I got mine done about 2 months ago and after 6 weeks it was sweet. i think it depends on the person. it got a little bit infected because i used antibacterial soap. the best thing for them is salt water by far.

Stop using the soap, it prolongs healing (as you’ve found out). A year is average, so it could take a little longer, or a little less time. Some piercings will continue to have lymph (the crusty stuff) for even longer. Sea salt soaks once per day, about 5 mins at a time will help. Don’t pick at the ‘crust’ – remove it gently with a cotton swab after you soak the piercing (and after a shower if you do those at different times). Don’t let any hair products get near it (cover when using hair spray, etc), and try not to touch it if you don’t have to.

mine took around 6 months…you might want to have it checked out.

it probably should have healed already…i have mine done with a barbell & it only took like 6 weeks to heal & i never used any special products to clean it…some people`s bodies just reject certain piercings…for example, i`ve had my navel done 4 separate times & it was never good, so i just had to give up on that one…

It could be infected – try putting neosporin on it.

I had this same problem. I was told that some people just can’t take an eyebrow piercing, that somehow the skin rejects it. Only with me, I was washing my face one morning and the ring fell out along with my skin that was covering the piercing!!! It was really nasty and now I’m left with a deep scar so I think you need to see your doc about this.

i had mine pierced, about 7 years ago. I was told it should be completely healed in 6 months, which from what i remember it was healed before that. i don’t remember the crusty stuff still coming on. i kept mine in a good 2 years or so. And it seemed fine. Maybe your body is trying to reject it.

it all depends on your hair, products you use, your skin etc. I had mine done and it was really badly infected soi let it close theni had it redoes in the same spot (thru the scar tissue) so it took a little longer to heal.. but it was healed in about 4 months. I still every once in a while notice a crust and just take it out and clean it.
Also I cant wear rings it had to be a bar?? rings get infected.. or if the bar is too small (short) or the plastic or gold bars i cant wear.. try a sterling silver, surgical steel or titainum bar, that mght help. it helped me.

nah i don’t think your being impatient i think that something might be wrong cause it should only take like around 3 weeks to 6 weeks at the most check it out and see what’s up!
good luck!
