Nipple Troubles

    One of my five month old nipple piercings is acting up. It seems to have developed some sort of abcess below it, which is oozing blood and pus (charming, I know). What should I do about it? I know not to take it out, cos the abcess might get trapped inside the piercing if it heals up, and I'll do a hot compress on it for as long as I can, as often as I can.

    Mark at V is abroad atm, so I can't dash in and see him. Would the piercers at Snakebite mind me wandering in and asking for help on a piercing they didn't do?

    Cheers for any help

    Don't over do the hot compress/ sea salt soaks cos it most likely will dry out the area which you really dont want.

    Uhm whats best situation here... when you've a shower in the morning gently remove the crusties and stuff. The water will loosen it up a lot so should just be a matter of getting a q-tip and wiping away the excess. Then later in the day just sea salt soak the are. I find cotton pads the best cos cotton wool will get caught around the bars

    hope this helps, yeah sure pop into any of the places, im sure they wont mind
