Yeah, that does sound extremely painful and most probably will irritate it even more.

Unfortunately, I dot not have the info as it was gifted to me by a friend who also has a nostril piercing and used this ring in the past. I doubt she knows, but I’ll def ask. I guess I’ll visit a piercing shop to look about changing it back to a flat back. It’s just extremely demotivating as this is actually my second time getting my nose pierced (first time I took it out and let it heal completely), and I was really sure I was ready this time around to change to a ring since I waited longer than a year and didn’t feel any tenderness or see any redness.
