My nose ring hurts all of a sudden?

Question

i got it a long long time ago maybe like 5 months ago.

i havent been washing it for a long long long time (maybe two months) and it was fine. but all of a sudden its hurting really bad if i mess with it or even touch the area around it. why!?

Answer 1

Wow, I think it might be infected, you should have taken care of it like your piercer told you to, that is gross to never clean it out for that long! I cleaned both or mine for a full year nearly everyday and now I don't have to anymore because they healed several years ago, but it takes six months to a year for nose piercings to heal and you need to clean them everyday for that time period because before they are healed they are open to infection. It's so annoying when people get piercings and don't take care of them like they should, how stupid.

Answer 2

Its prolly infected or ur allegic to pur metal in the earing and need fake metal!

Answer 3

I still get irritation and mild pain in mine eight years later.  I just start paying more attention to washing and cleaning it as if it were new.  Its probably infected because the tissues there are still vulnerable to bacteria.  

Answer 4

it may be infected, maybe you can clean around it with a cotton swab and some antiseptic or alcohol
