    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.
