Piercing bumps. Let's talk

Very likely "irritation bumps" AKA hyper granulation or pyogenic granulomas

But it could be:

Keilods

Hematomas

Rejection bumps

Hypertrophic scarring

Argyria

Infection

Fissures

My main point here is to not jump onto Google looking for home-remedies...please visit your local reputable piercer so they can troubleshoot, take a look and talk through your aftercare treatment going forward.

So we're not going to discuss the other types bumps today but we're going to breakdown as tailored as possible the most come bump..."irritation bumps"

What should I not do?:

- Remove the source of irritation: Don't put pressure on your healing piercing (DON'T SLEEP ON IT!) get yourself a travel pillow, or sleep on the other side.

- Get booked in for your downsize or jewellery correction once you've spoken to your piercer.

- Don't fiddle!: Don't pick, twist or play. Just leave it the hell alone. Touching=irritation
