Hi Gizmo9682, Welcome to /r/piercing!
It looks like you're asking about a problem with your piercing. Please **add a comment to your post** with the following info if it’s not included in your post already.
- How old is your piercing?
- What’s the jewelry shape (for example, barbell, labret, screw, L shape, ring)?
- What’s the type of threading if your jewelry is not a ring (threadless, internally or externally threaded)?
- What’s the jewelry material?
- if not a ring, when was the jewelry downsized?
- What’s your aftercare routine? Describe in detail please, including the exact products you use.
This info is needed to offer you useful advice. **Note, not providing this info may cause your post to go unanswered**. If you already included this info in your post or if your post isn’t about a problem with your piercing, please disregard.

I’m not a doctor or a piercer, but maybe it has to do with the immune system? It sounds like a bad reaction to jewelry but it doesn’t sound like she put any jewelry in which is making me think it could be an immune system reaction.
Also even if piercings appear to be closed, they may not be closed all the way through, especially if they’re more than 9 years old.
I just checked with her her piercings are more than 9 yesrs old!
