One day, you notice that the skin around your piercing has turned red, and it doesn\u2019t look like your jewelry is in quite the same spot as it was before. What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Piercing rejection is a symptom of your body\u2019s natural healing process. Your body\u2019s job is to protect you from foreign entities that can harm you, and it views your jewelry as one of those entities. Once your body has labeled your new jewelry as an enemy that needs to be removed, it will begin the process of pushing your jewelry out, much like it would with an embedded splinter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can\u2019t blame your body for jewelry rejection; after all, it\u2019s just doing its job and trying to keep you healthy. Before your body starts rejecting your jewelry, you need to make certain choices to ensure that your body loves your new jewelry as much as you do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s a brief rundown on jewelry rejection, how to avoid it, and what to do if it happens.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_22495\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22495\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Woman-with-Medusa-Piercing-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with Medusa Piercing\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Woman-with-Medusa-Piercing-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Woman-with-Medusa-Piercing-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Woman-with-Medusa-Piercing-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Woman-with-Medusa-Piercing-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22495\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@phlmrtn?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Philip Martin<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/piercings?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What triggers piercing rejection?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Jewelry rejection occurs when your body detects something that shouldn\u2019t be there. Since the jewelry itself is a foreign object that your body will naturally want to remove, sometimes rejection occurs even if you do everything right.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, there are certain things that are shown to cause jewelry rejection:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Exposure to certain products during healing, like lotions, tea tree oil, or face wash<\/li>\r\n<li>Jewelry that pulls at the piercing holes, such as dangle jewelry or jewelry that\u2019s too large<\/li>\r\n<li>Snagged jewelry or other trauma caused to the piercing site<\/li>\r\n<li>Cheap alloys that irritate the skin<\/li>\r\n<li>Improperly placed piercings (usually surface piercings that were pierced too shallowly)<\/li>\r\n<li>Moving the jewelry too much<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>While most of these triggers occur during the healing period, rejection can occur at any time, so it&#8217;s important that you keep an eye on your piercing as long as you have it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I avoid jewelry rejection?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Simply, you must avoid the above triggers of piercing rejection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A big reason why it\u2019s so important to listen to your piercer when it comes to your starter jewelry is to avoid jewelry rejection. Choose jewelry that&#8217;s the proper shape and size so that it won&#8217;t harm the piercing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Much of the success of your piercing will depend upon the expertise of your piercer. This is why it\u2019s so important to do your due diligence and research a high-quality piercer. They will be able to help you choose the best starter jewelry, they\u2019ll conduct the piercing properly, and they\u2019ll give you all of the tips that you need to be successful. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/getting-pierced-how-to-find-a-good-piercer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our guide to finding a reputable piercer here.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once you\u2019ve been pierced, it\u2019s up to you to maintain the practices that give you the best chance of success. Use only all-natural aftercare products that won\u2019t irritate your piercing. Protect your jewelry from your clothing, hair, and other objects that can snag and damage your new piercing. Keep harmful chemicals well away from your healing piercing, and if you accidentally get soap or shampoo on the piercing as you shower, make sure that you fully rinse the area. Avoid sleeping directly on your healing piercing. Any large amount of pressure can deeply affect the healing of your new piercing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs of piercing rejection<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you ignore the signs of piercing rejection and allow it to progress, you could risk visible scarring. It\u2019s important, therefore, to know when your jewelry is migrating so that you can remove your jewelry and talk to your piercer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your body might be rejecting your jewelry if&#8230;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The jewelry has moved<\/li>\r\n<li>The skin above the jewelry is becoming thinner<\/li>\r\n<li>The piercing points are becoming red and flaky<\/li>\r\n<li>The piercing points are becoming bigger<\/li>\r\n<li>The jewelry doesn\u2019t fit snugly anymore<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that small scars are a risk in any piercing. Once you retire your piercing, no matter how far along it is in its rejection journey, you are likely to see a small permanent mark. By retiring the jewelry at the beginning of the rejection process, you minimize these marks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to stop jewelry rejection<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, when you see the signs of piercing rejection, it\u2019s often too late to do anything to stop it. Talk to your piercer ASAP. They will let you know what to do and likely remove your jewelry so that you can heal and try again when it is safe to do so.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_22496\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22496\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Man-with-Eyebrow-Piercing.jpg\" alt=\"Man with Eyebrow Piercing\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Man-with-Eyebrow-Piercing.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Man-with-Eyebrow-Piercing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Man-with-Eyebrow-Piercing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neilmedpac.com\/usa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Man-with-Eyebrow-Piercing-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22496\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@woody_cr?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Carlos Rom\u00e1n Ru\u00edz Basulto<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/piercings?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which piercings are rejected the most?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>All piercings can see jewelry rejection. But, some are more prone to rejection than others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Surface piercings are commonly rejected. This is because surface piercings pierce flat areas of skin, and if it\u2019s not pierced deeply enough, the body can easily push out the jewelry, like it does with a splinter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Eyebrow piercings are especially prone to rejection. If the piercing is not placed in appropriate tissue, this is especially true. These piercings are also sensitive to accidental jewelry snags. When this happens, an eyebrow piercing can experience rejection even if it is decades old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Belly button piercings are also no stranger to rejection. The fleshier skin makes for easy jewelry movement, and the location on the belly means that jewelry can be easily snagged and jolted. Although rejection usually happens during healing, rejection can happen in belly piercings that are years old, especially if you become pregnant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Although jewelry rejection is more common in the above piercing types, and it most often occurs during healing, it can happen in any piercing type at any time, so keep an eye on your piercing throughout its life to watch for signs of rejection and migration.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Jewelry rejection is a real bummer, especially if you\u2019ve worked hard to maintain great aftercare practices. However, it\u2019s not the end of the world. In terms of piercing complications, rejection likely won\u2019t prevent you from re-piercing in the future. Pay attention, and as long as you catch it early enough, you shouldn\u2019t see much scarring. The biggest setback will be to your wallet since you\u2019ll have to get re-pierced.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before your body starts rejecting your jewelry, you need to make certain choices to ensure that your body loves your new jewelry as much as you do.
