I am a 29 year old male and I have nipple rings. The one on my left healed just fine but the one on my right has always given me problems. First off it was pierced deeper than the one on my left. A couple times while cleaning and reinserting the bar, it would actually go into a pocked located to the right of my right nipple. Occasionally this same pocket would swell with puss and actually “pop” when squeezed. Most recently (last 2 months), I have developed a very sensitive lump directly under my right nipple that secretes a clear discharge when squeezed. Both these lumps appear to be independent of one another however sometimes they are both present. I am not sure if they are all related or not at all. I don’t want to take the ring out without expert advice for fear of the piercing holes closing up and leaving whatever mess trapped inside. I am healthy, no drugs, casual alcohol consumption (10 beers/wk). I take men’s pro health multi vitamin, green coffee bean extract, vitamin C, and a small dose of apple cider vinegar daily. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
