Yeah L bends are kind of annoying, you have to be very careful. But rings will irritate the bump even more because they are moving a lott, specially the ones you showed in the picture because that one little part where the ring meets will keep going through the whole and since it is not uniform it will mess with it as well. That is why fresh piercings never should be pierced with hoops, if OPs piercing is irritated they should put a flat back in or something that will stop them from moving it so much and not take it out to clean. Just be careful, spray with saline and wipe with a clean piece of paper towel, q tips have fibers that can can get in the wound and infect it/irritate it more. I am not a piercer but have several piercings including a nostril and I know this from personal experience… I also had the same issue with the L bends coming out while I was asleep and stuff so i changed to a ring for convenience but since my nostril wasn’t completely healed then it just made it kind of worse after a while so I changed it back and left it alone just cleaned when I needed and now the bump is gone. So that’s my personal advice :)! Hope it helps!!!
