Man, i got my nostril pierced by my friend Lee about a month ago. I'm totally in love with it, it looks really great, but I'm getting kind of anxious with the whole healing process. It's got this red bump all around where the jewelry is, and I've been soaking it with saline and cleaning it once a day with spectro gel, and it still won't go down. Almost everyone (except for Lee) I've talked to said that they never got a bump when they got their nostril pierced, and some never even cleaned their jewelry and the piercing healed up perfectly. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!!!! It's so frustrating. I see the red bump every time I look at the ground and it's really distracting. Also, it kind of hurts sometimes, but I know it's not infected because there's no gross-colored pus coming out of it. GAH!! JUST HEAL ALREADY, DAMMIT!

I had a bump once or twice while healing but they were gone within 24 hours. Don't know if this worked, but I soaked a cloth in hot hot water and held it to the piercing for a minute or two. (I mean aside from proper cleaning.) Have faith in your nose!!

I do have faith in my nose! I swear! I just don't want it to get infected, that's all.
