Stupid doctors...

[IntakE]

Okay so I went to a walk in clinic by my house cause I had a few small thing I needed to check up on and my family doctor is so far that it's just esaier to go to a clinic. Well first of all the doctor I had was so fucking rude. He rolled his eyes at me when I told him what I needed help with and then he told me that there was no way to fix my problum that the only solution would be to remove my piercing which is infected. Well I've had a piercing get infected before and I've had a doctor give me cream and shit and it all went away. From now on no matter how big or small my problum is Im going to the good family doctor no more of these stupid fucking clinics.

Im not taking my piercing out I've bought other things to use on it that clears up every thing all of my friends have ever had infected. I hope it works.

If a doctor of any kind tells you your piercing is infected to the point where you should be taking it out...
one would normally think it would be best to take it out. Why risk something more serious because you like the said piercing. Besides it can always be redone after you've healed properly.

ps: which piercing is infected? your nose?

What did you have pierced and what kind of metal do you have in it?

heeey, i worked in a piercing shop for two years and I've seen some pretty ugly infections. I can help you out if you let me know a little bit more about the nature of it (what it looks like, temp of the skin around the area, how long for, what kind of jewellery, etc.)

I've seen some pretty ugly things, but a lot of the time it's not truly an infection.

oh, and creams are BAD BAD BAD BAD.

yes its my nose but mty actual family doctor told me to never take a piercing out if its infected becauxe the infection will grow bigger inside the whole which the jewlery was in and that could cause more problums.

It's a nose ring it has a sergical steal stud in it and its a got a big bump on the side of my nose. I clean it every day and all that crap but I picked at it the other day while washing it cause it was flaking and it bleed and now it's got a big ugly blood spot on it and it's just super ugly. I keep trying new things to clean it with and it just doesnt work.

this one is.
Like I have already said
My family doctor told me to never remove a piercing if its infected I've been told that by the piercer too.
The infection will just stay inside the whole in which the jewlery was in.
I'd rather have the infection on the outside of my nose then the inside.

I had that same issue a while back. I think this thread'll help. :)
