I am 29 years old never had children I have small breast with inverted nipples never had a piercing oh my never!!!!! But I have white discharge that comes out every day, I notice it when I'm showering I've been really worried about it, my doctor says its nothing to be worried about but I feel so grossed out and scared about it. So thank you so much for your posting it helps a little I will be getting it checked again by a different doctor any info really helps and goes a long way
I have many piercings. I have done them all by myself and never had an infection (tongue, lip, nipples, eyebrow, 6 in each ear, top and bottom belly button and my nose) have never had the white thick discharge except for a piercing that i have taken out to close it up. my nipples have just gotten redone after my pregnancy, I had my doctor do a look over to make sure it was ok to breast feed. He told me that there was nothing wrong with my nipples and it would not effect breast feeding. If u have not had your nipples pierced and u r getting this problem, it is a must u get them check out cause it could lead to breast cancer. I am a tattooist and i do piercings, it is my job on a daily basis and i see many horrible infections people come in with from other places. This young lady came into my shop one day, she had gotten her nipples done at a differnt place and showed me and asked for help. she had a horrible infection, possibly staff, she had RED RED lines shooting off of the tip of her nipple going all the way to the outside part of her boob. I sent her to the doctor come to find out if she would have waited any longer she would have lost her boob. The kind of nipple ring the guy put in when he pierced them were a cheep kind and because of the brand of metal it left shards of metal inside the new piercing. She got meds and let them close, had me redo them and she hasnt had a problem since.Just look out for odd symptoms
I had my nipples pierced at 28 and left them in for a couple of years then removed them. The thick funky discharge was there and has continued on during the last 11years. It's exactly like the thick white stuff that clogs your ears after being pierced and you remove your earring. I was able to breast feed our son for 2years with absolutely no issues except a little leakage from the piercing holes while using the breast pump. Some bouts with mastitis that had nothing to do with the piercings according to the doctor. He's now 3 and the thick, funky discharge is back....no biggie!
Same thing. Over here. I have had my nipples pierced twice and the old holes produce the white stuff after my second time of taking them out the right produced some out of the front of the nipple w a slight odor (minute really. Like my gauges when I take them out at night). Its no big deal keep it clean. I use a patchouli neroli solution in vitamin e oil when I express them and it has decreased the build up immensely.
Dear all,
