NOSE PIERCING: Is it a pimple, infection, or keloid?

i had my nose pierced back in june 07, and at the end of july, i got a pimple on the side of the piercing, and the pimple popped, but since then, theres been a red bump on the spot. i dont know if its a keloid, or infection, or still a pimple. it kindof hurts when i put the jewelry back in too. is there anything i can do to get rid of this ugly bump?

NOSE PIERCING: Is it a pimple, infection, or keloid?
It has to do with the nose being a cartilage type material, my anti-helix did the same thing (inside of my upper ear). Go to your local Walgreen's or similar pharmacy and pick up some tea-tree oil, and anti-bacterial soap(dial hand soap). Every shower and even between showers wash both ends of the piercing good with the soap, when it dries, use the oil on a q-tip and dab it around the piercing and the bump. if it irritates it try diluting it by placing the q-tip in water before dipping it in the oil. you should be happy with it in a couple of weeks. You'll get used to the smell by the way
Reply:the same thing happened to me when i got the top of my ear pierced, to get rid of it whenever i took a shower i just put my ear under really hot water it hurt a little but it went away in a few days

Didn't your mama ever tell you not to stick things in your nose?





When ever you try and get a real job do you think it will be acceptable to have things made to go in an ear like an earing stuck in your nose?





Have you ever seen professionals such as politicians, doctors, attorneys, majority of star athletes (except Dennis Rodman), professors or your parents have a nose piercing? Of course not! There is a reason being you have not seen these people wear "nose crap" because people with common sense do not stick "crap" in their nose.





If you're smart which I doubt; you will quit asking unqualified people on yahoo for their medical opinion and see a damn doctor and get the crap removed before your "**** ugly" nose with bot fly infestation and infection rots and the nose falls off!





That's right "Sport" you have a bot fly laying larva eggs in the pierced hole of your nose!





How's that nose piercing working out for you?
