Reoccurring puss filled spot on nipple

3 replies

Leanne053 · 14/03/2022 22:11

Hello! I had my nipples pierced for 8 or 9 years, towards the end I started to develop sores/blood filled blisters around the holes of the piercings and these would heal then return. Around Christmas I decided to remove them and let them heal. I still have slight redness where the sores were but no longer painful. I am however concerned that on my actual nipple just to the side of the opening I have this reoccurring yellow pimple which will burst, scab over, heal entirely and then return a couple of weeks later. Any ideas of what could help before I ask the gp?
Thanks Smile

I had the same issue and bathed in boiled salt water 3 times a day for a couple of weeks and no issues since

I have this same issue on one nipple! Also used to have piercings pre-DC and breastfeeding.

I bathe in salt water, drain the pus and just use salt water for a few days and it goes away - but then comes back a few weeks later!

Interested to hear what others have to say.

Interesting to know I'm not the only one! I'll start bathing it today and see how we get on! Thank you
