Infection 3 years after removing piercings

Posted By Newlife (Missouri, United States) on 07/23/2010

I made the mistake of getting my nipples pierced when I was 18. I took them out when I was 23 and I am now 26. For the last two years, I've had a white discharge coming from the piercing holes and through my natural nipple hole. I understand that it is white blood cells coming through, but they won't close up! I eventually want to have children and the discharge makes me uncomfortable during intimate moments. Any suggestions on what to try in order to treat this?

Dear Newlife,
You did the right thing by removing those piercings that could weaken your immune system for a longtime. Your infection seems like an infection of the mammary glands and ducts that's why there is the white discharge. The best step you can do is have a biopsy from this white discharge to know exactly which bacteria is causing this infection. The same time, you have to rub an ozonated oil ( olive oil, flax seed oil, sunflower) to the infected area 5 times a day. You can also take ionic silver solution internally to weaken the germ. When you start killing the bug you have also to take some immune boosters like selenium, Vit D, magnesium. You can also take a very strong probiotic and mix them with yogurt and then apply it to your nipples and let it stay for a while. Taking probiotics internally will also kill the bacteria because probiotics will produce their own antimicrobial that will spread through your blood and body and inhibit any germs to control the environment. I hope you will find some tips helpful for you and I wish you a good health.

I have read that comfrey as well as activated charcoal poultices will draw out and fight infections. You are to also drink comfrey tea 3x a day and drink 1 T. Of powdered activated charcoal in a cup of water. Make sure to have lots of fiber in your diet to help with elimination as the charcoal could cause constipation otherwise.
