I got my nipples pierced 4 years ago. I changed the rings to barbells about a week ago and one of them swelled up slightly and still has the same amount of swelling now.
Will this go away and what should i do?
Are you cleaning the piercings at all? Do you try to move the barbell?
After that length of time, you should not have any problems with your piercings. If you changed them and then have this problem, you have been doing something to them for a while and because you have fitting barbells, you can now see the problem better.
If you are doing something, PLEASE STOP DOING ANYTHING AT ALL. In the shower, just let warm water run over them and wipe of any crusties with a Q-tip.
Keep in touch.
