Hello Doctor,
I recently got a nose piercing, but there’s a small bump that hasn’t gone away. It’s been a few weeks now, and I’m starting to get worried. Why is my nose piercing bump not healing, and what can I do to make it go away?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
The bump around your nose piercing could be caused by a few different factors, depending on how long you've had the piercing, as well as the size, thickness, and color of the bump. It could be an irritation bump, a sign of infection, or even a keloid scar. In order to determine the exact cause, it's best to have it examined. Treatment will vary depending on the diagnosis, so I recommend seeing a healthcare provider to get it properly assessed.
Thanks
