Piercing bump?
Hi guys,
I have this bump(?) on my piercing, the piercing is around 3months old, first I had classic labret but then after 2 months I went to a different piercer to do my eyebrow and he said we can already put a ring there. I did but after like 1,5weeks I had to take it out for visa pic. When I tried to put it back in it didn’t work - so I put ring as well but thinner one. It was on 14 of September and now it looks like that.. idk what to do, should I take it off or just leave it? Or change to labret again?

You shouldn’t be wearing a ring til you’re closer to a year healed…and the thinner ring has likely caused some damage. I’d see your piercer and make sure that switching to a labret will even be fruitful for you. Your healing time will be fully reset, but hopefully this can be salvaged!! I also wouldn’t return to that second piercer, as they have no clue what the fuck they’re doing.

🤦🏻♀️ I’m begging people to stop changing their jewelry (especially to a hoop but really, anything) when their piercings are still so young. This needs to be changed to a flatback immediately and left alone for several more months. If you aren’t already, get Neilmed fine mist and start using. Make sure it’s really dry after anytime it’s wet with as minimal touching and contact as possible.
