Cyst On Eyebrow Piercing

For my first proper blog post, I will be looking at the most common issue that you are likely to experience with your piercings. Due to currently being unable to work due to lockdown, I will be adding images when I am back to work.

I will be keeping it as simple and understandable as possible, starting with how to recognise different bumps, what not to use, and how to help them heal. If, at the end, you are still not sure how to proceed, message me and I will endeavour to help you fix your piercings!

Infected

This is the most likely diagnosis. It is caused by your body reacting to the irritation of the foreign body within your skin. To protect itself, collagen is used to cushion any movement, and in the case of hypertrophic scarring, this could be excessive.

They are generally small, starting soft and getting firmer over time. If the piercing is removed, the lump will almost always disappear. They can be sore, itchy and bleed easily.

While it is possible that you have a keloid, they are incredibly rare. Unless you have a family history of keloids, you can generally assume that you do not have a keloid. It is a term that is used incorrectly most of the time.

Keloids are also due to excessive collagen, but instead of disappearing when the piercing is removed, the are much more likely to be permanent. They can also spread significantly out from the fistula, and keep on growing.

While not really a lump or bump, you might well be diagnosed with an infection when you only have an irritated piercing. I will be writing another blog post soon to cover infected piercings, so I will just skim over it here. (Update - my infection blog post is here.)

While it may swell, there will not be a distinct bump. If you believe that you have an infection, you need medical assistance.

First of all, let’s take a look at what not to use and why. There are a lot of home remedies which are ineffective, or possibly dangerous.

This is the most common remedy that you will come across. Due to the lack of regulation in oils, you can never be sure how strong the product is. Tea tree can be too harsh for the skin, and due to oil not dissolving in water, it is tricky to weaken.

It can cause burning and allergic reactions, and as the most common bumps form on cartilage piercings, if it gets inside your ear, it can cause hearing loss.

This forms salicylic acid, which can also burn bumps away, but will not fix the underlying issue. There is also a reasonable chance of reactions to this.

Dealing

You will find many examples of these fixing piercings across Instagram, and once again can help bumps, but will not fix the issue. If you look at the pictures posted on social media, you will notice the usually the have put higher quality jewellery into the piercings at the same time as attaching the discs. This is a much better way to help your piercings.

At the end of the day, your piercer is not able to follow you around all day, so you will need to pay attention to your piercing and try to work out what is bothering it. Use these guidelines to help you work it out, remove the irritation and see if it helps your bumps!

Keloids are a lot harder to deal with. If you believe that you have a keloid, which as mentioned above are very rare, you need to consult with a dermatologist. Often, a steroid injection will help, but sometimes this is not enough. You might require keloid removal surgery, so it is best to deal with it sooner rather than later.You’ve had your eyebrow piercing for several days, and you’re enjoying a new look and tons of compliments from your friends and family. One day you wake up, and after getting out of the shower you notice the skin around your eyebrow piercing is warm to the touch.

There’s always going to be a risk of infection with any piercing. If you’re dealing with an infected eyebrow piercing, don’t panic. Consult your piercing specialist or a doctor/dermatologist and follow these simple treatment suggestions to treat the infection and get your new piercing back to looking its best.

Weird

There is a simple treatment for an infected or irritated eyebrow piercing, that should clear things up in no time. If your eyebrow piercing is irritated or infected, contact your piercing specialist right away, and be aware that a more severe infection may require treatment from a licensed medical professional.

Eyebrow Piercing Irritation Bump

The standard treatment for an infected eyebrow piercing is a solution of sea salt and warm water. Mix the sea salt and warm, (but not hot) water at a ratio of ⅛ teaspoon of fine sea salt to ¼ cup of water. Some piercing specialists may recommend this as part of a standard aftercare regimen regardless of whether you have an infection.  

Apply a warm compress with the sea salt solution to the infected piercing for five to ten minutes, three times a day. If the infection persists for a week with no improvement, contact a medical professional right away.

The primary cause of most infected eyebrow piercings is lax aftercare and poor hygiene. To prevent your eyebrow piercing from becoming infected, you must follow your piercing specialist’s suggested aftercare regimen to the letter.

Dealing with an infected eyebrow piercing comes down to common sense. If your new eyebrow piercing is infected, follow the instructions for the sea salt soak we discussed earlier, and contact your piercing specialist right away.

Aim to prevent infections with your new piercing by following your piercing specialist’s aftercare regimen exactly. Don’t touch your new piercing unless you’re cleaning it. If you need to touch your piercing, take care to wash your hands with hot water and antibacterial soap for at least 30 seconds beforehand, and remember to rinse the piercing site thoroughly afterward.

Don’t submerge your piercing in any body of water until it’s fully healed. Avoid foods that will irritate the skin or thin the blood, and avoid bumping your new eyebrow piercing against walls or surfaces. Keeping these basic rules in mind will help you deal with any infection and keep your brand new eyebrow piercing looking good for years to come.
