Suggest Remedies For Pain And Pus Accumulation In Pierced Nipples

Infected nipple piercing... I ve had my nipples pierced for about 5 months. They both seemed to get more crusty and painful at the same time. My right one is getting better, but the left one hurts so bad. Just wearing a bra or the jewelry moving. There s a little bump right above the pierced hold and it s filled with puss then blood. I popped it with a sterilized needle. Now what??

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

As the site has become infected with formation of abscess so i would recommend you to visit a surgeon. He will put an incision and drain all the pus and you will improve quickly. If you will continue to live with this then it will progress more and later will cause sever problem. Meanwhile for pain you can take acetaminophen twice daily.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
