Body Piercing Injury Compensation Claim Information

The bio science behind piercing the body
How Can Body Piercing Go Wrong?
Most people do not think of the consequences of piercing because they think it won’t happen to them. By following the cleaning instructions, you expect the piercing to heal as expected? That isn’t necessarily true. There are also a number of factors that can increase your risk of developing a serious infection or hospital treatment that are sadly out of your control. unfortunately not all parts of your body have the same layers of skins and tissue mass. For example, your earlobe is made up of a matrix of collagen like protein molecules that make up the cartilage, which makes it reasonably safe to pierce.
What Can Cause Body Piercing Injuries?
Unfortunately some body piercers are trading and carrying out body piercing services without being compliant to health safety practices towards body piercing. Commonalities like dirty needles or using piercing guns will often result in bacterial infections, which in worse cases, lead to blood poisoning which is very serious. Catching an infection can happen as soon as the skin starts to heal the wound.
What Are the Potential Symptoms of Body Piercing Injuries?
There are many different symptoms of body piercing injuries, including infections. Some of the symptoms to look out for if you suspect a body piercing injury incude:
- The skin starts to change colour in the affected area.
- Raised scars start to form, including Cysts or Keloids.
- The area feels sore and painful to the touch.
- You start to develop a fever or other illness.
