Get it medically : Checked.  Need to know if this nose piercing was through the septum (cartilage) or through nares tissue.There can be complications with both - but extremely serious ones with septal piercings.

Question 7

i have nose piercing its been8-9 mths now and since more than 2mth i have bump over piercing i was given injection from skin dr but still the same.

Accepted Answer

Keloid: This could be a keloid or hypertrophic scar from the piercing. Sometimes several steroid injections are necessary to make it smaller or to get it to go away. Also, sometimes other treatments are necessary which might include excising the abnormality including the piercing site and surgically and repairing the defect. Sometimes post-op steroid injections are used, as well.

Accepted Answer

Recommend: that you see a dermatologist to see if anything can be done to minimize this.

Question 9

my fully healed nose piercing with a bump on it started bleeding while i was cleaning it. is it infected?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Very difficult to say without an exam. An infection would typically have red skin around the site. Bleeding by itself doesn't necessarily mean there is an infection.  If you're concerned, see a primary care doctor for an exam, and proper evaluation. Hope this helps!

Accepted Answer

: At this stage I recommend consulting a nose piercing specialist near you which can be found on the internet. Even better would be to ask a physician or surgeon if he/she does piercings and consult one.
