I've been getting an insane amount of questions lately... And I want to make sure I keep up with your pierced/modified conundrums!

Today, we have questions from Lacie, Jennifer, and Shanika - we're talking about tricky belly rings and how to heal them; a 30 year old belly piercing, and what to do about a piercing bump on your nose ring.

Today's Questions:

- "About 2 years ago I got my belly button pierced and it had a hard time healing. I’m not sure if my body was rejecting the jewelry or it having to do with the fact that I gained weight afterwards, but with that being said, I left my piercing in for about a year & a half after getting it pierced & i feel as if it never was healing because it constantly hurt & was always sore (I was still cleaning it properly). I took my belly ring out one night & within the next morning my whole had closed. It left a major scar & it’s about 1 inch long:( But I really miss my piercing & it was super cute! What is your opinion on getting it redone?" - Lacie

- "I have a belly piercing that I had done when I was 29. Now, I'm 58 and my skin is naturally thinning from getting older. My belly ring still looks good, but I've noticed the area of the piercing is getting smaller. Is this common in us older gals? I'm assuming this is a natural occurrence for aging, but I'd like your take on this. Thank you so much Alley!" - Jennifer

- "I tried switching my nose ring only after a couple weeks.. I ended up keeping the original nose ring and the after effect is a bump in place of my nose ring. I took the nose ring out but there’s still a bump. How can I get rid of it?" - Shanika

Dear Alley

Is my hair style affecting my cartilage piercing?
Dear Alley
Alley S.
BodyCandy's pierced pro & fashion forward diva
DEAR ALLEY: I received a industrial piercing a few years ago and it healed well. I loved it! After a year, I changed the jewelry and it seemed it needed more healing so I left it alone. Simultaneously, I went through a hair transition and started wrapping my locs up and the wrap/scarf sometimes laid near the top of the industrial bar... I feel like this interfered with the “new” healing process.

I noticed a bump at the top and it refused to go away so I removed the jewelry to let the wound heal. Fast forward to present day (over a year later) the bump isn’t gone but it did get smaller. I wear a cuff over it sometimes because it’s unattractive.
My question is this: How can I get rid of the bump so I can get it re-pierced? Can I get it pierced again in the same place? Or does the bump mean there’s irreparable scar tissue?

Thank you for creating this space! 💞
Sincerely,

- Temple
 

Can I put a 14g barbell into a 16g piercing?

DEAR ALLEY: I see more pieces of jewelry for 14g piercings compared to 16g's. Is it possible to insert a 14g curved barbell into my 16g VCH piercing?

Thank you in advance!
- Sutthida

ALLEY'S RESPONSE >

Was I piercing incorrectly? Is this normal?
DEAR ALLEY: I had each of my helix's pierced back in October. At the time, I didn't realize that you should have only one (1) side done each time so you don't sleep on the new piercing (I know that now!)

To make things worse, I was pierced with 10mm hoops each side...mmm. Now I heard it should be studs not hoops.

I know it can take about a year for a helix to heal, but both my ears are slightly sore to touch when I clean them, but look fine, not even swollen! I clean twice a day with mild rock salt water. I just take a soaked cotton pad (not ball!) And dab the piercings.

Is this normal?

Thanks,
- Louise x
