Spring seems put people in the mood for beautiful new jewelry! This is a healed triple helix that we upgraded to a 14k yellow gold continuous ring, Myla ring, and Double Dalia, all by #bvla ! I don’t think I could have picked a better combo myself. ((piercings not by me- just fixed her up with some rad new jewelry) I say #stackthatshit ? :) #saintsabrinas #safepiercing #appmember #triplehelix #piercing #helixpiercing

Well first let’s not define all discharge as lymph. Discharge in a piercing can be all kinds of stuff, lymph, sebum, white blood cells, angel tears, etc. I don’t really like to use medical terms like “lymph” or “keloid”. I prefer terms like “discharge” or “bump”. Mostly because I don’t want to misrepresent what may be going on with an irritated piercing I haven’t physically seen.
Continued discharge after 11 months may be a sign of a mild irritation. If you’ve worn the same jewelry through the entire 11 months try wearing something new. Maybe a slightly different size, a different style, or different material. A consultation with your piercer or a second opinion from another experienced piercer in your area may produce some suggestions that could help as well.
Here’s a cute little forward helix I did last fall, all healed up, and looking extra fancy with a white gold mint green/CZ cherry blossom from #bvla. It fits her ear perfectly. I know a lot of people are disappointed to find out that their ear won’t fit the coveted triple forward helix, but I think of it this way- if you can only get one, that just means you have 3x more you could spend on jewelry! ;p #optimism !! #safepiercing #saintsabrinas #forwardhelix #appmember #piercing #legitbodyjewelry #tripleforwardhelix

Are you wearing an earring post from the initial gun procedure still? If so I would suggest high quality body jewelry.

If it was fine, then was snagged and damaged, and now it’s flared up and irritated my guess is you made a small tear in the piercing, exposing raw tissue to poor quality metal. It could easily be a combination of damaged piercing and allergic reaction. Some good jewelry and good aftercare should help clear it up.

Doesn’t sound like anything too major, but you could try some new jewelry. Initial jewelry is often a bit longer or larger to account for swelling during the healing process. Once you’re healed you want to downsize your jewelry to prevent the excess length from catching and snagging. If you caught your jewelry, even in your sleep when you might not have noticed, that could easily be where the scab came from.

No. It needs to take its vitamins, eat its vegetables and get a fair amount of cardio.
Sorry…. But in all seriousness, no, not at all. If a piercing has an unpleasant odor it means you need to do a better job of keeping it clean.
While still healing, leave the jewelry in and do your best to clean the piercing 2-3 times a day with something gentle such as saline solution. Avoid any sort of harsh products such as alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, etc.
If you’ve had the septum piercing for a few months and are comfortable with taking it in and out, remove it every morning or every other morning and give the jewelry a good rinse and wipe down before or after your shower. While the jewelry is out it will give you a good opportunity to give the piercing a thorough cleaning as well since nothing will be blocking it.
Coupled with good hygiene, this will prevent your piercing from having an unpleasant odor.

It is a combination of thickness, length and placement that will determine the comfort of a tongue piercing.
Thin jewelry usually doesn’t feel very comfortable, so most piercers prefer starting them at a 14g or 12g.
If you’ve had the piercing for some time and still have a longer length, that could be the issue. Downsizing to a snug fitting piece as soon as safely possible (usually 2-3 weeks) is highly encouraged not only for comfort, but also to try and minimize the chances of damage to your teeth and gums.
