http://piercology.com/n/aftercare_body.php\n\nGreat site with a lot of information. One of my favorite sites to check out because they have so much information, and all they do is pierce. They really know their stuff.

If you open it up, then put a lot of peroxide on it.  It'll foam up a bit, then dab it dry with some toilet paper or something and put Neosporin on it.  It should be gone a few days if you do that every day.

Take pictures of it and post daily so we can evaluate it. We'll let you know what steps to take!\n\nKidding (maybe)...they should have told you how to care for it where you got it pierced. Unless you did it yourself. Yikes. Maybe you should see a doctor.

I know what you and chrystal_lynn are talking about. I have them, too... especially raw at my ears.\n\nOne way with the jeans button is to tuck your (t-)shirts (or an undershirt/ spaghetti straps that's long enough when your t-shirts aren't) in, that way the buttons don't come in contact with your skin.\n\nAnother way is to get prescription anti-allergic/ anti-histaminic topical creams applied on the area of skin that will come in contact with the button before wearing your jeans. Can't recommend a brand name of the medicine for you as it differs from country to country.\n\nI don't understand how come clear nail polish doesn't do the trick... because I have them done even on the underside of all my metal wrist-watches.\n\nHope these help. Good luck!

Neosporin BAD, it doesnt allow for the wound to breathe and so the infection is just being held close to your piercing. Neosporin is meant for surface scrapes and cuts, not deep puncture wounds, which is what a piercing essentially is. The bandaid is another no no, you need to let it breathe.\n\nTry soaking your nose in a warm/mildly hot sea salt solution 2-3 times a day to draw out the impurities. The proper ratio of sea salt to distilled (not tap) water is 1/4 tsp (NOT TABLESPOON) to 8oz of water. \n\nTry to soak for 10-15 min at a time. You may also wish to invest in some emu oil to put on the piercing after you clean it. My nipple piercings get the dreaded bump every now and again, but since i have been using the emu oil, it is going down and the other one went away and hasnt been back. The best kind is Desert Palm. I will list the link below. \n\nBe sure to keep the piercing clean and dry. Dry it off only with a dry, clean papertowel and pat it, dont rub it. In the future, if it comes back, dont pop it, start with the sea salt soaks IMMEDIATELY.

Remove the filter. Clean with a soapy sponge. Re-insert. Keep looking hot ! I'm sorry beautiful lady but everytime I check these answers your pretty face makes me melt. I would clean the filter for you if only I could.

Ask them to apply some numb spray before you get pierced. That makes it painless.

Neosporin may be one of the culprits.  It prevents oxygen from reaching the wound and leaves a sticky residue which can cause other problems.  Peroxide is also not the best choice for aftercare.  It's too strong and very drying.  If you have pain, try a salt water soak.  For cleaning, anti-bacterial soap works best and make sure you move the jewelry as you clean the piercing to keep that clean as well.\n\nI have several piercings and each one healed differently.  Hopefully with a consistent routine of cleaning the piercing twice a day with anti-bacterial soap for a week or two, you will notice a vast improvement.  A good piercing shop will also be willing to help you out and give you some tips.  Good luck!

if it wasn't ripped off completely, you can use super glue to hold it together until it grows out enough to clip off\n\nif it did rip completely off, file the edges of it as it is growing back in to prevent ingrown nails

They can get infected with poor hygiene, like any piercing.  If you get one make sure you have low rise pants, since the piercing likes to hook onto clothing.

I suggest you to use a Wet Cloth, and if it is not too dirty, just use a soft cloth to clean it, specially if you have a LCD monitor.\n\nHope this helps. Regards.

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

start by unbuttoning buttons, unlacing laces, release bra strap ... \n\nseriously This is absolutely foolproof for any laundered items! Mix Dawn dishwashing liquid soap with hydrogen peroxide...then pour on the stain and let sit as a presoak. Neither of these ingredients works by itself. You must use BOTH. You'll actually see the red wine disappear as you drizzle the mixture on a stain

I use ordinary dish soap and hot water.  If it is under your nails, a scrub brush can get that.

as a body piercer, I can tell you that it wont heal fast, because you pierced it yourself.Sewing needles are made of bad quality metals that usuially cause more irritation to the piercing.\nOnce the swelling goes down it wont rub on your gums as much.\nBut I dont quite understand what you did. Please answer some of the following questions, and I'll change my answer to help you out more.\n1) What type of jewlery do you have in now? What gauge and size is it? Is it a hoop? labet post? earring stud? What material or typer of metal is it made out of?\n2)did you clean anything before you pierced it?\n3)How have you been cleaning it?
