Changing the jewelry before will prologue the healing time. However, if you’re okay with that and want to put in something more appealing, go ahead. Only remember to let that particular piercing remain until you’re healed. In short, don’t change the piercing more than once until you’re in the clear.
Subsequently, can you take out an unhealed nipple piercing?
Removing the jewelry will often cause the piercing site to close up, making it impossible to reinsert jewelry at that site. At times it may be necessary to change out the jewelry, especially if the irritation and redness isn’t from infection but from an allergic reaction.
Keeping this in consideration, what happens if you take out an unhealed piercing?
If you had an unhealed piercing removed, it should have completely closed. But if it was older, the hole could be smaller in size (or closed up completely) and there most likely is some form of indentation left on the skin.
