Nipple Piercing Risk and Precautions

Expressions of personal style are one reason why some individuals get nipple piercings, but nipple piercings come with certain risks and necessitate specific precautions to ensure proper recuperation. Here are some key points you should bear in mind:

Risks associated with Nipple Piercing

1. Infection: With piercing creating an open wound, bacteria can easily penetrate leading to infection.

2. Allergic Reactions: Some people may be allergic to particular metals that are used in making piercing jewelry such as nickel.

3. Scarring: If the piercing is not well taken care of it can result into developing excess scars or keloids on the body.

4. Nerve Damage: There is a risk of damaging the nerves in the nipple area which may affect sensitivity.

5. Migration or Rejection: The body might push the jewellery out over time and this would result into rejection of the piercing.

6. Bleeding and Swelling: Initial bleeding and swelling are normal, although too much bleeding could be dangerous.

Precautions

1. Choose a Professional Piercer: Confirm that your piercer has worked for long enough and follows strict hygiene guidelines while at work.

2. Use Hypoallergenic Jewelry: Choose materials like surgical steel, titanium, niobium because they have less chance of causing allergies to you.

3. Follow Aftercare Instructions: Rinse it using saline solution keeping unclean hands off touching it during cure period.

4. Avoid Submersion in Water: Resisting from swimming pools, hot tubs as well as any natural water.
