Healing trouble, should I take my piercing out?

DEAR ALLEY: I've had my double helix piercing for about two years now, and it's still not healed. A lot has happened with it, including: the inner threading of the original barbells being messed up, so the jewelry kept falling off. I dealt with that for a whole year before switching to hoops (I know I shouldn't have) back in July of 2020 just to see if there was any possibility it could help. Now I just want to know if I should just give up and let the holes close and start over? Or if it will actually eventually get better.

ALLEY: Hey Jacki,

Great question! You certainly can get your nipples re-pierced after you remove your jewelry. Here's a few things you should keep in mind:

I'm not a pro piercer... And without seeing your nipples or any potential scarring you have from your last piercing experience, it's hard to know...

Why am I having a reaction to my jewelry?
DEAR ALLEY: I have had my nipple pierced for about two years, but when I put any kind of metal nipple barbell in the piercing, it just gets really sore and I have to take it out and put a Bioplast barbell in. That seems to be the only barbell that will agree with it. I am just wondering, why is this happening?

Thank you,
- Morra

ALLEY: Hi Morra!

Jewelry can be tricky. Piercings can be tricky. It's not just you!

My best suggestion in this case is to try out some simple jewelry made with a titanium barbell. Titanium should be comfy in your nipple piercing because it is one of the most inert metals (in terms of its biocompatibility). The nice thing about titanium is...
