Answer 1 – How long does it take a piercing to heal?
There are two stages of healing a piercing, the initial healing period and the full healing period. The initial healing period is the time between the second that the piercing occurs through when the fistula (skin tube) forms. Usually, you can change the jewelry after the initial healing. The full healing is the period after the fistula forms when the skin around the piercing “toughens” and the piercing “settles in”.
