I have recently been/or thinking of getting pierced but I am not sure about healing times? Most if not all new piercing are sore, tender or red for several days after and upto three weeks after. Complete healing normally takes several weeks or longer.
Listed here are some guidlines/approximate times for healing. During this period care must be taken to avoid infection. Sexual activity is discouraged for genital and oral piercings to avoid infection. Head/Face
Torso
Female Genital Piercings
Male Genital Piercings
Primary healing usually takes about as long as is listed above; the body jewellery should not be removed during this time as the healing time should not be rushed.
Very often a piercing that seems to be healed will start to have problems if handled without care, exposed to oral contact or unwashed hands if it is not truly healed. Full healing begins after primary healing is complete and usually takes about the same amount of time again as primary healing, during this period the skin will thicken and regains elasticity.
An additional "toughening up" period takes place after full healing is complete, this period takes about the same amount of time as the primary healing time. During this time the skin remodels itself developing an internal texture in the fistula tube that replaces the shiny scar-like internal surface.
Behavior that may hinder healing
How do I measure for flesh tunnels? For correct measuring of flesh tunnels the size given is the size of the 'saddle' of the tunnel e.g. the part that sits in your ear when the tunnel is fitted. This means that the actual diameter of the outside of the tunnel will usually be 1-2mm larger so please ensure that you allow for this. This is intentional as this ensures that the item will actuall fit into the hole snuggly.
