A member asked:
I have a nose ring and i've had it for a while now but all of a sudden the hole as gotten black what should i do? and what does that mean? help?

Remove: Sounds like the channel in which the ring exists had developed an infection. Needs to be removed and the hole examined by a physician who can take a culture to determine if antibiotics are warranted.
