BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Body Art Nose Piercing Problem

Hello- I got my nose pierced over a year ago, and for some reason a large bump has appeared to the side of it. I originally wore a stud, but put in a ring a couple months ago. The bump isn't painful, but it's pretty nasty looking- it's whitish yellow. I've been soaking it in hot water and with sea salts. Is there anything else I could do to make it go away faster? Thanks.

oh my god i had the smae thing but now it went completely away, put some citamin e and a on it and then switch nose rongs and dont mess with it

I have had my nose pierced since 1996. I have found that if I wear anything that isn't sterling silver, I get a bump but it is on the inside not the outside. It may be an allergy to what you are wearing. Maybe go back to the person who pierced it for you and get their opinion.

There's an article on Healing and Aftercare of nose piercings under the Body Piercing subject heading that you might read, and there is an eBook on nothing but nose piercings. I talk about bad after-reactions and keloid scars in both of those.
