How can I tell if my Piercing has healed ?
Posted by KYRA on 11th Oct 2024
Signs your Piercing has healed:
No Redness or Swelling: In the initial stages of healing, redness, and inflamation/swelling, are common. However, these symptoms tend to reduce with time. Eventually, the redness around the piercing is gone and the colour of skin around the piercing holes matches the rest of your skin.
No Pain or Discomfort: A healed piercing feels comfortable, even when touched or moved. One is able freely able to gently move the jewellery without feeling sore.
Fully Formed Piercing Channel: This is an internal channel of skin that forms around the jewelry aka 'Fistula'. While it's hard to see, once it’s fully formed, the piercing feels settled and doesn't get irritated easily.
