Industrial Piercing?!?!?

Question

Okay so like 2 days ago i got an industrial piercing and the first and second day it was fine, but when i woke up this morning my ear was all bloody and gross, and so like i cleaned it but after that it wouldn't stop bleeding. sooo how do i make it stop bleeding because im like freaking out im gonna loose too much blood and like totally die, so how do i stop it?!?!

Answer 1

Go to your piercer and have them check it out. You're not going to lose too much blood and die though so stop freaking out about that. Blood is normal, my nose piercing had dried blood around it for a week or so. But if it is bleeding all the time and it's not dry, go to your piercer. But don't take it out, that might cause more problems.

Answer 2

Did you already take the piercing out. If you haven't and you're worried about dying... take it out ahah. Uhm if not, just wait, if it bleeds for more than a few hours go get it checked.  

Answer 3

well i do bdy piercing and well wen that happend that means it hit a small vien or it could be big so if it wont stop you should get that cheked hun!

Answer 4

Well you could have knocked into the piercing in your sleep which is very common with industrial piercings.

I'd suggest cleaning the piercing twice daily and make sure to get all the discharge and blood off of there.

Get some toiler paper and apply a little bit of pressure to the spot where it's bleeding.

When night comes, sleep on the side that doesn't have the piercing and get a very soft pillow just in case you do roll over on the side where the piercing's at.

Don't worry too much about the bleeding.

It's only temporary and it should go away shortly.

Answer 5

Try not to mess with it. The above is right, you probably just knocked it around a little. Also, there may be more swelling, putting extra pressure and irritating it, esp since it's only been a few days. Conversely, there could be less swelling, taking pressure off and allowing it room to bleed where before it was so tight again the bar that it couldn't.  Don't pick at it. That'll just make it bleed again. Do your sea salt soaks and leave it alone other than that. If you need to, you could use some tissue or gauze to apply very gentle pressure, mostly just soak up the blood until it stops.  

Answer 6

Your ear might be rejecting it.

Go to your piercer, or call them up. They'll know for sure what's going on.
