    leave the jewellry in and go see your doc (taking it out could make things worse)... it might be a cyst, but it does sound like a keloid... it could be a reaction to the jewellry you have in there...but without seeing it or knowing in what conditions your nose was pierced, it would be unwise for me to offer any other advise... sometimes docs can be useful... if anything else comes to mind, i will post again... meanwhile, don't just ignore it... good luck...

    I had a small bump next to mine for a while when I first had it done, but it went away. Just keep it clean and you could always call the place you got it pierced and ask their advice, they are usually pretty helpful.

    dont go to a doctor, dont wash it with anything but water.

    no alcohol, only take it out to change it to something that's surgical steel if you have a crappy stud that you got from a gun piercing, those are bad :)

    no plastic or gold either

    imho dettol is too harsh... just use a mild saline solution... if the guy who pierced it said it'll be fine, then it is likely it will be fine... it doesn't look like a keloid... just keep an eye on it... i'd only start to worry if it grows...

    have you considered having your nose removed? (sorry, i keep thinking i'm on the games forums)... was it Lynxx who said she had same and it eventually went away? if you can't go to doc, then i would just carry on cleaning it (once a day though... don't overdo the cleaning)... i'll wager it does just go in time... you are going to notice the red bump more than others, so don't worry... :)

    it should go away. keep cleaning it daily ( & get salt water in there to dry out the bump... nose piercings take a long time to heal so they have to be kept very clean in order to heal correctly and as short as possible.

    keep the jewelry in. since your nose is not completely healed if you change the jewelry it could restart the wait time and your nose will take longer to heal.

    i had one of those for a month, i used salt water and peroxide daily until it went away :) it may be a puss sack, you DO NOT want to pop it.

    If you end up taking it out for good just get a septum ring, they heal a shitload easier.

    Oh yeah, and the next time you get a piercing DON'T LET ANYONE TOUCH YOU WITH A PIERCING GUN. Go to a parlor that has a needle. Sorry if you did go to a parlor and use a real needle it just doesn't look like it

    Also, I just remembered that to heal my bump I took it out for like 1 night and then popped it back through. Don't do this if you have a stud with the ball that pops in, only the pointy ended studs

    I'd totaly be tempted to needle it and squeeze out whatevers in there

    I had a bumb like that on my snug piercing. Do you touch or play with the piercing alot? Or handle it to get all the gunk off? Stop doing this and the bumb will go away.
