Infected nose piercing?

I got my nose professionally pierced a month ago. It doesn’t hurt or anything, but I got a little bump around it. It’s kind of red you know like a light pink color. Do yall think it’s infected??

Help me please! I would really appreciate it.

Answer #1

it could be there is no way of telling by your description, try cleaning it properly and using an anti-microbial cream you can buy over the counter at almost any grocery or drug store. However; there is the possibilty that you are allergic to the metal in the stud, in this case you may need to try another type of metal or just remove it.

Answer #2

Clean it with warm salty water (use sea salt) twice a day… If it doesn’t seem to be clearing up within 2 weeks and is causing you discomfort go back to the studio you got it done at and have a chat with them :)

Answer #3

It’s most likely not infected. I don’t know what it looks like, but a litle bump around a nose piercing is normal.. just keep cleaning it and keep an eye on it.. incase it progresses any. =)

Answer #4

Its probably still healing just keep it clean.

Answer #5

No its not. its probably just alittle irritated. It will go away, dont worry. just clean it more often

Answer #6

I got mine done 4 days ago and mine is red around the piercing…and at times it gets crusty around the stud and soemtimes a weird white color around it…I’ve been cleaning it with sea salt and water…you boil water…and fill a coffee cup with it then put 1/4 tbs of sea salt in it and wait till it cools enough for you to soak it and allow it to soak for a minimum of 5 minutes but its suggested to soak it until the water becomes cool to the touch…the heat of the water helps the piercing a lot and the sea salt solution reduces swelling and allows for the entire piercing to get cleaned not just the outside…antibacterial soaps are a no no they remove all the good bacteria your piercing needs to heal…using this will only prolong the healing time!

Answer #7

whats this bump buisness… do you mean its swollen? I have the same problem right now but I only got it done two days ago… it got puss around it… I have this ‘ear care anticeptic’ that a pharmacist gave to me but im thinking I should just use rock salt in warm water… ?

Answer #8

Nah. I dont think is infection. Maybe because ou did not clean it well?

I pierced my right nostril last year. Cause that is my first nose piercing, so I take really good care of it..But due to some reasons I got to let it close. So it closed..

Then I pierced my left nostril this year.. And because this is the second time I pierce so I did not take good care of it.. So it have the small bump you mentioned.. Dont worry. Eventually it will go away..

Good luck!
