Herpes and piercings?


Recommended Posts

Hey again, all. It's been a while since I've been on but now that I am I'm thinking of all these questions. Since I got my confirmation, and before that, during my outbreak, I've been having issues with my nipple piercings. I was warned by my friend before I got them done that they would get randomly angry for the first year or so (I've had them for about 6 months), but since I got this silly virus they've really been acting up. I could very well be paranoid that H is the cause of this and it's actually normal, but I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with piercings since getting the virus? All my other piercings are just on my ears/cartilage and I haven't really had problems with those. Google tells me nothing, but I'm talking to my piercer next weekend so maybe that can solve it.

Hey boot,

 

nipple piercings are highly sensitive for the the first year. H should not effect it. Talk to your doctor rather than your piercer, they will give you a better explanation. if you are having an OB your immune system might be running "half-speed" so to say. and nipple piercings only 6 months old might not be healed, theres also the possibility of a keliod (painful scar tissue from a piercing)

 

I had the same questions about being able to finish my tattoos and piercings with my doc.

 

I hope this helps you.

Turns out it was the stress and had nothing to do with the virus itself. I'm very aware they're not healed yet, but I hadn't really had any problems with them up until then. So for future reference, anyone that might be having issues with piercings healing after getting H, it's probably not H itself, but the emotional stress.
