Well I have had my Nose pierced for 5 months and I have had the bump thing for about 4 months. I'm just wondering if this is permanent thing. I have tried to not touch it. I'm very careful when washing my face etc.
Also the inside has a bump like thing around the jewelery, is this normal.
I enjoy this site and check in often to see if anybody has found the remedy for healing the bump. ( faster than just leaving it alone) HE HE HE
It is very encouraging to know that I am not the only one with this problem. Any advise would be awesome.
Thanks.
I am curious too, because I have been leaving mine alone for like... a month almost. And nothing has been changing. I have still not put anything on it.
It is making me so embarrassed when people look at my face. My band teacher today was like, "You need to go see a doctor for that... really. Or I'll call your parents" and I am just sick of people saying "Whats up with your nose?" When will it go away? I know you said it would take time since I had put stuff on it, etc... but How long do I have to wait?
So I decided to take out my ring that I had in and put my stud back in and it went from super bad to way better and now you can't even see it really. YAY. ANd I've been trying to leave it alone forever.
sometimes sleeping on it will iritate it. But do your best to leave it alone. Mine almost went away and then i think i was sleeping on it or something and it got a bit bigger but.. I HATE THIS DAMN BUMP why cant we alljust have normal fucking piercings.
Guys you just have to be patient.
Ive had my piercing for 6months now and its JUST starting to look the best it has for the whole time. I still have a slight bump but its improving with time.
You really have to just be really careful and wait for these to heal. Some people heal really quickly while others can take up to OVER a year to heal a nostril piercing.
If you really want it you will try your best at keeping it, if you don't you will just give up.
Plus sometimes things can be iriitating it. You have to find the source of these. Maybe the type of jewellery, cleaners, the hole itself, your immune system....all different factors effect these things.
Finally! I have found others with my same problem. Not just the bump but having it for so long and wondering if it will ever go away. I have had my nose pierced since september and the bump appeared shortly after and I still have it. I have popped it, done sea salt soaks, and tried to change my jewelry but nothing seems to help. There is ultimately three things that it could be, a follicular cyst (just an inflamed pore next to the piercing, a keloid (extends beyond the piercing hole and usually keeps getting bigger), or hypertrophic scarring which almost looks the same as a keloid but eventually gets better on its own over time. I don't know exactly what I have but it looks like a little red blister under skin but when I tried to pop it, it just bleeds? Is this what yours does? I have also been using tea tree oil which can be pretty harsh for some but it seems to help for a lot of people.
yes so it gets irritated quickly
I know why my bumpy is back. I NEED to blow my nose and clean that sucker out but there is no way to clean in there without moving the stud around so how will it ever heal when I gotta clean my nose out!?
If you still have the bump, there is still something irritating the piercing. You may be unconsciously touching it (popping it), probably doing something in your sleep which you cannot control or using products that are harsh and damaging to the tissues.
We suggest that you do a warm water compress in the evening for about 10 minutes; this will calm down the tissues and hydrate the skin. Changing jewellery can be both a benefit and an irritant. Some have said that it has helped and others the opposite. Each person is different and leaving it alone so that the body can heal itself is the best advice and we have seen for the majority of people has worked the best.
Once you start abusing the tissues, this delays the healing process. Please be patient and do your best to leave it alone; the bump will go away.
The body knows that there is a hole in your nose and it wants to patch it up, but you have jewellery in the way. The body believes this to be an irritation and the bump is fibrous filled fluid ready to patch up the hole as soon as the irritation is dealt with. Since there is jewellery, you have to convince the body that there is nothing for it to do, by leaving it alone, and eventually the bump will be reabsorbed into the body to be used somewhere else.
