Nose stud infection

I’ve had my nose stud since the end of summer now, its just got infected, and I have a really small nose stud in, should I change it and make it bigger ? X

Answer #1

Keep in mind that irritations and even small infections are a normal part of the healing process. Nose piercings frequently take as long as 8 months to heal, and in some cases can take even longer. During that time, you will have to deal with oozing, redness, swelling and discomfort., in the meantime you should not change the jewelry (or take it out, or play with it..)

If you nose starts to discharge yellow or green pus, becomes very hot and swollen, or becomes extremely painful at the piercing site, you probably have a serious infection that requires antibiotics. Go to the doctor as soon as possible.

Infections in the nose can be very serious because of the close proximity to the brain.
