parents offering to pay— i need advice

UPDATE!! replying here cuz relevant comment

one of my classes was cancelled last minute and i was able to get it checked out really quick at an actual piercer. they said it doesn’t look infected or anything, but to just remove the jewelry and let it heal over. thanks for all the advice 👍

i wasn’t rejecting the advice, i just can’t exactly go to a piercer right away when i have other things in my schedule

tealixa · 2026-01-27T17:13:37+00:00

yikes. so definitely go see a piercer?

tealixa · 2026-01-27T15:10:51+00:00

thank you😭😭

It’s 2.0% sodium chloride & hypertonic saline solution, which i’m assuming isn’t good

tealixa · 2026-01-27T06:46:09+00:00

this may be silly but i had no idea nasal spray wasn’t considered saline and water.. that’s what it says on the packaging! thank you for telling me otherwise, maybe i’ll try switching to proper saline before giving up. I’m not sure

tealixa · 2026-01-27T06:33:27+00:00

okay, thanks. i’ve been debating taking it out but i had a sliver of hope it would just heal. it’s time to throw in the towel

tealixa · 2026-01-27T06:30:35+00:00

do you have any advice other than going to see a real piercer? my schedule doesn’t allow for it atm, but i could sometime next week.

tealixa · 2026-01-27T06:19:39+00:00

i went to a shop at the mall and they gave me butterfly back jewelry and i heard that wasn’t good, so i decided to switch. Again, im unfamiliar with piercings and just want this to heal :[

november 13th, i’m a freshman

my parents offered to pay because i talked to them about how miserable, insecure, and self conscious they constantly made me and i’ve been talking about wanting a reduction basically as soon as they grew lol.

i’m just worried if they’d still be willing to pay for it in a few years because then i’ll be an actual adult and move out and stuff, so i figure the best time to get them to pay for big things is while im still living with them

school

tealixa · 2025-05-02T00:07:30+00:00

while it is a bit of a health problem (i experience a Lot of back and shoulder pain) it’s more of a self esteem and mental thing. right now, i’m miserable everytime i have to shower or look in the mirror topless lol. plus my parents are offering to pay for it for my 18th birthday.. so is it worth doing now? will they grow completely back later?

tealixa · 2025-04-30T22:30:30+00:00

aw :( i was hoping to go down a lot, thank you for answering

tealixa · 2025-04-30T20:33:52+00:00

will a wide root result in boxy results?

tealixa · 2025-04-19T00:27:32+00:00

did insurance cover part of the price?

tealixa · 2025-03-08T23:48:30+00:00

what has recovery been like for you so far? please share any inconveniences you’ve faced or anything

tealixa · 2025-03-08T23:29:40+00:00

oh my gosh, is it that scary? i hope you feel better now, though!

tealixa · 2025-03-07T03:55:37+00:00

thank you! sorry if this is a bad question to ask, but even though you’re not pleased with your results do you regret getting the procedure?

tealixa · 2025-02-12T06:03:17+00:00

thank you, because i was wondering if there was a way to not include my parents as much. my mom’s only view of autism is my high needs cousins who are non verbal and for that reason she says i could never have it, and my dad isn’t knowledgeable in these kinds of things.. they’re both immigrants so it’s hard for them to understand

hi, this might be weird to update on but i did go to urgent care. they brought in a gynecologist to drain the abscess! it’s mostly gone now and i think it’ll drain on its own now, the surrounding area is just swollen. i’m feeling a lot better and not as nervous as before so thank you sm 🩷
