The most common bumps you can get from piercings look like these. Causes   There are several things that can cause these annoying little things.  Poor fitting jewelry, playing with your piercing too much, giving it a good pull etc. So how to fix it.  In my experience there is only one way to deal with this problem and that is with wet heat. So take a wet hot cloth, as hot as you can stand it and apply it to the area.  Leave it on until it cools.  Then follow it up with some sea salts to dry it...

Vertical Clitoral Hood (VCH) To listen to some chatting about this piercing please see the link below. https://www.facebook.com/lovemypiercings/videos/800211566842004/    This piercing should be done with a straight or curved 14 gauge barbell.  You can ask for a hoop but your chances of ripping your hood increase.  Anything thinner than 14 gauge is not acceptable as it will act like a razor likely ripping your tissue during healing.  Once it's healed you can use 16 gauge as well but don't go any thinner.  The top ball of the barbell should be at the very top of your hood.  Because of this,...

It’s important to increase your size one gauge at a time to prevent blowouts and scarring.  Try to consider that you may change your mind...

This can be frustrating for most so doing a blog about it seemed like a good idea.     Let's work with the right diameter first.  All body jewelry is and should be stated as the inside diameter of the hoop.  What you need to do if find yourself a ruler.  Using the mm part, place it from your piercing to the rim of your nose.  There's your diameter. That will give you a comfy fit without the hoop hanging down.  Many like to have a hoop that's a bit larger so just add 2mm to that to give you the...
