Today, we have questions from Gloria, Bri, and Sierra - we're talking about industrial bars and piercing bumps; masking up for work when you are pierced (and the complications that might ensue); and what to do when you have an infected belly ring. Today's Questions: - "Dear Alley: I got an industrial bar piercing about three (3) years ago. I cleaned and took care of it properly, but I still got a bump on the backside of my ear. How can I get rid of it, or is it too late?" - Gloria
- "Hi, my name is Bri! I have to wear double masks at my job and I have an industrial bar. The masks I have to wear irritated it and created a keloid around the trouble spot. What should I do? I wanted to get it surgically removed but I feel like it would defeat the purpose if I have to keep wearing the mask still. Have a nice day!" - Bri
- "Hi, I recently got a belly piercing and it's infected, what do I do? My parents won't take me to a doctor, but it's itchy and red..." - Sierra |
