What exactly is the white stuff sometimes found in where your piercings are?

Dead skin, shampoo, soap… buildup of general bodily funkiness. :)

And probably some sebum.

^Yep.

Lovely.

@ANef_is_Enuf Your last answer was much better.

I get that in my ear, which I got pierced when I was a teenager but haven’t had a ring in for over 10 years. It never caused me any worry though, and never got infected or anything.

@syz has it right. It’s sebum.

@ANef_is_Enuf yes.

Well, I tried. ;)

Mods, That was uncalled for! Mellow a little.
