4. Possible Risks

If, during the healing period of nipple piercing, a person does not follow the rules of hygiene, which can cause inflammation, pain, and suppuration. If any of these symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a doctor.

The most common causes of inflammation and problems during healing of the nipple piercing are mechanical injuries (touching jewelry, wearing a lace bra and mesh shirt on a naked body) and contact with dirty hands. Also, problems with regeneration can arise due to weakened immunity.

An allergic reaction to the metal the nipple piercing is made of can happen. If you insert an inappropriate decoration into a fresh puncture, many unpleasant consequences are possible: itching, rash, inflammation, and swelling at the puncture site.
