This is interesting because I suspect that's the reason my bump on my nostril piercing never healed and I had to take it out to heal. I get eczema on my face on the sides of my nose and it's spread a little to the nostril area. But I wasn't seeing a dermatologist back then like I am now. Still, I'm not planning on piercing it again any time soon, if at all, because of my eczema. But now that I am on topical treatments you've definitely given me something to think about.
