septic nose piercing

I think my nose piercing is going septic what should I do?

Answer #1

Peroxide, or you can carry on cleaning it with salty water and you can add a little tsp.

Answer #2

Keep it clean. I didn’t get much irritation when I got it done but people are different. Just use safe jewlery and if you get in a fight make sure the person doesn’t rip it out. ..It’ll tickle your nose hairs when you get it done,though :D

btw, don’t use peroxide use anti-bacterial stuff. Something about whats in peroxide and suff.

Answer #3

peroxide will dry out the piercing, so thats a no go, but use it to clean the jewlery :)

try unscented soap. dial worked good for my septum and lip when I got them done.

Answer #5

See a doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and consider a change of jewelry to a new, safe autoclave sterilized piece in titanium. In most cases you can save the piercing and wear jewelry while you are treated.

Often a piercing done with slightly irritating material like steel or an alloy of gold (usually including copper, silver and trace metals) can cause irritation and prevent complete healing. Switch to an implant certified piece of titanium jewelry for better success. http://piercing.org/pexy/jewelry/jewelry.html can explain more about selecting a safe piece.

Other notable cofactors the irritation could be related to: cleaning products you use; chemical or particulate irritation the shape and size of the jewelry; a piece out of proportion to your body mechanical friction/motion of the jewelry; moving it around too much sleeping on the piercing; putting pressure on the jewelry *tap water/moisture not dried off completely; fluid causing ulceration of the wound bed
