A bump on my nose piercing, scared
Ive had my nose piercing since late December. Rencently there had been a bump that formed on one side of it. I think it's a blister but I'm not sure.It sometimes bleeds also. I called my piercer, he said it is just a scar tissue called a keloid. He instucted me to buy a bottle of distilled water, soak a cotton ball in the warm water & a tablespoon of sea salt. So far I've seen a slight change but it looks as if that just dries out my piercing. What else should I do and is it a keloid or what? (I hope not) :( [/I]

I had the same problem when I got my nose pierced a few years ago. Just clean it twice a day with rubbing alcohol and it'll go away within a week or so.

I've had my nose pierce for about 2 months and my bump showed up... I can't really see the picture but my bump was really red and visibly noticeable. This is what worked for me and hopefully it will for u too...
MAKE SURE TO WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU TOUCH THE PIERCING and Don't OVER CLEAN IT! -i get a small cup and fill it with hot tap water, and add the sea salt (shouldnt be saltier than tears) I dip the side of the nose with the bump in the cup for about 5 min. -repeat the process for another 5 min but using a paper towel instead. I suggest using the 100% tea tree oil with it. So you're nose wouldn't dry up. You can also leave flakes of sea salt on it to drain any puss or blood. I leave it on for 1-2 min. (optional) ( I do that about twice- three times a day--when I wake up and before I sleep) -and then at night I crush up an aspirin until it becomes a paste and put it on the infected area overnight.. (aspirin decreases the swelling) I've only done it for 2 days now and its size has gone down tremendously and its no longer as red and visible. I hope this works for u =) |

Here is some info on keloids. Keloid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Having said that, only a doctor can tell you for sure what it is and it's always best to go with a treatment set up by your doctor. There are so many home remedies out there that end up making matters worse. See your doctor about this. That's really your only option. |

I will admit I have been messing with my nose piercing, especially when the little out lined circle started forming around it. Based on what I've read it isn't a keloid, but is the same bump that everyone else is talking about. My question is, is it going to go away ? And how often should I use...
Hi, I have had my nose done for about 1 month and a couple weeks. I had to take out my nose ring for numerous reasons including gym class, work, and cheerleading. It was probably a stupid idea to get it done in the first place, but whatever. Anyway, I kept taking it in and out for a while and no...
