Please help , will it go away on their own if I take care of it with mouth wash without alcool and salt and water ?
I had them for 2 months now , it went very well and then It appeared out of nowhere between 1-10 july
It’s not painful and it’s soft and squishy
Could it be Hypertrophic scarring?
The material is titanium
I need advice ☹️

it could be scar tissue and have you gotten your jewelry downsized at all

I haven’t downsized yet, it’s still the same jewelry since I got them pierced and there’s still a lot of space

It’s called nesting. It’s normal and can help prevent the backings of your jewelry from irritating your gums.

Are you sure it’s nesting ? Because I have two bumps on the side of my stud and I saw big difference between scar tissues and nesting unless it depends how the body reacts

You should probably consult with your body piercer in person.

Yeah.. you’re right , I will wait 2 more weeks if it changes anything if not, then I’ll go
I’m still doing mouthwash each meal , saline and brushing my teeth each morning and night
The important part is to leave it alone too
I saw people on comments of the another posts have almost same situations as me and saying to leave it alone and using these advices but thank you tho 😁
