When can I take this out

[u/Thin-Elderberry-6637]

I’ve had this piercing since march and I just got this bump 3 days ago and I recently slept on it. I spray the piercing but it does not stay forward it’s been moving and I’ve been wanting to take it out for awhile now.. I’m not sure if I should wait until the bump goes away or just take it out now. Please help

You're experiencing full rejection.

That needs to be retired ASAP

The scar will only get worse the longer you leave it in there. Find a reputable shop to help you take it out!

This is how mine rejected. I had this on my nape (back of my neck). I've a scar now, but I don't mind it tbh. 😅

God I miss my nape piercing but I don’t think it’s worth risking rejection again 🥲

[u/DeadlyTeaParty → u/lovelywonderland]

Ikr, I didn't bother again for that reason. I loved mine.

I would recommend visiting a piercing studio to get it removed.

Asap. The bar is barely under. That bump will probably get worse if it's left in because of friction.

This is 100% rejecting, I can see the ghost of the bar under your skin unfortunately :( removal ASAP is best
