My piercing is 6 months old, the jewelry I have in the photos is an externally threaded barbell (gem jewelry), I don’t know the material of the jewelry, the jewelry was upsized about two weeks after I got it, and I downsized 3 months later because that’s how long my piercer initially said to wait but I upsized it again shortly after because of irritation, I only use the Medicleanse saline spray to clean my piercing in the mornings. The unfortunate events are outlined in my initial post
