I got a nose piercing on january its april right now and it got infected. i got a bump inside my nose its little and on the outside it just looks infected. i started applying hydrogen peroxide and mupirocin ointment. is than okay method to heal?

Yes.: skin infections can occur anytime the skin is broken. using hydrogen peroxide and mupirocin on both the outer skin and inside your nose will treat it from the outside in. If you do not notice an improvement in 2 days, see a dr for oral antibiotics to treat the infection.
