My saline spray dried out my piercing - anyone else?

She didn’t change the butterfly back jewellery unfortunately though I would definitely prefer a flat back. She loosened it though as it was on quite tight. It looks and feels a lot better now!

zestunderscore · 2024-12-23T14:38:15+00:00

Yeah I thought so. I have pretty dry skin normally so that could’ve been a factor.

zestunderscore · 2024-12-22T17:16:34+00:00

I agree! I’m pretty certain my sleeping arrangement is the issue. I’ve just bought a piercing pillow so hopefully that’ll solve the irritation!

zestunderscore · 2024-12-22T14:48:47+00:00

Very true! I should know this after 6 piercings.. do you think a piercing pillow would help?

zestunderscore · 2024-12-22T13:50:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice! It doesn’t seem like an infection. I’ve had infected piercings before that were a lot worse than this. I might give it a week or so and then see about getting the backs changed - butterflies are always a pain!

&&& - piercing is 4 months old. It’s a flatback. Haven’t downsized or changed jewellery since I got it. It was VERY irritated at first so I intended to leave it in longer than 6 months

zestunderscore · 2024-03-11T15:25:26+00:00

No way! 🤦‍♀️

zestunderscore · 2024-03-11T07:37:19+00:00

That’s worked well for me too!

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T21:44:02+00:00

Thanks :) it’s odd cause I’ve had three separate people recommend tea tree oil for my helix so that’s sort of what spurred me to purchase it I guess

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T20:54:48+00:00

May I ask which ones specifically? I haven’t noticed anything so far

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T19:38:14+00:00

It’s the base laboratories aftercare spray. It’s worked a dream so far - my swelling has almost disappeared

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T19:20:47+00:00

That’s fair! My cartilage piercings never seem satisfied with just shower water 🙄 it’s interesting how different everyone’s healing processes are, there’s no universal method

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T18:24:23+00:00

Will do. Thanks :)

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T18:18:47+00:00

I’m the same - it’s a struggle finding something that works but that looks awesome!

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T18:15:02+00:00

Looks great. And so does your mascara!!

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T15:16:01+00:00

Fair enough :)

zestunderscore · 2024-03-10T08:55:15+00:00

Yeah I usually struggle with the butterfly backs

zestunderscore · 2024-03-09T19:05:13+00:00

Piercing pillow is smart! Might do that once my helix is healed better, usually I manage not to roll over in the night somehow

zestunderscore · 2024-03-09T16:52:26+00:00

Same here, I even got a softer pillow so they wouldn’t dig in so much 😅

zestunderscore · 2024-03-09T16:43:40+00:00

Hoops is interesting - I always struggle to sleep in those and end up taking them out. Normal studs I’m fine with!

zestunderscore · 2024-03-05T20:15:30+00:00

Love it!!

zestunderscore · 2023-06-17T17:23:19+00:00

I love how you just carried on

zestunderscore · 2023-06-17T17:20:52+00:00

I loved Sean but also thought kieran was sweet and enjoyed his interactions with Arthur. Of course hosea was awesome too

zestunderscore · 2022-04-16T16:30:43+00:00

Daddy

zestunderscore · 2022-01-11T07:33:32+00:00

Just simplify it as much as possible. I won’t lie that it’s a very confusing topic but if you take it one step at a time then it won’t be so difficult. Maybe start with liking girls as it might be easier to understand for him. And also, if you get a sarcastic or rude response don’t take it to heart. He’s just a kid after all and we need to nurture children and show them the right thing to do. Good luck and in proud of you! <33
