I had my nosed pierced about 10-12 weeks ago and after 2wks the the stud accidentally got knocked out over a holiday weekend so I inserted a nose ring that i had bought for after healing. It looked fine/felt fine but then several weeks later after I wore a white gold stud, the skin around the piercing was puffy and a little red and irritated. Not infected so I just kept dealing with it. We were traveling last weekend and it got lost so I went approximately 2 days w/o a stud and when i returned home it was pretty closed up. I decided to let it close all the way and repierce. Anyone know how long I should wait to do that or has anyone else had problems with them being puffy and irritated?



I had my nose pierced 3 times in 2 years and I want to get the last one reopened what should I do?

☆Moved to its own thread☆

I don't get what you mean by "get the last one reopened". All you can really do is go back to your piercer and have it re-pierced once again. You can't really get the last one reopened since it is already closed; you have to get a new piercing.

Keep in mind that if there is significant scarring from the previous 2, you may not be able to get it done. Some piercers will not pierce through excessive scar tissue. If it is severely excessive, it is not possible.

Go back to your piercer and see what he/she can do.
