Nose peircing infection?

Question

I got my nose pierced about a month ago. I was told to keep the nose stud in for a week. I only waited for about 5 days and changed it. nothing happened until i bought another pack of nose studs. I can't wear fake jewelery and the ones i was wearing were fake.Nothing happened for about 2 weeks or so. After a couple of days i noticed a bump. I tried alot of things. And i clean it alot to. The bump got better but the bump its still there. I have one on the inside and outside.

Please help me i really want to do get rid of the bump and not take out my nose stud.

Answer 1

Sounds like a keloid.  I had the same problem.  You need to go get asprin.  Crush it up the best you can and make a paste out of it using water.  Then apply the paste with a q-tip.  I like to do this before bed and let it sit over night.  Asprin will bring the bump down.

Answer 2

Yeah.  It could be a number of things but it's definitely irritated.

Piercers aren't joking around when it comes to taking care of fresh piercings.

Do hot compressions with a hot rag, several times a day.  Maybe try crushing up a baby aspirin, mixing it with water, and putting it on there.  Good luck.

YOU IDIOT! WHY DID YOU TAKE IT OUT? NOW YOU'RE GONNA DIE! Nah, just kidding. Can you imagine?

Answer 4

Sounds like a keloid scar.
