I had mine done about 10 years ago and never had a problem with it, it healed within 2 weeks of being pierced. I would like to add to these soloutions that it is wise to up your intake of vitamin C, I dont want to imply that you have scurvy but even lower than normal amounts can impede the healing process. So, drink orange juice alot for a while.
Ooh, vitamin C! Will drinking obscene amounts of orange juice as I already do really help if I get NO other vitamins from anywhere else?
I'm pretty sure mine healed in about 2 weeks too. It just unhealed and got itself infected >_> I swear, I could move it around!
