They went in super easy but today the are trender and sensitive again. Does anyone have any knowledge as to why. I'm not alergic to hydrogen peroxide and the jewelry is supposed to be titanium(i am alergic to nickel). Any help would be appreciated maybe this will just go away in a few days.
Thanks Ladies

Hi,
I'd be too chicken to do that, but to each her own!
Anyway, part of the problem may be that you used hydrogen peroxide. I learned in school in my first wound care course that hydrogen peroxide is a non-selective debrider.
That means that it not only kills 'bad' bacteria or germs but it 'kills' good tissue as well. You should only use hydrogen peroxide when you initially get a cut or scrape or 'wound', just to clean and sterilize the area. After that, use maybe an antibiotic cream or the solution that we all used when we had our ears pierced.
I hope this helps.
