Piercings are subjected to infection during recovery and healing process. The intent of this text it to introduce you to the importance of healing and prevention of infection. Piercing is treated in a way that in your body, trough out entire length of the piercing, are created epithelial cells which protect the body from foreign objects. Epithelial cell create a layer of skin within a pierce. This process usually lasts between 6 and 8 weeks. When a layer is formed, piercing can shrink jewelry. This layer can be easily ripped or squeezed out. Do not force the rotation of jewelry, instead first sprinkle the piercing with warm water in order for skin to expand with more ease and jewelry to rotate. When epithelial layer has formed you need to enable it to grow stronger. This process usually lasts between 6 to 12 months. After that, piercing is more flexible and easier to move.<\/p>\n

When a pierce is strong enough, if you remove the jewelry, the hole won\u2019t close but it will shrink. All piercings exert lymph extract during the renewal process. This extract is sticky and white or gray-white color. It dries into a crusty formation around opened pierce and on jewelry.<\/p>\n
– pain, swelling, burning (area around the pierce is warm or hot on touch), excess redness and extraction of green-yellow liquid (mud). If you notice signs on infection do not remove the jewelry, report to your piercer or doctor. If you remove the jewelry the hole will close, and if there was an infection it will close it as well which can lead to abscess formation.
