I'd leave it alone. In my personal experience, well healed and happy piercings sometimes just get grumpy for no reason and then settle down.

My tongue piercings always cause me grief when I have a...

Hi,

The picture isn't working.
I suggest visiting a piercer for a professional opinion.
Was it pierced with titanium?

Welcome Dennis.
Great to have a new member and to have an older person join. I bet you rock your mods.

My piercer is doing anything apart from oral and nose piercings.

I wonder if it is the same in Scotland.

Or maybe this is a sign that I need to get my first genital piercing...

Yes, a dentist may be a good idea - mine isn't all about teeth, they are about all oral health

I'd wait at least until you were able to get assistance if you can't do it yourself.
My experience says that changing non-lobe ear piercings can be very difficult.

Unlikely to be an infection.

My experience says that piercings sometimes get irritated. Often it is if you are otherwise unwell or even just run down, for example my tongue piercings play up when...

I've had a number of tongue piercings and never had this or heard of it.

I would have thought had it been an allergy thing, it would have gone quickly after removing.

Are you fussing with it...

I have no practical experience but I think you will be OK.
I suspect you won't even need a taper although might be a good idea to have one.
I'm sure there are plenty of experiences and advice on...

I can't help directly as I have no gauged piercings but there is a sticky on this very forum that should help
GUIDE - How to Stretch a Lobe Piercing and FAQs

lol - I know what you mean. Particularly banks. I really hate it when they say "please hold, your call is important to us"
that's obviously a total lie!

Should have clarified the above - in my...

I can't help you with your question exactly but in my experience all ends fit on all jewellery but no doubt someone sells something that is incompatible.
Have you been able to contact the places you...

what did you see on twitter?

My piercer currently isn't doing any oral piercings - tongue/lip etc.

But good idea - I should contact them, say hi and spread some love

I'm feeling sorry for all body piercers right now.
From what I can see they are all seeing a significant downturn in business.

I can't see how I can help them right now but as soon as the world...

But even with a picture it would be hard to say. Go back and see your piercer? Go to a different piercer for a second...

What's the latest with this?

As expected, this is a very specific question which only someone with detailed medical knowledge could answer.
Possibly a question for your doctor.

I'd be interested to know the answer and how...

I got mine done because it was a common thing for women to have done but I think with a nice thick bar or something more masculine then it would look great on a guy.

Go for it!

Yes, tattoo first.

ok - might be swelling so hard to say definitely just now but from the photos alone it doesn't look quite 100%.

My advice - wait until the swelling has gone down and see then and get others to...

I suggest going to see your piercer and see what they suggest.

Also, make sure your jewellery is quality titanium - a lot of piercing problems are caused by allergic reactions which you shouldn't...

Assuming it isn't infected at the moment, just take it out and keep it clean. Clean it, and your hands before doing so.

Have you thought about changing jewellery to something that won't get caught...

A 7 two weeks after being pierced is not normal. I'd expect to still have a little soreness but not a 7.

Has stopping the bactine helped any?

Also, are you leaving them alone or fussing with...
