Littlejfrey Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Help I had mine done about 2 months ago, and about 5 weeks ago, the area around it swelled up a bit. I kept doing my regular cleaning and the swelling started to go down a bit, but on Friday I woke up with a very visible red lump next to the piercing. Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm doing my cleaning more carefully now, but I'm afraid this thing won't go away should I get rid of my piercing instead?
lillavend3r Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Depends on everyone's healing process, I had a lump once on my mine so I popped it and went on with it till it healed and it's been fine. Do you take long to heal? Maybe you should just keep cleaning it and see how it goes, that's it if you really want to keep it
Mr. Gaga Posted August 11 Posted August 11 As a person who is into piercings, currently have 8 just on my face, this is normal. It'll go away.

305 Posted August 12 Posted August 12 Got my first one this past NYE and a red bump formed pretty quickly and stayed there for months until one morning the whole piercing just popped out entirely. I went straight to my piercer where they re-pierced it and the bump went away in a matter of days. I think my body was just doing its job by healing and trying to get this thing out and I think that having it fall out and getting it re-done let the wound "breathe" a bit. That was in May and everything has been great since then.
