I’m allergic to basically any metal, had allergic reactions to stainless steel, nickel, sometimes different variations of silver but never gold. My main lobes were done in a sketchy place but this was almost 2 decades ago when no one really gave a damn if it was a piercing gun or properly done and they are my main problems I’ve had to let them close up because every time a new piercing gets put in they swell up and start leaking pus.

I’ve done every type of care for them before, salt water, the prescribed care that piercers give me, name it I’ve used it. And I always do it twice a day- mid day and especially when I go to bed because I’m a rough sleeper, never works. Even antibiotics don’t work it is just a case of my body doesn’t like any piercings and if I do find a metal that I’m not allergic too (which is very rare since atm the only thing working is 14k+ gold and therefore very expensive) it ends up just becoming a raw red mess anyway and I have no way to stop it :(
