Infected Piercing
LB Casey wrote:
I had nipple piercings for 2 years and when my left nipple started
swelling and oozing clear fluid, i took the piercing out. this started happening
after i was on penicillin for 3 days. i stopped taking penicillin and have been
using antibiotic cream over the counter for the past 4 days, the swelling
comes and goes a little, but never gone all the way, the nipple aches and
sometimes has sting pain, there is what i call a cross between a wart or blister
looking bump on top of the nipple north of the scar tissue from the piercing, that’s
the best way to describe it, and it is still red. the red nipple looks fine,
although aches and is sensitive. please help.
Dear LB,
Have you tried warm compresses? I would suggest a doctor visit. Sounds like you have an infection of some sort. It is strange how it was activated by the use of an antibiotic. Perhaps there was a cyst that burst.
Good luck,
