Septum

[kate]

I've had my septum pierced for 9 months now, it had healed pretty well until my nephew (he's a baby) snagged it. It is just not rehealing now. It has what I believe to be keloid scarring on one side and the piercing being so easily aggravated is driving me nuts.. any ideas? If it matters I have a basic captive hoop, have only switched jewelry once and that was just a retainer for a couple days for court 8 months ago..It was pierced by a professional..
Thanks, Kate

"...the FDA has concluded that the risk of using silver products exceeds any unsubstantiated benefit..."
"...in 1996, the FDA proposed to ban the use of colloidal silver or silver salts in over-the-counter products..."
" * There is little evidence to support therapeutic claims made for colloidal silver products;
* The risk to consumers of silver toxicity outweighs the value of trying an unsubstantiated treatment, and bacterial resistance to silver can occur
* Efforts should be made to curb the illegal availability of colloidal silver products, which is a significant public health issue [16] . "
"Over-the-counter colloidal silver products are not considered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be generally recognized as safe and effective for diseases and conditions."
"Colloidal silver can cause serious side effects. One is argyria, a bluish-gray discoloration of the body. Argyria is not treatable or reversible."

gonna have to disagree with that recommendation Forgiven.... H2Ocean is a decent product, but you get more benefit from self mixed hot sea salt solution, for about 1/1000 of the cost of H2Ocean.....
even if you don't have any side effects from the silver usage, it is still overly harsh on the healing tissue, and sea salt has no potential side effects
