I know TMI.
My cartilage is red and warm, I had a piercing last week but only after a guy threw an empty bottle to my ear this happened, is it an infection?
It is quite common for piercings to become irritated, but not necessarily infected, during the initial healing phase.63. What’s normal for a fresh healing piercing? tenderness a small circle of redness extending 2-3mm / 1/8” around the piercing site a clear to creamy coloured secretion that may dry at the entry/exit of the piercing that the piercing may close if the jewellery is removed at all for jewellery to be changed in oral piercings after the initial swelling has subsided – usually after 2-3 weeks for a piercing to cycle through good and not so good times for the first 12 months, salt water soaking will assist64. What’s not normal? A piercing that is not showing a continual improvement in the first 3 points above after approximately one month – see your piercer A piercing that is hot, swollen, red and secreting a yellow to green secretion – these are the signs of an infection – see your medical practitioner as soon as possible For any piercing to grow out – see your piercer For jewellery to repeatedly fall out – visit a good studio To continue use of chemical aftercare after the initial healing period.(http://thepiercingurge.com.au/fi...)If you are unsure, please leave the piercing in and check with your piercer- if you remove the jewellery and there is an infection, this can become trapped in the body and form an abscess.
I pierced my earlobes 4 weeks ago, and now one of the piercings is bleeding. Is it infected?
They might be, but more likely you would have traces of greenish-white pus oozing out of the piercing if it were infected. Did you do the piercing yourself? Did you use wires or studs? Wires are measurably thinner and piercings that have healed with wires are often too small for studs. Have you been turning them everyday like winding a clock (back and forth motion)? Have you been using an ear wash or rubbing alcohol twice daily? If you had your ears pierced at a shop or mall, they would have told you all this or given you a pamphlet to read explaining what to do with your new piercings. If you did it at home, you might not have known what to do. They would also have used locking studs at a mall..Now since it’s been four weeks, you have two options.1) You can take the earrings out, let the piercing close up and try again later—professionally next time with a sterile ear piercing gun and proper studs (which are usually a tiny fraction larger in diameter than regular earring posts or wires, and likely 14k gold or gold plated, not cheap mixed metal.) After four weeks, you may or may not end up with a little knot in the place where it was pierced this time.Or, 2) you can wait a while longer doing the winding and washing and see if it clears up, since you are only getting blood, not pus, they may just be healing and not been turned enough. If not turned enough the flesh can begin to stick to the wire or post, rather then healing around it and forming a proper hole. Using the ear wash will ensure they don’t get infected from here on out, provided they aren’t already. Good luck!
