Questions about my nipple piercings

Hello all,

I’ve had my nipples pierced since July first last year, and lately I’ve been having more problems with my right piercing in particular.

The left side has always been very well behaved, and I am now long since the 6 month mark, but my right one has been acting up. On Easter recently I had a LOT of itching and general soreness on my right breast. Like I was itching constantly. It was around my areola, nipple and a little bit of the actual tissue on my breast. I have had pus come out very minimally ever since I got it pierced and during healing, but lately I’ve had skin flaking around my nipple. The itching has gone away and there is no intense pain just a little tender, only lasted a day. Should I go see my GP to assess or continue being gentle and cleaning it as usual? There is no discoloured pus (just basic white pus maybe a little yellowish) and no bleeding, just itchiness, general dryness on my nipple and around my areola and a few excess crusties.

Thoughts and opinions appreciated!!!
