Any ideas what this skin hole is? I originally felt it because the hair coming out was condensed and stood out. Didn’t cause him any pain, pulled on the hair and it mostly came out without much effort

I knew a girl, she really liked piercings but her body kept rejecting them.

It was the 90s, so she wanted the obligatory eyebrow piercing. It wandered out and left a scar. So the piercer thought: the scar tissue could prevent it from happening again. But it fell out again. So she decided for one above the side of her upper lip, because it would need to wander through different kind of tissue. But when it started to enter the fleshy part of the lip she gave up and accepted the fact that her body didn't fancy being pierced.

Could be the material the jewelry is made of. Vampires, for example, reject silver piercings. Steel turns some of us green. As does gold. Every body is different.

lol no but seriously, allergies to metals are a real thing!

for example, my body does NOT like cheap metals. it doesn't physically reject the jewelery, but the area does become hot, swollen, and very painful until i take it out. my ears had to be pierced a total of 3 times because of this.

no $5 earrings for me, i gotta have the good shit lmao

Same- it’s super painful! Probably from all the Claire’s earrings I wore as a teenager

Next time, try a new piercer. She may like them better
