Yep. As long as it isnt a dark greenish/yellow. Its usually a very light yellow/white color. Its especially common with new piercings but it can pop up on old ones if you get sick or hit the piercing. Just wet the area with warm water and use a qtip to get it off. Dont try to pull it off when its dry. That really irritates the piercing and can sometimes hurt.

Does a rook piercing rejects?

No rook or any cartilage piercing for that matter will not reject or migrate because it's held in place by the cartilage it self. It will get annoyed and cranky if you are using aftercare products that are reacting to your body. So stop using all the woo woo magic stuff and just flush the piercing with lots of warm water daily and see if the piercing settles down. If it does then you were reacting to the aftercare stuff and the mystery is solved.

Can you just pick off the crusty stuff from around your ear piercing?

Its better to soak your ear in warm water first. They'll come off a lot easier. Picking at it when its dry can really irritate the piercing and even hurt if its really new.


Why do you have whiteyellow stuff on your tongue 5 days after your piercing?

That is the normal discharge that occurs from tongue piercing, just like ear piercing discharges after they have been pierced and are healing the tongue does the same sort of thing. That will disappear is a couple of days, just be sure you are rinsing and keeping cold stuff on the piercing as often as possible.

Is it normal for your new lip piercing to get crusty stuff on it?

a small amount should be normal as the pericing is healing so just continue to clean it reguarly. however if this carries on after the recommended healing time (about 6-8 weeks i think?) then you may have an infection particularly if it is yellowish / discoloured / bleeding i had the crusty stuff at first when i got my nose pierced but ive never had any problems with it.


Is your belly button piercing supposed to release pus?

Well, it depends on how much, and if it's really pus, or just lymph. Lymph will accumulate on any piercing, it will look like the crusty stuff you get in your eyes when you wake up. This is totally normal and expected. Pus can be seen in small amounts, especially since navel piercings take the longest to heal out of ANY body piercing. But if you're seeing tons of it and the piercing looks inflamed or infected, then I'd go get it checked out. Be really good about doing sea salt rinses every day while it heals!


Can you use salt to clean your cartilage piercing?

Not just regular table salt. You need to use natural sea salt. Otherwise it could have stuff added to it that's not ideal for piercings :)

Is white stuff normal in a healing lip piercing?

if it is seeping a lot of white pus then that's not normal but if it is only a little bit then it is okay.You might have white/yellow fluids draining from your piercing and probably forming a crust. That's perfectly fine but pus is not.
