DEAR ALLEY: Hope you’re well and keeping safe! I wondered if you could give me some advice? I got my nipples pierced a year ago, I followed the guidance given for aftercare to the letter and they have healed perfectly. I do however have a couple of concerns I am hoping you can help me with. When my nipples become erect I get a slight pain in them, as though they feel very tight and a bit sore and also in the morning there is sometimes a tiny amount of dried yellow like substance, it doesn’t smell and it’s not often, but when I clean them they do bleed a little... I just wondered if these things were normal for this type of piercing as I never had it with any other piercings I have? Kind regards, Kerrie ALLEY: Hi Kerrie! Interesting question! Nipples certainly function in a few different ways. As they change size and shape throughout the day due to temperature or being touched, they are bound to experience a bit of movement as blood rushes in and out of the area.
Congrats on following your aftercare so diligently! Even with commitment like yours, a year is just-about-average when it comes to healing time with nipple piercings. Even though... |
