Hi I have had my nose ring pierced for about a month now and a little bump has just developed next to it. Any advice on what to do or what not to do? What happens if I popped it once the other day? My nose is not sore or anything its just like an annoying little bump.
VainTaraLynn answered Friday August 26 2005, 4:30 am: I do know that if you get a cartilage pierced and bump appears next to it or udner or on it, it means its infected. I would wait and see if it subsides and just clean it and twist it. I have my nose pierced too, and I havent had that happen so its not a common nose ring thing. Just try extra cleaning it and see if it subsides and if not & it starts hurting and looking pusy and stuff then remove it. or consult your piercer.

jj_u_i_c_y answered Thursday August 25 2005, 9:33 pm: well it can be a pimple. if its a newish ring than you skin can be illergic to it. whoever pierced your nose or any nose piercer ask them if its okay to put tubbing alchohol on it just incase.
