HAFADA / SCROTUM

The scrotum piercing can be difficult to heal because of the constant contact with clothing and lack of ventilation. The scrotum expands and contracts, stressing the entrances of the piercing which can contribute to the piercing migrating/rejecting. Piercings can be made anywhere on the scrotum, though piercings made through outward facing folds of skin may decrease the likelihood of rejection or migration. Care must be taken not to puncture the testicle sac itself which can lead to very serious infection.

Occasionally a ring or extrusion of soft tissue will form around the entrance holes during healing. This condition is usually due to a combination of perspiration and dried discharge irritating the piercing entrances. Keeping the piercings dry during daytime activities by wearing cotton underwear to absorb perspiration and rinsing away perspiration will aid in healing. Salt water soaks will aid in healing and are very soothing.

Initial jewelry: Captive bead rings, bead rings, circular barbells in 14 to 10 gauge, 9/16» - 5/8» - 11/16» in diameter.
