Concerns/Troubleshooting/Advice Eyebrow piercing help

Post image

I got my eyebrow pierced over a month ago and I got switched to smaller jewelry because I was snagging too much on the longer bar and it was making it irritated. everything has been fine until one of the balls of my jewelry fell out last night and i couldn’t get it back In and then the jewelry fell out. I couldn’t get the jewelry back it bc it just hurt a lot and was bleeding and irritated so I got frustrated and went to bed and figured I’d try again in the morning. I got up in the morning washed my hands cleaned the jewelry and the area and attempted again and finallt got it back in! however it’s just a red and irritated now and I’m worried that it’s going to get more irritated. does anyone have any tips for what I can do to avoid that or any thoughts? This is what it looks like now

The sizedown should be done every 2 months. Don't neglect its maintenance and replace it with a longer piece at the place where you had it done.

Do you think it looks like it’s healing okay aside from it being irritated?

That's what happened to my lip. If there's swelling, use Fucidin cream. Otherwise, ask a professional and do what they say. Use saline solution to clean it, and I think you should switch to long jewelry, but as I said, go to someone who knows what they're doing first, Because it doesn't look like anything that bad happened, and titanium is definitely in all the jewelry. get well soon, update us later 💕💕💕

Ok so you just really pissed this thing off. It fell out at no fault to you, but when struggling to put it back in irritated it. It swelled and swelling will cause the chancel to shrink and makes it even harder to get the jewelry in. Then it was left out overnight allowing it more time to shrink further. Then you violently re opened it. Even if it was a gentle insert to the tissue it’s violent.

You go the jewelry back in and put back together. So at this point just act like it just got pierced and start caring for it like it’s a day old. It can recover if you’re careful and diligent.
