hello all my fellow PG friends.. So i want to get my ears pierced a second time, i have been wanting to do this for some time now. Every time I am close like at the mall I think to myself r u crazy why would you purposely injure yourself and chance aggravating the PG. So I guess i need to hear it from you guys. Is it reasonable to think that getting a second piercing will not cause me any PG issues or should I just drop it.. I guess things are good when this is my big question at the moment right !! thanks for your input!

I'm not too familiar with PG, but would a couple of piercings really cause issues? It might not be a bad idea to talk to your GI or derm (not sure which one covers PG) and see what they think of the idea. And as a side note, the piercing guns they use at the mall are basically shoving a thumb tack through your tissue. I suggest going to a tattoo shop and get it down with proper needles.

Hi, I am new to this support group and am a Pyoderma Gangernosum sufferer. However I can't find the PG forum in the start up page. Can you maybe help direct me to the people who suffer from this condition. Thanks.

I would not get mine pierced again.
Unfortunately we do not have the space to have a pg excusive forum. I would strongly encourage you to use the site search engine to find the threads about it and there was talk of another group getting started, but I have not heard back from anyone about it. You might try yahoo groups etc.
