So, I have a bit of a predicament here—and it’s honestly becoming quite a nuisance. It seems my denim doesn't last longer than a month or two before they inevitably give out right in the crotch area. Just... friction, I suppose. I was wondering if anyone else deals with this particular issue? And more importantly, how on earth did you solve it? If anyone knows of any jeans that are actually durable enough to withstand the wear and tear without costing an absolute fortune, please let me know—it would be a total lifesaver, because this is starting to drive me a little crazy. I’ve already gone through three pairs since September—one from Gap, two from S.Oliver, and even these new ones from Tom Tailor are already showing signs of thinning. People, please... help!
Thanks in advance 🙂

Honestly, you might be better off just taking it out entirely rather than trying to force anything—it could lead to much worse inflammation, and then you're looking at real problems. Maybe just accept that you'll have two little piercings... 🙂
Heh, well, I think I'm going to try and pop it back in anyway.🙂
Susan Long said:I went through that exact same ordeal myself—dealing with that cartilage piercing issue—and, well, after more than a year of dealing with it, I suppose everything is mostly fine now. It’s just... if I happen to sleep on my left side, I still get this nagging pain—and occasionally even some bleeding if I’m particularly stubborn about staying on that side all night. It isn't exactly a catastrophe, though—not by any means—but it is a bit of an inconvenience, I guess. Everything is five out of five now, for the most part. 🙂
Well, I suppose—if one were being particularly thorough—it hadn't even crossed my mind to suggest taking out the earring. 😁
Well, I suppose I was a bit overly optimistic—perhaps even a little naive—when I thought that if I just went ahead and extracted the splinter myself, the inflammation would clear up more quickly. It seemed like a logical shortcut at the time, I guess. But now, after having managed to pull it out, I’ve found myself in a rather frustrating predicament... it simply won't go back in properly. 😢
Alright, thanks for that... though I have to wonder—does it actually hurt when you touch it? Because, well, I don't exactly have the lump anymore since I managed to squeeze it out—if that's even the right way to put it—but it still feels quite tender to the touch...
So, about three months ago, I decided to get my third piercing on my left ear... At first, the area just turned red and was tender to the touch. I assumed it was just a standard reaction, you know? But even after three months, it still hurts—I’ve been applying some hydrocortisone and I actually took the earring out entirely. Now, when I touch it, there's this hardness there, and whenever I attempt to slide an earring back in, it starts bleeding—well, more like a little spotting than actual bleeding, I suppose. Plus, I can't seem to get the jewelry through to the other side. About a week ago, I squeezed out something whitish, almost like a plug, and that’s when I finally removed the earring for good. Is this a sign that I should be sounding the alarm and heading to a doctor, or should I just stick with the cream and wait for it to heal completely? And, if I may ask, is it actually possible that the piercer accidentally nicked a nerve or something similar?
Thanks in advance 🙂
