What to do about nipple piercing infection - should i take out my ring ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Piercing infection: Oddly, sometimes removing jewelry from the piercing site can lead to the hole closing off and infection becoming walled off. I recommend seeing a physician for specific guidance.
