I don’t have Reddit so…

PIERCERS / HEAVILY PIERCED FOLKS OF TUMBLR!!!

Please help a girl out. I’ve got a piercing bump on my new industrial that I can’t shake and is only worsening. The piercing is over a month old now and it’s only the forward helix that’s having issues, closest to my head.

Ik that to get rid of a piercing bump, the first thing is to find the source of the irritation, but I don’t know what it is. I don’t use hair products, I’m keeping my hair pinned/tied back on the side so it can’t bother it either. I clean it regularly enough and have been doing saline soaks. I clean it immediately after showering, too.

Could it be my glasses??? Maybe the bar is too short? I’m at a loss here.

The bump itself has started getting a small, dark spot in the center and it’s turning redder by the day.

I really, really LOVE the way my industrial looks on me, and I haven’t had issues like this with any other piercings, but I don’t want to lose it.

Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

How do you get rid of piercing bumps?

JKHSDA bestie i wish i knew 😭

i have been struggling, and i mean STRUGGLING, to get rid of the ones on my snug that i've had since january. and now my vertical helix has one as well

i've heard many different methods to getting rid of them:

saline spray or warm salt water (i've been told in the ratio of 1 cup of water to 1/4 teaspoon of uniodized salt)

unscented hand soap (i have not been able to find a single hand soap that is unscented though)

teatree oil (but very diluted, like 2-3 drops in a shot glass worth of water)

crushed asprin (this i've never personally tried)

i recommend asking your piercer. also ask different piercers because i've asked different ones and one will tell me to do one thing and the other will say don't do that. so maybe asking multiple can help come to a consensus? i also recommend going on youtube and watching reputable piercers who make content.

if anyone else has advice feel free to share because hell i'll take it too 😭

also i'm NOT a piercer so please don't take my word as fact necessarily

ugh i have the biggest nose piercing bump ever in my nose which is causing the screw that goes in my nose to stick out and me pushing it back in every 2 seconds is most likely making it worse (by constantly moving the stud back & fourth) but it looks so stupid sticking out of my nose all the time wAT DO I DO

Whoever decided to allow me to get piercings deserves jail. Like straight to jail.

Saline? Never heard of her. "Oh i got a piecing bump, i need to be carefu-" well too late i scratched that shit straight off. Wiped out like the dinosaurs with only a crater left.
