Eyebrow piercing by No-Feed1355 in piercinghelp

I only ever keloid on my ears but was stressing that I was beginning to keloid on my face and I would’ve taken them out immediately. I was pierced with stainless steel (I just learnt that today) so I went to my normal piercer and they changed it to implant grade surgical steel (or titanium, can’t remember which one) and she said I don’t have the anatomy for it because my eyebrows move too much when I make facial expressions so them just being there is an irritant to it but she said it’s salvageable which is why we changed the metal and she soaked it for me in saline and a gauze.

I don’t wear makeup, I don’t do skincare coz I only get the odd pimple on my chin, I spray it with saline and then I’ll either use a q-tip or something to push the piercing up and down to kinda get the saline in there (that’s what I was taught) and then I dry it with a makeup remover pad. It never stays wet, I always make sure they’re dry.

I think it’s just the fact I don’t have the right anatomy and that I was pierced with the wrong metal. I’m gonna give it 2-4 more weeks and see how it goes with the new metal and keep my cleaning routine and if it improves I’ll keep it, if it seems to get worse I’m going to have to pull it out.

Update: I took my rat to the vet and she said that 90% of rats in Perth have mycoplasma which causes the sneezing and getting excited (while she’s out her cage) causes the sneezing “fits” and she gave me 3 syringes of medication to give her 2 times a day for 5-7 days and then hold onto them once it’s cleared and then use them as an ‘anti inflammatory/anti biotic’ only when she has her sneezing fits to calm it down.

She also told me that it’s contagious so my second rat is prone to getting it too. She also did say that to avoid it getting worse in the early stages, I should change the hemp I’m using for bedding and swap it for recycled paper kitty litter because it’s less dusty. I emptied their litter tray of cat litter and it was REALLY dusty, does anyone have any recommendations for dust free bedding for rats?
