Skin Tears
From BMEzine Encyclopedia
Occasionally you can overdo stretching of a peircing (i.e. Lobes), or an appendage (i.e. scrotum, labia, and breasts) from vacuum pumping, pulling, hanging weights, or from stretching piercings too quickly. This can result in small abrasions or skin tears and, depending on the severity of the tear, it might require anything from simple cleaning and a bandage or downsizing the peircing, all the way to stitches and medical treatment. The risk is usually pretty minor and usually preventable with time and patience being key.
