Maybe: The nose is a fertile area for a variety of germs that feed on the mucus. Any piercing can become infected if the site is not fully healed or is traumatized.You might try applying hydrogen peroxide several times a day to he site. It can kill staph on contact without an antibiotic. If the redness increases see your doc.
