What Causes A Swelling Near The Dermal Piercings?
I have two dermal piercings on my back and one is swollen on the bottom of it. It doesn t look any different except for the skin pushing the bottom of it up. I have had the piercing for three years, I have noticed this happen before but I don t think it was as prominent.
