first comment!!!
thnx
how do you kno wat kind of bump it is just by looking at it?
boil or bacterial pockets can be painful red, or contain pus which obviously will be visible from the discharge and or blood. hypertrophic scars just form around the exit hole. they are not painful all it is a slight bump (i got one and i’m treating it with as the video said sea salt water with 1/4-1/8 sea salt-un idionized). last are the scariest of all the keloid ones :O these i don’t think i recommend doing anything yourself just go directly to the doctor.and they will make it all betta! : )
Sea Salt soaks didnt work for me. But tea tree oil did which can be found at your loval drug store
omg thnx im gonna try it !
what type of tea bags
hey is it OK to put tea tree oil on a keloid on in your mouth because i got my tongue pierced and i have the keloid around it so is it safe to put it in your mouth reply asap i’v had this problem for a while
The way she said “I hope you feel better” was so comforting that i sort of wanted to hug her, does anybody else feel that way? I’m having terrible piercing-boil problems, and I’m in intense pain, and for some reason her saying that made me smile.
@queenbee013 camomile tea bags
i had one on my bottom navel piercing for about 2 weeks…and it healed just by putting triple antibiotic on it…but it closed v_v and i had that piercing for 2 years already ugh..
i hope so too…
question: how do you distinguish the difference between a hypo watchamacallit scar and a keliod??
@Albanezkaa did doin this help your hypertrophic scar?
@sexyguttachick89 yeah it did quiet a bit. after the piercing has healed you can also use alcohol. but not early stages because it kills cells that help heal the skin and regenerate faster. no peroxide mixed with h20 either. i personally took mine out i have piereced it 4 times now lol but i’m just a fussy person i can’t stand that as cute as it looked on my cartilage : ) good luck and peace♥! (ps if you deciede to take out use only alcohol on it to make the bump dissappear).
@Albanezkaa THANKS!!!!!
she said teabags XD 1:15
what type of tea bags?
@Torieisaunicorn Chamomile is the best. Make sure it’s organic.
what do tea bags do mine nose piercing ive had for 6 to 7 months now and ive got this bump on my nose looks like a boil is their likley any chance it would go down with sea salt please help me! thank you
Thank you soooooo much Ms.Jackie!!!
) So I have hypertrophic bump, it’s not sore at all. I can’t wait to take out this hoop in my tragus piercings and put in some cute studs!! lol
Suld you wet the tea bag of just lay in on dry?
@LxtinxBonitx yes and no. boils and abscesses are often red and painful. they will sometimes puss when put into a salt water soak and are probably your culprit if you’re still healing your piercing. hypertrophic scarring occurs most often with a cartilage piercing and is a hard bump the same colour of your skin. keloids are crazy nuts and move beyond the piercing site. you’d know if you had a keloid, and really, they aren’t that common. however, they are often purple or reddish in colour.
i’m not even a professional and i know more than these people. argh *RAGE* they’re so annoying!
