Ok I got an industrial piercing on 9/30. It took 3 weeks for the pain from getting bumped to go down. As long as there is no puss you should not have an infection. As of now if it gets bumped it hardly hurts at all compared to how bad it used to. What I would try is the sea salt soaks mentioned before. You have to take a cup of warm water (make it as warm as you can without it burning you) and 1 teaspoon of sea salt (which you can find in the spices section of a store) and tip your head to the side and let the water soak your piercing for 5-15 min. If you do get an infection do it for at least 10 minutes at a time. Do these soaks 2-3 times a day. What it does is give the bacteria a nice warm salty place to go. To get the full affect you need to soak it for at least 10 min. Then make sure you rince your ear off afterwards and dry it with a paper towel or cotton ball (not a towel or anything that could have bacteria on it itself). I know the first 2 weeks are the hardest but do the soaks and it should get better. Feel free to email me if you have any more questions!

ask ur ob/gyn about what u can put on them. i had the same problem, and i forgot what the stuff is called, cuz its been 4 years since my child was a baby. but there is some stuff that my dr. gave me, non prescription and perfectly fine for baby if they breast feed when u have it on. it starts with an L but i cant rememeber for the life of me what its called. laniso, sumthin like that. but ask him anyway, and you can buy at any drug store. its a tube of stuff kinda like a thick petroleum jelly kinda stuff, u can put on your nipples that will heal and help sooth your nipples. sorry about not remembering the exact name, but it does wk. and you may have glogged hole in nipple and sometimes nipples can be infected too. ask your ob though and im sure they will help you figure out what is wrong.

it will be sore for a few weeks yet or even months, it all depends on your body and how long it takes to heal. the darkened area will prob just be bruising from the piercing. When i had mine done this all happened and had gunk all round it for a while. Get some salt water in an egg cup and soak it for a few mins every day. this will help the healing process.if it starts bleeding or starts worrying you go o the doctors or the place where you got it done just to be sure.x

I heard something related to the symptoms you described before. I did a quick search and found this description.\n\n"Paget's Disease of the Nipple\n\nThis type of breast cancer starts in the milk ducts and spreads to the skin of the nipple and areola (the dark circle around the nipple). The nipple and areola will often appear crusted, scaly and red. The patient may experience burning, itching or notice some bloody discharge from the nipple.\n\nPaget's Disease is a rare form of breast cancer, occurring in only 1% of all cases. It can be associated with in situ carcinoma as well as invasive carcinoma. If no lump can be felt in the breast tissue and the biopsy shows the growth to be in situ and not invasive, treatment for Paget's Disease is very effective."\n\nI would suggest doing a search on this term as I am positive there can be many contributing factors. For now I am sure the doctor will rule out all the possible causes. I wish you all the best.

have you changed your piercing lately? maybe it was not healed all the way...\n\nmake sure that you are cleaning ALL around with antibacterial soap (they might have given you a kit) and using the sea salts regularly! when you clean make sure you can move the ring around to be thorough... if you feel any pain use an ice pack for about ten minutes.\n\nif this is still happening (it sounds like an infection because the piercing should have healed by now - within 6 weeks) talk to whomever did the piercing and ask for their directions... i don't think it should be to serious though, a similar thing happened to me.

yeah, but try getting the one for SENSITIVE skin as the area around ur nipple is extremely delicate and sensitive so u wudnt wanna end up with a reaction or something, they're mild and dont cause damage. but dont forget to carry out an allergy test!!!\nhair growing there is natural and not a problem, but i know its annoying. but its nothing to be concerned about!!!\nbut if u are concerned, u cud see ur doctor or a dermatologist for some professional advice.

i don't have any piercings--to me that's about the dumbest thing i've ever seen.\n\nmy brother has his nipples pierced.  i asked him what in the world did he do that for?  he said it was for the 'endorphin rush'.  he said there was this immense pain at first and then the endorphins kicked in and it was a high like you've never felt before.\n\nok.  you bet.  man, you want a high, go drink a few buds or smoke that doobie you've been saving---but to have a complete stranger punch holes in your frickin NIPPLES and then shove a piece of metal in there just for an endorphin rush?  you've got to be out of your mind.\n\nnow that i think about it, i don't believe him.  all the times he went running to mom telling on me after i'd slug him in the arm----he should've been thankful for me giving him the 'endorphin rush'!

Stop wearing the padded bra, it might help. Are your breasts still growing? It's perfectly normal to experience a range of discomfort while they grow, that's what Tylenol and Motrin are  for =)

I'm sure your breasts & nipples are beautiful without adding jewellery to them. What is your motivation? I would be very wary about a nipple piercing because breastfeeding is far more important.

Have you had this tenderness only around your period or all month?  Most women have tenderness before and during their periods.  Is the tenderness in both breasts?  Bilateral breast cancer or a bilateral infection is extremely rare.  Have you recently started a weight training program or increased the weights you have been using?  This could be muscle pain.\nIf the tenderness is in only one breast and is not associated with your periods, that may be a symptom of inflammatory breast cancer.  This type of breast cancer is extremely rare, but also difficult to diagnose.  At any rate, since this is obviously not normal for you and it is causing you concern, you really might want to make an appointment with your GYN.  They know a lot about breast issues and can refer you to the right specialist if need be.  Good luck!

From a professional standpoint I would get it checked.  There are programs out there to help you cover the costs of medical expenses.  A doctor cannot refuse you treatment due to inability to pay.  A really good program that could help you out is the Hill-Burton Act.  I spent many years working on an Oncology Unit (Cancer unit) in our local hospital and know that one of the signs of breast cancer is nipple discharge.  I don't want to scare you , only inform you.  Finding out now is best because there are treatments available that can stop the growth if it is cancer, and better to catch it early.  I will keep you in my prayers.

It sounds like this may have been your first time.  If so, it's normal to be sore for a few days, as your hymen was probably torn a little.  This is normal.  If it continues to be painful, you should see a doctor.

I think you need to have this checked out by a doctor. It could be any number of things, even a node. It could be a lingering infection. Let a doctor look at it and then you'll know for sure and you can get whatever treatment you may need. You don't need to be in pain like this. My heart goes out to you and I will pray that you get well soon.

Perhaps it's an allergic reaction to the type of marterial you are wearing.  The breasts are very sensitive, and a material that you may be able to wear on another part of your body my just not work as a bra.  Perhaps it's too abrasive?  If you have the receipt bring it back and exchange for a new one.  Bras should be ultra comfy and that one doesn't sound like it's doing the trick for you.
