Dear Alley
Why do my stretched ears smell bad?

DEAR ALLEY: So I have had my ears stretched and gauged for years! At my biggest stretch I was 5/16! As I have had children now I am down to a 0.

I have no problems with infection or any jewelry being uncomfortable, I have a problem with a smell. I clean my ears and jewelry every morning and every night with antibacterial soap. But there is still a nasty smell. What can I do?

I’m to the point I’m about to just take them out and forget about them and hope they shrink back to normal, although I would really not like to do that. I LOVE them dearly, and they are just 
simply a part of ME. Please help!!

Thank you,
- Heather

ALLEY: Hey Heather,

I talked to a professional piercer and she said to scrub the bump with a q-tip to help clean it more. I have been for a week. Still nothing, no change. What else can I do?

Thanks
- Blake

ALLEY: Hey Blake,

First off, nose bumps are totally normal (even if they are very annoying). While your nose bump can certainly go away before you're done healing, you should expect your nose to continue being in a state of healing for at least ...

Why does piercing get sore every time I change jewelry?
DEAR ALLEY: I have had my nipple piercings well over 2 years. They are pretty healed, I believe. My question is, each time I switch out my rings, my nipples get sore. Is that normal? It feels as if they are in the healing process again.

Thank you,
- Wendy

ALLEY: Hi Wendy!

Great question. Swapping out your nipple jewelry can definitely be a tough process for some people. Your nipples are very sensitive to begin with, and the "roughness" of swapping out your jewelry can already put a bit of stress on them.

First, have you tried taking your jewelry...
