xTVRx was stretching his nipples using jewelry wrapped in PTFE tape and woke up in the morning with this terrible bubble of pus. Way too gross, so I put the picture after the break!!!

i just want to squeeze it
omfg my eyes got HUGE when i clicked that LOL
OUCH! It looks like the tape would have irritated the piercing pretty quickly – it’s all crinkled from being wrapped around the awkwardly-shaped jewellery, which would leave plenty of room for bacteria, as well as the ridges of the tape causing irritation. Poor guy 🙁
PTFE tape can do this overnight,I know for a fact!
Twice I tried using it for stretching my lobes.. The first time I put a few wraps on my plug and stretched ( not a huge stretch) It just was a little warm from the stretch. went to bed and woke up with my ear looking as if it was going to rot off with infection. I didn’t think it was from the tape though…
Later about a year after I used the tape again and the same thing happened overnight..
Needless to say I wont to that again.
The best thing for the puss filled bubble would be sea salt soaks.
That right there is my worst nightmare…
Had each nip pierced 3 times, NEVER had anything like that happen!
And yeah… ummm people, should this happen to you…
LEAVE IT ALONE! Don’t pop it! Hot compresses!!! Let it do it’s thing, or you’ll make it sooo much worse!
yuck! that’s terrible.
I totally am hands-off when it comes to piercings, especially irritated ones…. but I don’t know if I could resist poping that…. I mean, think of all the pressure it would relieve. haha 😉
I bet if he soaks that thing it’s going to go off like a friggin bomb. And feel much better.
wowza, dammmmn, woooooooooooooooooahh!!!!
nomnomnom
After being a member of bad_porn on livejournal, I can honestly say this is nothing.
omg…wow. Gross.
i really want to pop that. . .haha
The only thing I can think of is how fun that would be to squeeze..
Ohhhhhhhh No! haha
I would have great pleasure in bursting that bubble!
I periodically have similar (much smaller) bumps to the above developing at either ends of my nipple piercings. I have had Bio-Plast jewelery in the piercings the whole time and they have been healed for about a year and a half now. I find the best solution for me is to clean them thoroughly, lance and drain them and then apply Fucidin cream which is a topical anti-biotic cream of which the active ingredient is Na Fusidate. I also apply a warm (HUGE EMPHASIS ON CLEAN!) compress before rubbing the cream in with a fresh earbud (q-tip)
This generally cleans everything up and they are back to their former happy state within a few days.
I have no idea if Fucidin is available overseas, but here in South Africa it is Shedule 4 and only available by perscription – unless you chat nicely to the pretty pharmacy lady and explain that there is no possible way for one to abuse it! (or is there???)
See? We get a warning for a bubble of pus but not for someone chopping half their knob off! Weird…
the time to remove the decoration. imho
OOOH MY FUCKING ZOMBIE CHRIST ON A POGO STICK!!!…..my nip did that once but not that badly
thats gotta hurt fo shure damn …
#1. Agreed. FUCK ME! ><
WHAT DID HE THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN!?
Well, that just talked me out of ever using any sort of tape to stretch ANYTHING.
ewwww….
FuckingClassy ~ Some people never have any problems using tape for stretching.. and some well.. have horrible problems.
Some of my friends swear by it, but I can’t use it.
Probably a better idea to not use it though, just so you don’t have to find out if you can or can’t use it.
NIPPLE STRETCHIN
YR DOIN IT WRONG!!
I’ve gotta go squeese some spots now just to get over the huge urge to pop that thing!!
Jeeeeeesus… feeling rather sick now……
I had something like that on my tit ring once but I think thats just because I didn’t clean it for a couple of days…
xxx
wath a disgusting pic¡¡¡ you should be carefull man, i hope you have an extra nipple
i have a strange urge to pop that.
PTFE STRETCHING:
Ur doing it wrong…
epic fail!
As someone who frequently reads and sometimes contributes to the TMI forum on IAM…. this is awesomely gross!
How would you like to suck that nipple. Man that would be so great . o-boy just made myself puck……….
yuck. looks like its gonna explode! Draining that must have been a traumatizing experiance!
Holy high res infection, Batman!
it’s not that hard to soak that shit a few times a day. a rocks glass, a gallon of distilled water, and some kosher sea salt….
granted, it’s like 200% magnified or some shit, but that looks pretty damn septic…
take care!
nom nom nom, ((: mooooore!
#74 is right, I had almost the same problem (I just did not let it get that bad) by using tape, clean, just one wrap around and it started forming a buble in less that 1 hour and half (also on a niple). Later I redid with proper (titanium) jewelery strenthing probably faster and I had no problems… Just someone has sensitive skin…
Not sure if anyone else has noticed how dirty the BCR around the ball and where he hasn’t taped it. I’m not suprised he’s got an infection like that!
Donna – ME TOO
ahhh it looks like a maggot is skewered onto it!!!
oh man, think of the RANGE you would get if you popped that thing!
ugh, obviously a very bad idea, but i couldn’t resist!
wow…how that happens i’ll never know…mine has never been that bad. and i did mine myself with a safety pin and a piece of ice on new years day in 2005…i don’t think i’ve even had it get pussy. it bled after i did it, was sore for a few days, lost feeling while it was healing for a bit–then it was fine.
i hope it gets fixed or something. drained or better or whatever. good luck with that.
damn
both my nipples are stretched to 3mm, and i have never had a problem like this… i always use a sterilised insertion pin and jewellery… People should research the correct procedure, or get a pro to do it….
LOL @ #86!
looks as though the ring is a worm of some sort… fuckin’ ring worms *barf*
Oooooooh thats nasty.
i wanna pop it.
I wonder how it smells?
My question is why would you stretch w/ tape O_O
