Redness and Swelling
If the skin around your body piercing becomes inflamed, red, and swollen, it could indicate an allergy to the metal of your jewelry. This can occur immediately after the piercing or even weeks later.
Itching
A common symptom of a body piercing allergy is severe and persistent itchiness at the piercing site. This may occur even if the area appears otherwise normal in color and swelling.
Discharge
An allergic reaction might cause a discharge to appear from the piercing. The discharge may be clear, whitish, or colored, and it may or may not have an odor.
Blisters or Rash
In some instances, an allergy to a body piercing can cause a rash or blisters to form around the piercing location. These might be accompanied by a burning sensation or pain.
Increased Pain
Normal pain and tenderness after getting a piercing is expected. However, if you have an allergy, the pain may increase significantly and last longer than the normal healing period.
Bleeding
While some minimal bleeding is normal after getting pierced, an allergic reaction may result in prolonged or heavy bleeding around the piercing site with no significant trauma to the area.
