Needs piercing advice!

Post Reply New Topic

I've had my nose pierced for 5 weeks now. I clean it at least twice a day with Saline Wound Wash. I had a cold for about two weeks, so it was touched from blowing my nose. I had gotten a keloid right above my hole (it's been this way for almost three weeks). I tried leaving the saline on it for 15 minutes. The first time it worked wonders, it was so tiny. I did it again today and there wasn't any progress. I was told to use tea tree oil next.

If anyone has any other advice, PLEASEEEE TELL ME!

The lesson to learn from this is :
Never get pierced Again!

i would use a tiny dot of iodine aplied with a pin so as not to show (as it makes an orange/brown mark) its the strongest disinfectant. Try wipeing your hands with alcohol gel before you blow your nose and then wipe your nose with the gel after you blow to keep it germ free.

I have had a lot of success with medihoney, if that helps.

I get keloid scaring, very annoying. Made me glad when I had a op to remove an abcess it was in a place nobody would ever see lol

According to wiki, what I have is not a keloid because it said it hurts and it's itchy. Mine is just a tiny bump. It doesn't hurt or itch at all. It's just ugly, lol. My nose and my ears are the only things I wanted pierced, lol. I prefer tattoos xD
