YES!!! that is COMPLETELY normal! dont worry about it. its called "lymph" which is white blood cells being cleaned out. it will be liek that for a few months. all piercingins have lymph with the, this is why the jewelry gets crusty. just do the sea salt soaks with warm distilled water.. and the warm water actually draws out the lymph aids in healign and fights infections, and helps with the pain!. but sypmtoms of an infection would be excessive swelling, pain, redness, the piercign feeling hot, and if the discharge ir yellow or green then you will need to see your piercer and have them determine if you need to go to the doctors if you need anti biotics or not. but if you are taking care of it properl you s hould not have any complications..
did they hurt? i have been thinkign about getting mine done for a w hile now =]

I had a bit of discharge (pus) for about 4 weeks after I got my nipple done- it has now been 4 months and it can still get a bit dry and crusty every now and then so I think you should be fine. Go back to where you got it done and show them, they will be able to give you the correct advice.

No discharge is normal that far after you get your piercing. That is usually the first sign of infection.
I would honestly go back to the place that you had it done if the discharge continues coming out in a few days. They might be able to help you if it is infected.

Yep. Completely normal.
Keep them clean, you'll be fine.
As long as the discharge doesn't change color or have blood in it, you have nothing to worry about. By the way, that's lymph which is a combination of white blood cells, dead skin and tissue cells and some bacteria.

no it's not normal, it could be an infection or something else, go see your dr.
