    MAN no wonder I’m still getting a little bit of bleeding after 5 weeks! I’m moving my piercing too much while cleaning it! I’ve tried looking up on the internet why this might be happening and all that comes up is infection but I know it’s not! No redness or swelling, and only happens when I clean it sometimes.

      If the swelling persists for days you’re gonna want to talk to your piercer to get longer jewelry. It’ll give room for swelling and allow it to heal with the right amount of room. If the swelling goes down well with longer jewelry then you can size down again.

    Question: I got my second earlobe piercings on Thursday and on my left ear the gun got stuck and then the back was crooked so they had to go back and fix it to make the back straight. Would all of that trama on my left ear hinder the healing process or make it more easier to get a keloid on that ear? I got the shop I got it pierced at and they said I should be fine if I keep putting the solution they gave me and to ice the piercing for swelling and if that doesn’t help within two weeks to come back to them. I just want a second opinion since I really don’t want a keloid and I have a wedding to go to next month 🥺.
    PS - I also have my cartilage pierced and didn’t have trouble with that piercing at all.

      i tried just spraying them for awhile then i cleaned it with a q-tip: there was some crud/buildup on it, i don’t think i would recommend it

    Literally the opposite of what my piercer said

      Same for me with lobe piercings, but I trust Matt more than the dude who pierced me. It’s been 8 weeks and NeilMed has been fine. Came back to see if I could swap out, might wait 4 more weeks🙃

    Funny I have 5 body piercings now and I've always used bactine and never had any issues 🤷🏽‍♀️ I love bactine

    How do you not get soap in the hole when you’re washing your hair?
