I had my nose pierced about 4 weeks ago, recently it formed a small lump which I'm afraid to say I picked at! Now it is weeping and bleeding whenever I clean it. it has been like this for about 5-6 days. I am cleaning it with warm water and "woundwash" am I doing the right thing and will it be OK? any advice or experiences on this appreciated thanks!!!
When you get a lump by it that is because you have knocked it, get some hydrogen peroxide from your piercer and use this for a small amount of time. It takes about 6 weeks for a nose piercing to heal. Get some antibacterial soap, dont use a towel near it and it should clear up ok.
Thanks for advice guys! it seems to be getting better. I think I might have been over cleaning it and traumatising it too much! the lump is smaller now and less messy, hope it sorts itself out!
