Gray skin around piercing

  1. More and more people are getting a tattoo or piercing. Body jewelry has been on the rise for years. Many people sometimes do not consider the difference in quality of body jewelry and what the consequences can be of less qualitative material. One of the most common problems is the formation of gray skin around the affected piercing.

This can be caused by silver, silver dust or bonds (eg silver iodide). Silver salts settle in the surface of the skin, they oxidize through contact with the sun and body fluids. Argyrie was very common in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, because silver solutions were used in bulk in the most common medicines, as a result of which people get far too high values ​​of silver in their bloodstream and thus contaminate themselves. There were no small spots, but the whole body was infected. Usually the nails are the first to discolour and the condition spreads throughout the body.

The main reason for this is that the silver attaches itself to the deepest layers of the skin, so tackling the top layers does not save.

Alternative approach

  1. The complete removal of the gray stains is a hopeless task, although an attempt can be made to reduce the visibility by applying the following:
