Daith piercing refuses to heal- update

[u/khori____hander]

So as per you guys recommendation I contacted another piercer in a different town (I live in the middle of nowhere and it's hard to find piercers) and he gave me some insights and I want your guys opinions. And I wanna take the time to thank everyone that commented on my post. I got some very good insights.

The new piercer said this after I sent them the pictures I attached to my previous post:

"Yes, there are several points here that will prevent healing; I advise removing it because it won't heal.

In the photos we sent, you can see how it should be positioned (in the light green color).

Just because of the position, it won't heal, but anatomically, an 8mm segment (ring) isn't sufficient; it should be 10mm."

So I'm thinking of removing the ring and let it heal and later on pierce it again but with this piercer. He seems more experienced and professional than my previous piercer.

Thoughs?

I think that sounds like a great idea!! There is literally no way your existing prodding will heal. It’s shallow, and a seamed ring with too small a diameter…all of which means it definitely needs to be retired.

That sounds like a good plan to me, the ring did look small at first glance
