Bloody bump next to nostril piercing? HELP!?!
Question: Bloody bump next to nostril piercing!? HELP!!?
I've had my right nostril piercing for about 9 months now and yesterday this bloody looking bump appeared right NEXT to the piercing!. It's medium sized, about half the size of the stud at the end of my nose screw and is a dark red color with what looks like a simple white head on it!. However it's no where near solid and if I push at it or try to "pop" it, it moves around!. I recently had to cut out my hypoallergenic nose STUD because it was getting nasty, and I replaced it with a stainless steel nose screw- could this be just a reaction to the new jewelery or is it something worse!? Also, it doesn't hurt even when I push on it, no pain beyond the normal amount!.
I've read lots of articles on what it could possibly be, but nothing seems to be very clearly defined from reading them!. It's definitely NOT a keloid and may be a granuloma, but i'm not entirely sure!.
So far today I put two hot compresses on it and that seemed to reduce the swelling by almost 100%, but the bump was still there, just less inflamed!. I also put a little bit of hydrogen peroxide on it today because I heard that dying it out is the goal!?
I won't take it out or get rid of the piercing unless it's going to seriously make me ill, and I'd like to also note that I did this piercing myself, and I've never had any previous issues with it at all!.
Any new advice or info would be GREATLY appreciated, because this is driving me CRAZY!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know this may sound weird, but apple cider vinegar (acv) may work to help get rid of your bump!. It worked on the bump that was by my nose ring, and I wasn't sure what it was either!. I just took a cotton ball soaked with acv and pressed it up against my nose for several minutes!. You can do it a couple of time a day!. The next day you might see huge results if it was the same kind of bump!. The description sounds similar but who knows!.

I've actually had like three bumps come up since I've gotten my nose pierced and one of them looked like something like your picture, except mine was right up next to the nose ring, like kinda trying to surround it!. ACV worked all three times!. I'm actually trying to get rid of one right now!. Did the ACV a few days ago and the bump went down, got crusty (gross I know) and fell off!. I've been picking at it and I think I irritated it again!. So I'm actually sitting here with my ACV again!. I prefer natural remedies if at all possible!.!.!.!. Hope it works for your bump!
