how to get rid of bump on nose piercing won't go away?

Question

There is a small bump on inside of my nose where the piercing is. What could it be and how do I get rid of it?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Acne Therapy: Acne treatments work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, reducing the inflammation or doing all four. With most prescription acne treatments, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better. There are topicals like ziana and epiduo and oral medication like solodyn (minocycline). See your dermatologist.

Answer 3

Could be cosmetic: No coomon for a young person. Please see a pediatrician or a dermatologist and have a great day!

Answer 4

Probably not: In japan they showed it could happen, but with 40% peroxide. It's illegal in the usa, here we only get up to 3-5% no proof here.

Answer 5

Doubtful: The most common problem with the chronic use of peroxide is developing a yeast or fungal infection. This is due to the fact that the normal bacterial flora in the mouth has been disrupted and you get an overgrowth.

Answer 6

No proof: No evidence to support. See oral surgeon or ENT doc if you have any of these symptoms: Persistent mouth sore, persistent mouth pain, a lump or thickening in the cheek, a white/red patch on the gums, tongue, tonsil, or lining of the mouth, a sore throat, hoarseness or feeling that something is caught in the throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing/chewing.

Answer 7

General care: Lymphedema of the arm is seen following breast procedures (axillary dissection, radiation), and avoiding putting pressure on the arm doesn't prevent the swelling. Avoid scratches, injury of the arm that can result in infection and further damage of the lymphatics. Seek help of a lymphedema trained physical therapist for specific advice.

Answer 8

Stimulate other side: To help relieve stress stimulate your opposite arm pit by massaging daily - called manual lymph drainage. There are lymph massage tools available over the counter. Then do the same massage on affected arm this will prevent lymphedema on the affected side.

Answer 9

No: Commonly used antibiotics for UTI don't stop you from getting pregnant. In fact, some women on birth control pills get pregnant when they take antibiotics as antibiotics can affect birth control pill effectiveness.

Answer 10

No.: Antibiotics are generally safe in pregnancy. I know of no antibiotic that can decrease fertility.
