I had a piercing in the outer conch of my ear about 3 months ago maybe? but it hasnt healed... i knew its not a good idea to have piercings dont when pregnant, but what about the ones that wont heal? should i take it out?

i have a scaffold that was done a few months before i found out i was pg and i refuse to take it out. just clean it as if it was new and it will heal eventually, its just gonna take a while.
on the other hand i had to take out my nipple piercings as they started to act up despite being 2 yrs old and with really tender nips it was a bad time lol.

yours should be fine as long as you keep it clean and look after it, piercings can take up to 6 months to heal anyway and pregnancy can make that longer lol

I've had my cartilage piercing for over 10 years, and it still hasn't totally healed.. I can't take it out for more than a couple of hours because otherwise it starts closing over and it still gets really sore, which is why i take it out! But it hasn't caused me any problems during pregnancy at all

aah ok thanks
