HAFADA / SCROTUM
|
|
|
FYI: Trimming
pubic hair might be necessary. A scrotum piercing can sometimes be
difficult to heal due to friction against clothing or 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 is taken not to puncture
the testicle sac itself which can lead to 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 piercing 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 can be very
soothing.
