I avoided nickel, never tried titanium myself, used gold · 3 months ago
@digbat all piercings I'm wearing right now are made of titanium, that should be good, right? · 3 months ago
you could also consider the metal - some can cause problems · 3 months ago
Like what n2qfd said, be careful that you're not over-cleaning them. It's definitely difficult to find the right balance, but I can say that mine took several weeks before they stopped getting infected.
Also, I wouldn't recommend using soap to clean them, if you are. From what I've read, along with advice from my wife (who has many more piercings than I do), you essentially just want to use saltwater to flush them out. Don't take the piercings out; just try to irrigate them as best you can. I'd suggest using a little dropper or even a syringe to apply the water. If you're already doing that, they probably will just take time to heal. · 3 months ago
They aren't fresh right? You've had them for a while? Mine were a little prone to infection early on and I did find that if I overdid it with the cleaning I might leave them a little prone to drying out and cracking and getting infection again. But it does seem like it eventually went away. · 3 months ago
