Why your new piercing keeps bleeding; know the reason and how to stop it
New piercings often bleed, a normal part of healing as delicate blood vessels repair. Excessive touching, sleeping on the piercing, accidental knocks, and overcleaning can all trigger renewed bleeding. While usually minor, persistent bleeding accompanied by pain, swelling, or discharge may signal infection and warrants medical attention. Gentle care and patience are key to healing.
