For today's Tea, we've got questions from Tara, Audrey, and Kasey - we're talking about recurring piercing bumps; sensitive nipple piercings; and complications that arise when switching from plugs to regular earrings. Today's Questions: - "I have a industrial piercing and a nose piercing, Iโve had them for a year now. My industrial piercing still hurts if anything touches it or whatever and I have threeย small keloids on my ear. How can I get rid of them? I clean my ear with solution and they go away and still comes back after while. Same as my nose, it goes away but comes back if I put on makeup, touch it, or if it gets caught on some thing it almost comes out!! What can I do the get rid of the keloids?? Please help I really donโt want to have to take them out ?? I wanna buy more jewelry but why would I buy it if Ima still have keloids :(" - Tara - "I've had my nipples pierced for two months now, I keep cleaning them every day but they still get infected. My body like to reject my piercings... When do I know that I have to remove โem ? Any advice?" - Audrey - "I had gauged ears (sizes 16 18 and even a 14 here and the there) for several years in my ear lobes and had recently went to regular earrings. My question is why does the back of my ear lobe itch just on the right side to the point us cause the right side of my face to go numb. I have seen doctors and they gave ruled out anything life serious and can't find a cause for it cause the switch to from gauged ears to regular piercing gave cause damage that I'm unaware of... Thanks for your help." - Kasey |
