Lymph Prince Albert Piercing

My next tour will be September 2023 in Detroit. Masks are required in the studio. See the COVID updates page for more information, and this page detailing the long-term risks of COVID infection(s).

Thanks for the great site, and your book. I got a PA 5 weeks ago, ¾” inch  captive ball stainless steal ring, 8g.  I am uncircumcised.  Placement etc. was fine, but it soon became clear that the ring was a wee bit too small in diameter and causing pain during erections.  On the advice of my piercer I waited a few weeks to have it changed, he felt it might mostly be initial swelling and he was reluctant to swap out jewelry too soon.  I eventually, at 3 weeks in, had the ring changed to a 7/8” which seems to be the perfect size. After-care throughout has been washing with mild soap once/day, and 2 or 3 sea-salt soaks per day. I also put a small dab of emu oil on after the soaks. Problem: about a week ago I developed a bump along the edge of the  piercing hole.  It is not warm or red, looks like a small blister, no hint of puss or other fluids.  It is about 1mm thick, and goes around about ¼ of the circumference of the piercing. No signs of infection etc., but this blister is very sensitive, feels like being poked with a needle every time anything touches it.  Otherwise the PA is pain-free, but that one tiny bump is certainly hurting! Possible complications is that I’ve had the flu for a few days, so my immune system is no doubt busy.  I’m also a cyclist and have been biking to work (the bus got too expensive).  While I did take two weeks off the bike after getting pierced and felt no pain or discomfort while cycling, I may have added insult to injury. What do you think this painful little bugger is?  Other than the warm soaks and staying off the bike, any advice for getting rid of it, or at least making it less painful? Thanks for your help!  I’d like Mr. Happy to stop being Mr. Ouchy!

A 7/8 ring may be the diameter you need, but it could be rather heavy on a piercing that new. You may need to swap to a curved barbell, which will be lighter in weight, and subject to less trauma than a ring. I'd avoid balls that are very large to keep it in the category of lighter and less intrusive.

These are two pics snapped right when I got home from work - so in theory the piercing should be as unhappy as it will get.  I notice that it is weeping a bit of lymph fluid.  There is no pain other than when the raised lip is touched directly.  Sorry one is a bit misfocussed, it's remarkably hard to photograph the underside of your own penis while holding a heavy camera in one hand! Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Something that concerns me is the finish of your jewelry. It doesn't appear to have a high-shine, mirror finish. See image left, and compare with your jewelry. If the jewelry finish is porous, that could cause tissue damage and result in the build of up scar tissue you seem to be experiencing.

To be safe for healing, metal body jewelry must have a mirror finish—a high-shine, super-smooth surface. Wearing body jewelry that has nicks, burrs, tooling marks, or scratches can cause severe complications. When jewelry has an uneven surface, the new cells that are formed during healing grow into the irregularities. Then, when the jewelry shifts or moves, these areas tear. As this cycle is repeated, scar tissue forms and healing is delayed. A faulty finish can also introduce bacteria into the wound and cause infection.

Ways To Tell If A Piercing Is Infected

Also from what I can see in the photos, it doesn't appear that you have a webbed frenum, in which case, I was wondering why the piercing was positioned so far off to the side? Maybe I don't have a picture of enough of the area to see the whole area properly, but that's my impression from what I could see. Is it possible you're experiencing excess trauma simply by wearing a complete circle when the entry of the piercing doesn't line up well with your urethra?It’s done by inserting a barbell or other jewelry through the hole where pee comes (urethra), and out of the underside behind the head (glans).

Glans or shaft piercings like the PA move around and graze penile tissue when you masturbate or during oral, anal, or genital sex. This can stimulate more nerves and make you feel more pleasure.

The foreskin can be pulled back for this piercing. But jewelry can rub against the foreskin when you’re not erect, causing discomfort.

You may need to relearn how to pee to avoid spraying urine through new urethra openings. Try directing the hole downward or covering the hole.

A PA piercing may be more painful than other common piercings, such as a lip or earlobe piercing, because the penis has more nerve endings.

The actual piercing procedure lasts mere seconds, so taking a deep breath, gripping something tightly, or thinking about something else may take your mind off the pain.

Injuring your partner’s tissues while having sex. Jewelry can rub, chafe, or injure sensitive areas on your partner’s genitals, anus, or mouth during sex. Rarely, jewelry can become hooked to your partner’s genital, anal, or facial jewelry. This can be painful or difficult to undo without medical help.

Increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Genital piercings have been linked to a higher risk of transmitting blood-borne STIs, especially since PA jewelry is more likely to break a condom.

Penile tissue damage. Jewelry that sticks out can rub against and wear away penis tissue. This can result in calloused areas that reduce sensation.

Infection at the piercing site. Bacteria can be passed from unwashed hands or during sex. An opening in your penis tissues can allow bacteria to enter, build up, and become infectious.

Urinary tract infection. Bacteria can enter your urinary tract through the urethra or openings for the piercing. This can increase your risk of UTIs.

What

Rejection. Your penis may develop more — and often thicker — tissue if it perceives the piercing as a foreign object. This can displace the jewelry.

Still healing, but don’t want to wait? Talk to your piercer to find out if it’s OK to remove the jewelry now.

Be sure to do your research to ensure that your piercing’s done by a professional at a shop with good reviews and a reputation for safety.

Talk to your doctor if you’re not sure if your penis will take to a piercing. They can identify any underlying conditions or anatomical limitations that could interfere with a penis piercing.

You may find that your body or skin type isn’t compatible with a PA piercing, and that’s OK. Your piercer may be able to suggest a different type that’s more comfortable and that you may like even better.

To a layperson, it is very easy to see totally normal parts of a healing piercing as signs of an infection. Let’s start by describing what a normal, healing piercing might look like!

When Is A Piercing Healed?

We know we use this photo all the time, but it is a perfect example of a piercing that is only a few days old. This is totally normal!

It is totally normal for a healing piercing to drain a clear, yellow or pale green fluid. This liquid can dry into a crust. The liquid itself is lymph – a mixture of plasma, immune cells, serous fluid, platelets and red blood cells. This lymph is a positive part of the healing process, and is often seen in the first few weeks of a new piercing as the initial swelling floods the piercing site with fluids and immune cells. You can read more on that here!

A healing piercing is also expected to be red, and swollen. We have just made a new hole in you, after all! This swelling can be uncomfortable, but will go down in time. This swelling can be exacerbated by your lifestyle. You might be increasing your swelling by playing with the piercing, eating a low-nutrient or high salt diet, or by taking certain medications. Swelling can also be a little more intense during very hot weather!

Pain, although not fun, is part of a healing piercing. You may expect a throbbing sensation for a few days afterwards, and depending on the piercing you may experience pain or discomfort for a few weeks. This pain is totally normal!
