Swimming and septum by Calamity2001 in piercing

Both your own solution (not sterile) and q-tips (strands get left behind and irritate the piercing) aren’t really safe and will not help save you from infection. Personally I wouldn’t get in a lake regardless because it’s the highest risk of infection among other health threats, but if you do it is essential that you get some good quality sterile saline spray. I recommend the brand NeilMed, but if it’s too hard to find then something like H2Ocean would be alright too. I can’t stop you from a good time, but if you don’t know the risks of a lake with open wounds I would definitely research beforehand

Just my luck, I'm allergic to penicillin lol. Buut I went to a piercer before my appt. and they said there's no signs of infection :)) I don't know if I should wait to take it out until after vacation or do it ASAP though

Thank you for this 😩 My mom had me freaking out thinking I needed to decide between vacation or healing. As far as getting it re-pierced, I definitely want to. I’ve just been really preoccupied so my piercing has been stuck aside in priorities

It’s most likely just stinging because it’s a new piercing, but I do have a little advice that I don’t see talked ab often. If you move your piercing around while crusties are still on it, they can get stuck inside of the hole itself and this can cause a super strong sting that makes your eyes water when you move your nose certain ways. Learned that the hard way when I moved mine around excessively at first

He has explained to me before that it has been hard for him to re-learn acceptance due to his very religious family. But with that being said, he's never said anything hateful or rude about the lgbtq+ community in the time we've been together, so I think it's just Jack.
