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.
