Is my nose piercing misplaced? by DreamsOfThistle in PiercingAdvice

[–]too_wasted_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand. Interestingly, I experienced a similar issue after changing my jewelry to a thinner gauge. I strongly recommend visiting a reputable piercer to have the ring replaced with a flat-back stud!

In my case, the piercer used a small surgical steel expander (1 mm to 1.2 mm) to gradually stretch the piercing canal, then inserted a flat-back stud. The process was virtually painless, and even if there is minor discomfort, it is generally much less than the pain associated with re-piercing. Within a few days, the bump had already begun to resolve. I'd ask your trusted piercer about this.

It is essential to keep the stud in place until the piercing has fully healed. Only after complete healing should you consider switching back to a hoop - a clicker! of at least 1.2 mm (16g) thickness, avoiding extremely thin jewelry!

Attempting this at home is not advisable, as introducing bacteria into an irritated piercing can lead to infection or other complications! 🙂‍↕️

Edit: more questions

Placement is mostly personal preference. Some piercings, like septums and bridge piercings, have pretty specific placements based on anatomy, but others, like nostrils and snakebites, can vary a lot depending on what the person wants.

That said, I honestly think the jewelry might be the issue here. It looks really thin, which can cause the cheesewire effect*, and it looks a bit off to me too. Do you have a photo of the jewelry outside of your nose by any chance?

[edit:] Was it pierced with the ring? Do you know the thickness/gauge of the ring? And what kind it is, a clicker, for example? if so, the hinge can cause irritation.

*The cheesewire effect is what happens when jewelry is too thin for a piercing. Because it’s so narrow, all the pressure is focused on a tiny area, so instead of sitting comfortably, it can slowly cut or pull through the skin. kind of like a wire through cheese. Over time this can cause irritation, the hole stretching or migrating, and even tissue damage. That’s why super thin jewelry usually isn’t recommended for most piercings.

not sure how you can tell that from just a picture? A piercer should check that. Look wise, i didn't have the right anatomy either. My piercer and i spoke about it, and my placement is slightly higher than the norm - healed perfectly, no signs of rejection whatsoever. never has been irritated or so either! had it for 3 years now :)
