Slow down for piercing bumps!
👉 Irritation Bumps
Irritation bumps are common, especially on cartilage piercings. They’re caused by sleeping on the piercing, accidental hits, or general irritation. Avoid harsh treatments like tea tree oil and stick to gentle cleaning. Most irritation bumps heal in a few days to a couple of weeks.
👉 Incorrect Jewelry
Some piercings require specific jewelry to heal properly. For example, straight labrets work best for many cartilage piercings, while daiths need circular jewelry and rooks need curved barbells. Wrong jewelry can cause bumps—always double-check your style!
👉 Pressure & Incorrect Piercing
Piercings done at the wrong angle or with uneven pressure can create bumps. Sometimes switching to smaller ends helps, but in severe cases, removal and re-piercing may be necessary. A piercer using compression techniques can help prevent bumps from forming.
👉 Prevention Tips
Sleeping carefully, choosing the right jewelry, and visiting a skilled piercer can drastically reduce bumps. Proper care and planning make the journey to a perfect piercing much smoother.
