A member asked:
What to do if i need some information on medusa piercings, do they swell and are they painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medusa Piercing: Medusa piercings can cause long-term damage to the teeth and gums as the back-disk of the jewelry continually rubs against the teeth and gums. Lack of proper oral hygiene invites infection. Do not do it!
