Nose Ring Bump?!


Question:

Nose Ring Bump?

I've had my nose pierced for 2 years. I recently experienced a bump either around or under my piercing. I wasn't sure if it was a pimple or an infection. I go tanning often so when I noticed the bump, I started to clean it 2 to 3 times a day thinking it was an infection from the towels at the tanning salon.( because I got one in my belly piercing from tanning in the past) I recently noticed that the bump has gotten bigger and finally popped it. There was blood when I popped it. It has gone down a little but, I'm worried that it will come back worse than before. Please help me figure out what it could be. Hopefully it's nothing too serious:(

A professional piercer once told me that some people are more prone to these bumps. They are infections, and they tend to keep coming back. She said it all has to do with pore size, your natural bacteria, your immune system, etc. I ended up taking my nose pierce out because of it. My other pierces are fine. Try to heal yours and maybe it won't come back. It is a bacterial infection, so use some hydrogen peroxide and triple antibiotic. If it recurs ......
