Nose piercing question for professional or those with experience?!


Question:

Nose piercing question for professional or those with experience?

I've had my nose pierced for 2 years now and had the ring changed yesterday. I went to a new place and the piercer had no idea what he was doing and couldn't get the nostil screw in. it was bloody and red after he fussed with it yesterday and today when i woke up it had this white stuff coming out and was still oozing blood (the guy used universal precautions so everything was clean and sterile). it doesn't appear to be infected (the white stuff is just normal crusties, not puss) but it hurts pretty bad. What do I do to heal it again?Just return to normal aftercare procedures? And what exactly is wrong with it considering it was complelty healed to begin with? Thanks!


Answers:

Sounds like it just got really irritated. Try not to fuss with it and it should return to normal in a couple of days. If not you may have gotten an infection (I doubt it if it hasn't begun to swell). When you changed your jewelry did you change metals? I once had an allergic reaction to a new metal in one of my piercings. If you are still having trouble in two to three days, I would suggest consulting your doctor.
