- I'm piercing my nipple in a week (surgical steel, 14 gauge), and I'm
- curious whether anyone has any advice or comments on this type of
- piercing. As this is my first, I have a few basic questions, and
- anything you can say would probably be of interest.
-
- Which vitamin supplements enhance tissue regeneration? 50mg zinc 3x
- daily seems to be the usual advice. Has anyone researched this more
- thoroughly?
-
- Do those with recently pierced nipples find them too tender to sleep
- on? Have the piercings significantly interfered with anyone's daily
- activities? (I've read the thread on large breasts and nipple
- piercings.) How long, generally, do they take to heal?
-
- Has anyone found Hibiclens to be too harsh? What other surgical
- scrubs work well with piercings?
-
- (As always, apologies if this material has been covered recently.
- Please email -- rather than post -- if you your answers are not of
- general interest. Is there a FAQ available? I saw none.)
