Anyone with a nose ring? I got mine pierced Jan 20 and it’s still red I think it’s getting infected how long is it gonna…

Everyone heals differently as annoying as that answer can be. How did you get it pierced, needle or piercing gun? The thing is as long as there’s no signs of bleeding or leakage you’re good. Does it hurt to touch?

@qoldenxrose, needle and is not really sore just red

@qoldenxrose,

@lydia09876, Again, my thing is, no fever, no puss or blood, then you’re good. Your body is still most likely just healing and getting used to the inanimate object in your nose.

It dousnt look super red , maybe it’s just the pic but I’d be careful if you maybe use facewash to not get it on the piercing . It could be irritating it but other than that i can’t see why it would be red still ? It’s been a little bit as @qoldenxrose, said .. everyone heals differently 🤷🏽‍♀️ your body might just be taking its time healing that piercing . Keep it clean and if it’s bloody or oozing stuff than I’d go back to whoever pierced it for you or just take it out if that’s easier

@qoldenxrose, ok thank you what should I use to clean it I’ve been using lens cleaner saline solution that’s what they told me then I switched yesterday to sea salt and warm water do I need to get this

@lydia09876, Do not waste your money on these products. Sea salt and warm water is more then enough to heal and clean your piercing out. But I would definitely tone down on the sea salt washing. You normally can stop after 2-4 weeks, too much of a sea salt wash will only irritate your piercing.

@qoldenxrose, k so do it how many times a day

@lydia09876, when you first get a piercing it’s always recommended once or twice a day. once in the am and once at night - but you’re almost going on a month so i’ll just switch to once a day or twice a week. you have to see if your sea salt wash could be what’s possibly irritating your piercing

Mine scared me a little at first so I did the bc powder treatment and all the redness went away for good. It was either bc powder or goody and u make a paste... YouTube it. Worked wonders for me

@newlywedmama21, goody powder?

@lydia09876 yeah it was either that or bc powder with something else

It's gonna take a while to heal. At least 3 months. Yours doesn't look infected. Just keep it cleaned and you'll be fine.
