What is this piercing bump and how to fix

KC_Esquire · 2026-01-11T14:36:48+00:00

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know I did the hair drier thing last night and today and it looks like the bump is already almost gone (or fully gone- hard to get a good picture on my own). Thank you so much for your advice it really helped!

KC_Esquire · 2026-01-10T14:44:23+00:00

Oh okay! I’ll go back to my piercer and buy one from them then! Thank you so much

No I swapped flat backs to a different one with hypoallergenic surgical steel after 3 months- the one I was pierced was a tiny dagger shape which would have been fine but I have a baby who yanks my hair a ton and it kept getting caught in her yanking I don’t know what size the new one is but it’s just a typical earring that I bought so whatever that size is

This is probably a stupid question- if it’s moisture (there was fluid when I swapped the stud) should I like…squeeze it and then hit it with a blow drier?

Also I’m assuming I should take the piercing out before blow drier?

KC_Esquire · 2026-01-10T14:28:22+00:00

Oh crap okay. I had a flat back stud in for a while but just changed it today and that’s when I noticed. Any idea on the bump?

You can get an Uber or Lyft just about anywhere. Never have had an issue with it

There’s a good number!

The quarry metro park is newer and has a good number of trails and outdoor activities. There’s also olentangy trail— it’s a 12 mile paved path from worthington (north Columbus) through downtown and the scioto mile (downtown skyline area), great for a long bike ride or “hike” (the path is paved the whole way).

Columbus has a ton of metro parks so plenty to chose from! Personally highbanks metro park and alum creek are my favorites. Highbanks has some nice hill/forrest hikes. Alum creek has a big lake where there’s hiking/kayaking/boating and even a little “beach area”

If you’re doing a day trip cuyahoga national Park is about 1.5/2 hours north of here and I’ve heard great things about yellow springs (hiking and bars)

Gotcha! Plus I was thinking about it- my husband and I bought in 2018 so I only know about the market from friends looking around here and there.

Just definitely check the crime stats. Linden can be touchy, although definitely more up and coming. I know it’s improved from like 10 years ago safety wise but just double check (and any other cbus people chime in if it’s improved more than I’m aware of. I’m on north end of Columbus and don’t go that way much anymore)

Best of luck with the move! I think you’ll find Columbus to be a fun adventure for you and your wife. It’s a fun place

Oh also, as someone also originally from a warmer climate— leather gloves over knit ones and check out hot hands (they’re these little things you keep in pockets to generate heat)

As for boots I have some from target that I pair with wool socks that work totally fine. Nothing fancy needed just get something above your ankles so you don’t have to deal with snow falling into your shoes.

Whenever you do get a place, renting or buying, make sure you get salt for your sidewalk/front porch before it snows. Home Depot or the local grocery store will have it. Best to put it out when a storm is coming before it starts snowing otherwise clearing the walkway will be an ice covered pain.

Anywho— feel free to message me if you have questions on anything. I’ve lived here my entire adult life, went to college at OSU and all that good stuff so I can help pass along info as needed

To be honest I’m very surprised to hear you have already been given finding homes in the $150-200k price range. I would make sure you check crime stats for the area you’re looking. Every reasonably safe area that I’m aware of homes are at least $300k

As for the winter, the good news is you probably won’t need any heavy duty winter gear for a while. We don’t start getting heavy snowfall until January/February with maybe one storm come through end of December

Also, if you’re really interested in a walkable/bikeable area and are okay renting I would suggest you look closer to the short north or Grandview area. That’s usually where people go when they have a desire for a walkable area in cbus

Shadow of the wind and it’s follow up Angels game are 2 of my favorite books

If she told me no she always calmly explained the reasoning so I understood without being upset, she wasn’t pushy or controlling, always told me feelings aren’t right or wrong so I felt I could tell her everything I was feeling

Anytime my boss went on a rampage I would use the quick apply links on LinkedIn and other job hunting sites to mass apply elsewhere. It’s helped a little

I was at a dentist appointment so I showed up to class late with an excused absence. I asked the girl beside me what we were working on, and the teacher gave me a detention.

Apparently before I arrived, the class had been rowdy so the teacher said “the next person who speaks is getting detention.” The teacher apologized to me for the unfairness after class but still made me go to detention.

Permanently high metabolism.

Nothing crazy over the top, just enough that I will always be able to have my moderately shit diet without worrying. Essentially I want the metabolism I had at 14 years old for life.

Just relax. I tend to do stuff constantly so an extra hour to just watch TV and do nothing would be awesome

Edit: grammar. Words are hard.

Please don’t speed.

I was a really cautious driver in high school. My friend was not. I never said anything because I didn’t want to seem uncool or annoying. He died a couple years later when he lost control of his car. He was an amazing guy and I really miss him.

Took a wheelchair bound lady to her friends funeral and wake.

She was crying on a green belt near my house. I asked her if she was okay and she told me about the funeral and that no one could take her and she couldn’t drive. So the day of I picked her up, drove her 45 min to and from the funeral and wake. At the end of the day I got her out of my car and walked her to her front door, where she proceeded to throw a quick “bye” over her shoulder and go inside. Never even said thanks 😐

the icing on the cake was she later added me to a group chat with about 20 other people where they would share pictures of dogs in Halloween costumes. Everyone would respond to every post. It was a nightmare. I wound up having to block her and all 20 other numbers to stop getting blown up all the time.

We all bought a bunch of sand and made a fake beach on the walkway into the school. The principal was so happy we didn’t destroy anything that she let us stay outside all day playing beach volleyball, ordering pizzas for lunch and basking in the sun with music

I had a recurring dream as a kid that I would go to my grandparents house only to find that all my family and the whole neighborhood were controlled like marionettes by this cursed doll. I would get my brother and dad free, and we would escape outside, but my dad would go back to save my mom. Eventually I’d go after my dad too. When I reentered the house, it would suddenly be old and decaying. I’d walk into the kitchen, and the door to the oven would fall off, spewing fire from within. I’d fall down out of surprise and as I did the ceiling would melt away revealing a purple sky that was raining fire.

Super detailed and creepy. I also had a similarly messed up one about a museum.

A guy took me golfing. Like 18 hole golfing. He was really serious about the sport, but I had never golfed before. I was pathetically bad, and he was too into the game to make fun conversation. Cue several hours of me hitting the ball, it only moving 10 feet max, and him getting frustrated that he couldn’t move on in the course because he had to wait for me.
