I got my nose pierced yesterday and...? HELP!!?

Question

it's bleeding a little bit today. only on the outside though, around the stud. i clean it with sea salt and warm water. should i keep cleaning the blood off every time it appears (which is immediately after i clean it off) or should i just leave it until i am supposed to clean it later?? also, it's difficult to clean the inside around the hole because i have a stud with a curved back (i dunno what they're called!!) so i don't wanna move it to get to the hole in case it bleeds. is it good enough to just rinse the inside with sea salt and water?? thanks.

Answer 1

bad infection

Answer 2

It's fine, and yes, keep doing your seal salt soaks. Leave the scab between cleanings. I know it's not attractive, but tough luck. Most likely, your piercing is less swollen than it was yesterday or has not swollen fully yet, which leaves a little room for blood. But by not moving and turning it, you're doing the right thing. You just want to do nice, warm, long sea salt soaks to dissolve any blood and crust and draw out any impurities. If some scabbing stays after a soak, don't worry about it. It'll come off when it's ready.

And the jewelry you have sounds like a nose s***w- standard for nostril piercings.

Answer 3

Hey I Think You Should Keep Doing What You Do After you clean it if it bleeds leave it abit because you dont want to be doing every single minute but make sure the blood dosent get everywhere cos it could get infected.

Answer 4

Keep it clean, it could be an infection, you could use an antibacterial cream. The bleeding should stop soon though
