A member asked:
I got a horizontal genital hood piercing four months ago and it's not infected but one side still seems to seep a snotty substance near the whole, why?

Still healing: Slowly. Likely with a low grade infection. I would suggest taking the ring (or whatever else you have in there) out and reconsidering whether you really want to alter your body in a way that can give you pain and a long-lasting infection..... In any event, if this doesn't resolve after taking the foreign object out within a week or two, see your doctor.
