Teen's Pierced Breast Removed After Infection

Just how smart is it for a diabetic to get her boob pierced first of all. Secondly just how infected does your boob have to get before you take the damn ring out and seek medical help. When she got there most of the skin tissue was already dead.... I don't feel bad for her at all. I was all kinds of pierced up when I was younger and the very first time I had my belly done (at age 14) took it out because it was infected and it didn't clear up within a couple days. Take the ring out, let yourself heal up, then try again if you so chose. But you don't just let yourself fester until tissue starts dying.

If she did clean the piercing like she should have, could the gangrene been prevented? :confused:
I think that is one of those infections, that no matter what you do (*short of surgery*) it's going to spread rapidly.

The skin and subcutaneous tissues of the female breast are prone to really fast spread of an infection once established. Necrotizing fasciitis like this could have taken over her entire chest wall in a matter of hours after the infection started. With diabetes, there is sometimes no sign of infection until it's quite severe.

Sorry Dr. Lenny but my very first line summed it up. She is diabetic and prone to infection; she shouldn't have gone putting holes in her hooter in the first place.
