Do surgical steel 14G 316L belly jewlery give you green skin where the jewlery hav been.is it ok to use?

It is probably not really surgical steel, as it says, cheap metals make my piercings do this - I don't' know if it is really an infection or what, but I do know that if you have this green crud and you let a piercing heal shut it will leave a little green "dot" where the hole was.  I think I would clean it good with peroxide to get the crud to bubble out and then buy my jewelry at a piercing shop, only, not a cheap place in the mall, etc.

Ive been a gem cutter for nearly 35 years...Gunner is right on his points about opal, but your case is a little different with what you have...If you would like to email me at tahoeman_69@sbcglobal.net or IM me at tahoeman_69, I would be happy to discuss everything you would like to know...It is really more involved than I can describe here and I think it would help to uncomplicate the process if we talked via messenger...

What is your cleaning regiment? I would suggest that you clean it twice a day with Dye-free, fragrence-free anti-bacterial handsoap and then also do a sea salt soak. Its best to do both, soak with the salt solution and then cleanse with the soap solution. \n1. In a glass of warm water (to dissolve the salt) stir about a half a teaspoon of sea salt in. (At the grocery store they will carry grindable sea salt on the baking aisle. I find this easier to use and also you can measure it out easier). Get some cotton pads (Little squares of cotton sold near the cosmetics) and soak it in the salt solution. Then while you are laying down, lay the pad on top of the piercing. Let it rest there for about 8 - 10 minutes. \n2. After the salt soak, clean the piercing with warm water and the anti-bactieral soap. Using a Q-Tip will make it easier so that you can direct the water and soap into the crevases. Make sure to work the jewelry around so that the cleaner gets into the peircing. This step will take about 5 minutes.

I am a MRI technologist who is in direct contact with the magnet on a daily basis.  I have 9 piercings in my ear, a tongue ring, a nipple ring and a belly ring.  I have never had the magnet rip out any piercings.  As a patient, if I were going to be scanning your head, I would ask that you remove any piercings in that direct area.  They can cause an artifact on your images.  If I were doing a MRI on your hand, I would ask you remove any rings or bracelets.  You should always remove watches for any exam as the magnet will break the watch.\n\nHere is what I found:\n\n"Jewelry: Xrays, MRIs, and CT Scans\n• Metal body jewelry will result in an opaque density on x-rays, but will not otherwise affect visibility on film\n• Nipple piercings are unlikely to obstruct visibility of any pathology on thoracic x-rays if both frontal and lateral views are taken\n•** Appropriate body jewelry is non-magnetic, and as such does not need to be removed for MRI procedures* unless it is located in the region being examined\n\nhttp://www.safepiercing.org/troubleshooting.html\n\n"Appropriate metal body jewelry is not magnetic, and as such does not need to be removed for MRI procedures unless it is located in the region being examined. Gold jewelry is much more thermal-conductive than steel."\n\nhttp://www.navel-rings.net/troubleshooting.html

as a body piercer, I can tell you that it wont heal fast, because you pierced it yourself.Sewing needles are made of bad quality metals that usuially cause more irritation to the piercing.\nOnce the swelling goes down it wont rub on your gums as much.\nBut I dont quite understand what you did. Please answer some of the following questions, and I'll change my answer to help you out more.\n1) What type of jewlery do you have in now? What gauge and size is it? Is it a hoop? labet post? earring stud? What material or typer of metal is it made out of?\n2)did you clean anything before you pierced it?\n3)How have you been cleaning it?

During surgery, we often use electro-cautery.  Metal implanted in the body may act as a ground and may burn you around the piercing.  Also, secondarily people have been accused of removing rings, watches ear rings etc after the patient is asleep.\n\nIf it is in when you are taken to the OR, it will be removed.  Cut off if needed and returned to you in a little plastic baggie.

It depends if you are re-piercing in the same spot if you are the scar tissue will create a infection in most cases. If you are piercing around the edges of your bellybutton you are now getting into surface piercing which is hard to clean

I know what you should do!\n\nThey have advertisements talking about the invisible tummy trimmer. It is like a dress and when you wear the invisible tummy trimmer, it will look like you have lost a lot of kilos. Buy the invisible tummy trimmer and try it for the wedding. Colours may come in black or navy.\n\nThanks for the lovely question.

Yes, I would call your dr.. ob/gyn and make sure that the skin cream is safe to use before using it.

Your systemic Ph (acidity) causes this. One reason ancient people revered gold was for it's healing powers. They believed the "green" is actually poisons being removed from your body by the gold. If you don't have these poisons, then the gold will not turn you green. The same reason for wearing copper bracelets.....POSSIBLE don't you think?

It's not really that exciting of a piercing, and depending on your ta-ta's size, you may not have a choice as to what kind of ring you put in it. I have large ones, so I had posts similar to those used in the tongue. Plus, because something is always rubbing against it, it gets infected easily. I would not recommend it. I had to take mine out for surgery, and I really didn't miss them.\nI also had a below the belt piercing, and those are hot, but if you are pierced to close to a nerve you get that pain-pleasure thing, which isn't always nice. Good luck!

Sure can.  Go to your ob and have them check for a blood clot.  You could have 'old blood' behind the incision causing it to become infected.  Get this taken care of asap because it can cause toxic blood.

You mean top or bottom? Well my sister got the top done, I think that's the most popular spot. As for getting infections, you should talk to your doctor about it or whoever pierces it. I would suggest jsut keeping it clean, and change it regularly (rust, yucky!) lol I don't know if it's possible for the barbell (sp?) to get rusty. Another thing for you to ask about! :P Happy early 16th! I just recently turned 16. You should get your license too.

I have to answer this one...I think I may actually qualify as an expert on this subject. I have every color of belly button lint imaginable - I collect it from my family (my boyfriend and my two sons and myself of course). I would say that blue/grey is most common. I also have a few decidely red; orange; green; etc. For safe keeping and future reference work (!!) I store this collection in a pill bottle. The collection dates back about 6 years now.

How long ago did you get it pierced? If within the last few days, it could just be from well... getting it pierced. \n\nIf it been a while since you got it done, then if its infected it would be purple-red, may bleed a bit, etc.\n\nDONT TAKE IT OUT!!!!!! If it is infact infected and you remove the jewelry... then the infection will get trapped underneath the skin and lead to far worse problems.\n\nI had this problem with my eyebrow ring. Took about 2-3 years to heal. Always was discolored, bled, puss, and hurt. Just love my piercings too darn much to remove them.\n\nI would do a hot compress a couple times a day. It worked. If you dont know how to do such... take a paper towel ( important not to use a washcloth because it harbors so much bacteria ), get it soaked with as hot of water as you can stand, hold on the piercing until the paper towel becomes cold, repeat! \n\nIf you are really worried, go to a professional piercer for help. You may be allergic to the type of metal used, your jewelry could be too small, or various other reasons.

Neosporin may be one of the culprits.  It prevents oxygen from reaching the wound and leaves a sticky residue which can cause other problems.  Peroxide is also not the best choice for aftercare.  It's too strong and very drying.  If you have pain, try a salt water soak.  For cleaning, anti-bacterial soap works best and make sure you move the jewelry as you clean the piercing to keep that clean as well.\n\nI have several piercings and each one healed differently.  Hopefully with a consistent routine of cleaning the piercing twice a day with anti-bacterial soap for a week or two, you will notice a vast improvement.  A good piercing shop will also be willing to help you out and give you some tips.  Good luck!
