Nobody ever talks about getting a bump when changing to a nose ring too soon! I wish my piercer told me it was too soon for me to wear a ring. She told me 2 months. I know it absolutely caused my bump that proceeded to last on and off for about 3 months. I fought it, eventually I had a fully healed and perfect nostril piercing. It was a horrible experience with that reoccurring bump and it seemed like forever. I wouldn't recommend it. No other youtuber has said this!!! They always say "hey its YOUR fault for snagging it/not washing it!" When that was far from the case for me- when my own piercer did it to me! 😭
That's my problem right now, too! She changed my nostril too soon to a ring and now I have a bump. This sucks so much and she's on hoiiday now. She'll be in the studio next week, so she can take a look at it and I hope it'll be successful like yours, although the process war just annyoing.
My nose ring snatched out in my sleep 2 weeks after I got it because the ring was too long for my nose and soon after i had a bump and I was SO heated 😭. for about 4 months i had it, it popped, and then came back for another 4 months and I used tea tree oil to get rid of it.
i think thats what happened with me. maybe my body just heals slow its been about three months so i switched it and immediately got a bump even tho i never dealt with any issues before that. hopefully it doesnt take a while to go away but imma take good care of it
i never give up on my piercings even when they get bumps i keep taking care of them and eventually they usually go away i will try emu oil thanks for this !
My dad's girlfriend tried to tell me to spin my new piercings. Even after my piercer said not to. 😂 So, yeah. Family and friends will tell you to do so many different things.
How long ago did she get piercings? Seriously, it’s the “best” advice that we were given at the time if you were getting piercings 20+ years ago. We know a lot more about piercings and better aftercare today then we did back then.
When I got my industrial 2 years ago, my parents kept telling me to spin it and I was like no and he always kept insisting until he forgot about it I thought I was the only one 😂
Everyone told me that industrial piercings were ridiculously hard to heal, but I went through with it anyway and I’m so happy with it. You gotta keep up with aftercare, because when it heals properly and quickly it’ll really make you wanna get another piercing in the future.
Yeah, i didn't know the industrial was a difficult piercing to heal, but I assumed it had a higher degree of difficulty since it is two piercing (at once) the body is trying to heal as well as it's in the cartilage (less blood flow). I kept up on the aftercare, got my bar curved a bit, and downsized when I knew my body would be done swelling and I found it to heal up really nicely. I stopped having healing tenderness around the 1month mark and less so when the bar was downsized.
I heard industrial was the hardest to heal because it makes two holes with a 14 g. needle. Also, having long hair makes it easy for it to get tangled in the piercing and cause irritation/infection. But, it’s the easiest one I’ve had. I just cleaned it with saline for forever, and never slept on that side. I never got an infection or keloid. It’s my favorite one I have.
I've had my industrial for 11 years now. It took 6 years of fighting to get rid of my keloid that developed. Same thing happened when i first got my nose pierced - this nose piercing i couldn't fight anymore as it was embarrassing to have this massive bump that everyone could see smack dab in the middle of my face so i gave up and took it out 😞 i love piercings and would love to get my nose pierced again but I'm terrified and don't think my body will accept anything...
I heard industrial was hard to take care of too. So naturally I went and got it as my first piercing. It was really sore and caught on my glasses sometimes, but swapping it out for a shorter one 6 months later made a huge difference. It’s been 4.5 years. And now I’m here for my nose ring that has caused a bump on the inside of my nose and I’m unsure of how to make it go away.
This is so refreshing to hear! I'm a professional body piercer and my clients always hate me for making them wait 4 months for a nose ring but most of them do be patient and thank me later! Others force them in too soon themselves and end up losing the piercing altogether. We don't say it to spite you! We say it because it's best for you! 😖
@@lilitheq630 if you remove the piercing, the bump will go away as there will no longer be anything agitating it. Sometimes it can take a little while but there are things that will help them go quicker such as Emu Oil like Scott suggests and my personal favourite is chamomile tea bag. They're cheap and very effective. (:
@@rosaarias5277 the way I suggest to my clients is to make the tea as normal, (drink of ditch the tea) remove the tea bag (drain it but not fully, just so it's not dripping every where) and just hold it against your piercing (as hot as you can bare, no need to burn yourself) and keep it there until it goes cold. 2-3 times a day. (:
Hey! I got my nostril pierced last January 2022 and after two months I developed a bump. I’ve tried salt water soaks, jojoba oil, Vitamine e oil, tea tree oil, and as of now a clean spray and polysporin which I have seen small results with. I’ve also got it changed once to titanium. The bump keeps fluctuating in size and I just don’t know what else to do. I’m thinking of getting it changed to a ring soon because my cousin had a bump which was worse than mine and hers went away and she had a ring. What’s your advice?
If you have a persistent piercing bump please see a dermatologist. You don’t have to lose your piercing. I had a cartilage piercing bump that wouldn’t go no matter HOW LONG (I’m talking about months), until I was prescribed topical cortisone for 3 days and honestly it worked like magic.
Not always true, generally if you get rid of the source of the problem and the bump will go away. Bumps don't just show up for no reason. It also says for external use only right on the directions. It could also be the jewelry style, size or polish on it, lifestyle and the soaps, fragrances and chemicals from everyday life, even just touching it can cause those bumps. Again get rid of the source of the problem and the bump will go away.
I got bumps on both nostrils. My right one was particularly fussy. Had an 8mm labret in it from the beginning. As soon as 2 months hit and it hadn't had crusties for a few days, I downsized it. After weeks of trying to get rid of the bump, downsizing it made it go away in 5 days. Amazing, truly 😄
So you adjusted ur piercing length and with proper care it disappeared in 5 days? I have a bump on one my of my nostrils, just changed the size today, hopefully it helps.
@@tinaf600 I went to my piercer. I have never used a ring since it is curved and aggravates the fistula as it heals. I started with an 18G 8mm internally threaded flat back stud and switched to a 6mm one and no issues since. I research a lot of my own shit carefully so I was confident that downsizing was appropriate for me.
Even people who have been pierced for decades fall blunder to this one. I use organic emu oil for healing them or any skin agitation. Its INCREDIBLE. Was able to reset pulled angry dermals as well on my outside wrists a very "high traffic" zone ♡ Its super cheap and a little goes a long way :) A+ to you Scott you really know your craft
@@artedesarializ I personally do not myself. I put one droplet on the bead/top and just use a q tip to lightly clean any extra as it drips around the wound which is goal but don't want a huge mess hehe. Be gentle as it's oil and absorbs well. You don't want to disturb the area too much as it never sets and is so disappointing ♡ I'm healing quite a few surface piercings atm so with the emu oil, occasional bandaids loose for air when snags are more likely and a saline wound wash is what I've used. So far in the clear *knocks on wood* lol
I once had a boyfriend that would constantly try to fiddle and play with my belly ring whenever we cuddled. I would tell him to stop before it got infected and when it eventually DID he tried to blame the piercer for doing it wrong 🙄 He later got an industrial and had to remove it bc he couldn’t stop touching it 😂
Hey Scott! I got my tragus pierced in late June this year. And let me tell you, this piercing bump is the best thing that has ever happened to my skin. It led me to finding your video, which convinced me to try emu oil. Not only is the piercing bump GONE, but I used it on the rest of my skin just so I wouldn’t waste the bottle. My skin is clearer than before, healthier, and softer than ever! I have since I upgraded to ostrich oil. Now all of my immediate family is using it lmao. It’s a game changer! Thanks, Scott! 🙌❤️🔥
Hi Scott, loved your video! One of my clients, who is proned to keloids got a huge one on their helix piercing (done in another shop, understood it was not done properly when they told me the piercer had to push the needle 3 times to get through the skin 😨). The treatment that was done, by a professionnal dermatologist of course, was to get this keloid burnt with cold. He let it dry for a couple days and then removed it surgically. I didn't know about this procedure until then and thought it was a good one to share 😊
I started my first nostril piercing with a 16g ring and had no problems. I'm sure the credit goes to my piercer (Cat at Koi studio, SLC). I took care of it on a regular schedule (saline on the outside only!) and I stayed conscientious of it. I do a lot of stimming when I'm idle, but it was easy to keep my nostril piercing clean and un-disturbed. I also work in a hot and linty print shop, and it didn't hurt because it was a good piercing job and I kept it clean!
This is a great video. I am almost 36 and have been getting pierced since I was 19. I love the evolution of piercing aftercare and how hoops aren’t used as initial jewelry. It’s amazing I never developed any bumps from the old ways. I have experienced some bumps with more recent piercings and had mixed success with tea tree oil. I’ll definitely give emu oil a try.
I had a big bump on the front of my conch for about 5 months (couldn't go in to see my piercer because of covid), it formed after I had a ring put in after about 9 months of healing. I don't know why the piercer who changed my jewelry didn't warn me not to go ahead with the change because she remarked that my conch was still healing after she took the original stud out. I would have gladly waited if she recommended I do so! I had to go back and get the stud put back in and the bump is healing now. I would not go back to this piercer.
I had my conch pierced WITH A RING! When the bump formed I couldn't go to my piercer because of covid! 1 year later I went and showed it to him and he was like "this is an infection. Put hydrogen peroxide 3 times a day for 14 days" I had watched this video and was like "I think we should just put a bar or a stud there. I don't think it's an infection. It doesn't hurt, doesn't leak anything, doesn't smell" and he kept saying it was an infection and if I do those things and it doesn't go away he would have to cut it.... Needless to say I still haven't done anything and won't listen to his advice
You helped me so much knowing the difference in piercing bumps and Keloids , I did everything you said and my piercing bump went down ALOT. Thankyou so much !
I see sooo many people call a piercing bump a keloid along with more misinformation like spinning the piercing to help it heal. This video was really informative hopefully it helps somebody not make mistakes!
thank you for talking about hoops. i got my earlobes pierced and had little knowledge of the difference between healing a stud and healing a hoop, especially with it being my first piercings. the piercer offered me both options as starter jewellery, didn't mention that there would be any difference in healing, and i chose the hoops for aesthetic reasons. they refused to heal even after months and developed bumps despite me being vigilant with cleaning and trying different solutions/fixes, which eventually resulted in me just taking them out cos i was sick of dealing with it. if i try again in the future i know to definitely not go for hoops as starters (and to go to a different piercer who knows not to offer it lol)
earlobes are a very easy heal with studs! i did 3 of my earlobe piercings at home and they have all healed great, way better than my original one that was done with a gun and a hoop.
That piercer did you so dirty with not telling you to not to use hoops. I have 3 lobe piercings on both ears, you have to start with studs and then for like 1-6 months until they are fully healed can you change to hoops.
Thank you so much for this. It's the best and most informative I've seen on this topic. I've watched tons of videos on how to get rid of a nostril piercing bump, but none ever explain what causes them in the first place, especially w/ a hoop. My piercer pierced me with a hoop and a bump sprung up in a month. Kept it at bay with tea tree oil and exfoliators (as per those other videos) and while the redness and size decreased, it wouldn't go away. After the piercing fully healed, I went to another shop to change it out to a stud. I didn't want to change it myself as to not irritate it further. Apparently the piercer couldn't rotate the ring.and my piercing had almost closed. I now have a stud in until this bump heals, and I'll be attending that second shop for future piercings.
I had the nose bump that developed after tearing the L bar out 3 times after i was pierced 3 months ago. A Doc and a surgeon misdiagnosed, and the surgeon wanted to charge over 2 grand to remove the bump. I left it alone and slowly but surely it is almost gone. My ring is too long. My nose is on the smaller side, so now I will go to the shop for a fitting. Thank you so much.
Just wanted to check in and say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I watched your video three weeks ago where you suggested that nose bumps can be happening because we changed out the stud to a ring too early. I got my nose piercing in February 2021, and changed it to a ring in May. I had a reoccurring bump on ever since! I switched back and I can confirm I have had NO bumps at all (touch wood) since I did it. THANK YOU!!! You are amazing!
Hey! I’m in a similar situation you were in lol. I switched my fully healed piercing from a stud to a ring, and now I have a keloid. After u changed back into a stud and let it heal, did you ever try the ring/hoop again? If you did, any bumps occur the second time around?
i wish this video wouldve existed years ago when i was trying to heal my nose piercings. the piercers at the shop i went to kept telling me to clean it with water only, as they thought "chemicals make everything worse". i thought the bumps were my fault for the longest time, any google search would just say to listen to your piercer, but finally i went on an old ass piercing forum and found a recipe for sea salt water and they finally healed up. never going back to that place again, this video is very helpful. the internet has a lot of info on keloids, not a lot on piercing bumps
THANK YOU so MUCH for telling us about emu oil! My 2 week old vertical labret is very irritated because the top ball keeps sticking to my lip and pulling, causing an irritation bump. I was told I couldn't use lip balm and my lips have been so dry. I just ordered some emu oil. I'm so excited to be able to moisturize the area! I'll update once I've been using it for a while.
@@gagenewman829 it went great! The oil is very moisturizing. It helped my irritation bump feel so much better and after a week the bump disappeared. :)
@@nick.universe_ that’s dope! I wanted to put a circular barbell in my nostril because it don’t seem that popular of a piercing it’s always for septum piercings changed it after two weeks super impatient and now I gotta bump I’ve been using tea tree oil for a few days and it’s helped some
@@nick.universe_ omg hi, i’ve just ordered some emu oil and it’s just arrived. do i just slap it on as i would like saline solution? (it’s for my nostril)
This helped me understand that my nose piercing was not viable. I went to the local tattoo/piercing shop and talked to them about it. The piercer who did my nose piercing didn't pierce it right. Thank you so much for the advice.
This always happened with my earlobes and esp my cartilage piercings. It's kind of hard not to sleep on it when you inadvertently roll to your side so, alas, they ended up being removed.
Hello from Germany! Im a Piercer for 30 Years. In general we in Europe doing Piercings a bit differnd from Piercer in US (diffrend needles). Thats maybe by diffrend Laws and "Traditon". So: We use "Tyrosur Gel" for smaler ones, 5 - 10 Days. Even to change from Titanium to PTFE can help sometimes. Importent is, that the Customer gomes in early, as soon he sees something goese wrong. I like this Video. Most things we handle the same (like 3 Months to wait for changing into a Ring)! Best reg. from Germany, Gianco
Started getting one on my bridge from it being the wrong size jewelry plus I was told to spin it to properly clean it. As soon as I saw the bump and what seemed to be a raised migration, I sadly but quickly took it out. It's been about three months since it's been out. I'm gonna give it another go now that I'm more educated.
Those examples are so useful! Some of those bumps were so narly I wonder why the jewelry was kept in. The bumps on my industrial were so tiny they didn't even hurt, thanks to my local piercing studio doing such an awesome job.
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel, this video helped me get rid of my bump after my nose got knocked, thank you so much because of you my nose healed nicely and I've now healed enough that I could swap to a nose ring 💕
This is definitely one of the most informative videos on piercings and I’m so glad I found it. I’m looking into getting quite a few this year. Thank you for all of this information.
I got a bump from accidentally pulling my piercing out in my sleep constantly, I tried looking online for any solution to get rid of it but nothing really worked but what did work was putting a bandage on it when I slept so I didn’t pull it out and soaking it twice a day with sea salt water
@@leahj6525 thank you for the suggestion! But gladly mine already went away lol I didn’t really wanna use tea tree oil though because I heard it’s pretty harsh on skin :(
@@leahj6525 mine is an infection I think it just burst today actually and I really want it to go away :( it looks like it’s finally starting to calm down a little but it’s an industrial piercing so it’s a bitch to heal. You think tea tree oil is okay on an infection?
Keloids can be removed. I had one. They numb your ear and use like a scalpel knife and cut it out. Then they give you like a special clamp on ear ring to keep your lobe compressed and you wear that for maybe a month. I pierced my own ear when I was 11 and of course I wasn’t taking care of it cause I didn’t know any better. 25 years later I have 2 piercings in the same lobe and no more keloids.
I have two Monroe piercings and lots of tattoos. They didn’t numb me up so those hurt me. If you have some then you know how that feels. So in comparison, when they numbed my ear, I didn’t feel a thing.
My piercer told me to wait for 8months for complete healing of my nose piercing before changing to a nose ring , I'm just 2months gone no issues nor bumps and it's healing smoothly 🥰 .... waiting till April to change ✌
Im only just watching this video but as a careless teenager im happy to say i got a double helix piercing and ive managed to take good care of it without knowing. ive never gotten a bump or an infection!! this video will help heaps if i ever do!!
For keloids: Dr. Pimple Popper has some keloid removal videos on her channel FYI. But from what I saw they have to be large enough for a large gage needle to be pushed into the bump where the needle gets cooled down for it to sorta freeze off (TL;dr) the keloid. A dermatologist would be my first go to for information on keloid. Dr. Pimple Popper does break into how some people are just more prone to them and the science to how they form in the removal video. (I would assume with the advancement of heat and mass transfer and finding more efficient liquids this would advance the medical side of things where they could create a small enough needle that could be used in smaller keloids, or it already is a thing but we only see the large keloids get removed that interfere with peoples lives.)
Wish I had this video back in 2008 when I got my nasal piercing. I ended up removing it but my septum’s going 14 yrs strong lol! Thanks for making such a helpful video! 🙏🏼🖤
My piercer gave me the option of ring or stud for my nose, so naturally I went with ring and got a bump not knowing any of this. And the best bit of advice I have gotten is also why he said, wash it and leave it alone!
I don't know how you do it, but I have to say, that the bumps on industrial piercings would be less if the piercers outside of germany would use only one needle for both holes. That creates a line in the right angle without warping it around and irritating the wounds too much. And if everything is held as clean and desinfected as possible, it's no problem using one needle for it.
I used the no pull piercing discs to heal my industrial and daith. Someone also recommended for me to use a travel pillow (since it’s almost like a donut with a hole in the middle) so I wasn’t sleeping on my ear. It was the perfect trick!!!
Yup! I switched to a ring way too soon because I work in healthcare and my mask was really creating a problem. It did get a keloid bump and continually spray saline on it. It’s mostly gone, but it was painful. My other nostril piercing was no problem at all. My dermal was good too. So I appreciate your advice. Thank you 😊
I got a helix ring put in a few years ago, and the guy doing it warned me, "Everybody screws up their first cartilage piercing." Man, I was so determined to prove him wrong!! I took the best care of it! I kept it nice and clean, and even only slept on my other side for months, even though it's not what I was used to.... Unfortunately I seeing someone at the time that was an absolute idiot and was always rough housing with me, pulling and pushing me around, even when I didn't want to, and he often tugged or smacked my still healing piercing. After a while I started to notice the bump forming and kinda hoped it would eventually go down, but I came to terms that it was probably just scarring from the irritation that moron caused me. Years later I guess the piercing itself never actually healed? I got a new position at work that had me working weekends, but I couldn't wear jewelry, so I had to take the helix ring out. Went to put it back in Monday morning and it had already closed up in just two days!? It was rather disappointing... but I guess that just means I get a chance to try again and hopefully do it right this time! ^_^
I've gotten piercing bumps in pretty much all of my ear cartilage piercings (I'm a side sleeper oops) and they've all gone away. With proper care and JUST SALINE they've gone away within a couple of weeks.
It drives me nuts when all these girls at school with nose piercings complain about their hypertrophic scars when they keep messing with them with dirty hands..
Definitely gonna try the emu oil for my nose piercings, they both have bumps because my piercer gave me bars too long. Changed the jewelry and it's a lot better but still irritated. The oil looks promising!
I came across this video a couple of weeks ago and purchased the recommended emu oil. I purchased mine from Amazon. I haven’t even used it for a full week yet and already it has worked wonders for the irritation bump on my helix piercing. I accidentally hit it a few months ago and that’s when the bump showed up but it’s finally shrinking and the soreness has decreased significantly. My body doesn’t heal quickly - my first lobe piercing took 6-8 months to fully heal so it make take another year or so for this helix to heal. I’m grateful for the aftercare guidance that you’ve provided in your videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
Try to figure out the root cause of the irritation. Do you have a quality piece of jewelry in there? Was it done by a professional. Are you sleeping on it or catching it on towels. Depending on which piercing you most likely should have a stud in there not a ring. So many factors. Good luck.
@@PiercingWithScott I downside the piercing so it would be the perfect size. I make sure not to sleep on it. It's 6 months old so the piercing itself is healed it's just the bump by it. I probably got it from changing it to soon. It's my earlobe.
This is great advice. I have 25 piercings (and not even close to stopping). I’ve never had a bump on any of them and I have all the piercings you talk about. My piercer calls me a unicorn 🦄 as I can heal anything…. I also have the most amazing piercer.
how’d you never get keloids? i wanna another ear pierce but my friend made me paranoid about keloids and i’ll probably get a keloid cuz of my piercer that pierced my nose with a hoop and it got infected which is my fault & ig ur not supposed to use a hoop. but hes a really good piercer i hear everyone goes to him so idk. any tips?
@@shaymarie3145 the best advice is don’t knock them, trauma is why most peoples piercings don’t heal. Do some research into the piercers in your area and make sure they use top quality equipment and jewellery. And my personal advice…… invest in some u shaped neck/travel pillows. (Your fresh piercing goes in the “hole” and you still have a pillow for the rest of your head).
I have issues getting keloids from back and chest acne. i’ve been in the process of getting them “removed” and surgery isn’t an option for me because it would take out too much of my skin tissue. because of this, the only “solution” is to get them injected with steroids, since steroids injected in the skin will normally create an indent. i’ve had straight up cortisone injections that didn’t work, chemo-cortisone injections that didn’t work and hurt like hell, and finally found that what works best for me is using local anesthetic and then cortisone since it’s supposed to limit blood flow to the area. this has definitely worked with some of my keloids to make them flat, but others are very stubborn. I am currently healing a septum piercing (against my dermatologist’s recommendation) and avoiding getting all cartilage piercings. i thought it was uncommon for people to get bumps on septums, but i do have one currently that comes and goes, so hopefully i’ll be able to heal it and it won’t turn into a keloid.
Yes I also have a few keloids from back and chest acne and I was worried that I would get keloids on my industrial piercing...lol...probably a risky one..but the swelling that comes and goes is just hypertrophic scarring which goes away with a hot compress and regular cleaning. :)
EMO OIL SAVED MY NAVAL BUMP!!!! Been using it for 5 days and I can see a HUGE improvement. My bump was too bad to begin with but this oil has made it almost nonexistent in only 5 days! 3x a day after cleaning it!!! Thank you!
I know this video’s a bit old but thank you for making it! I feel a lot better after seeing this, I’ve had my double conch piercing for 2 months now and haven’t had any issues until about 3 or 4 days ago when I found a bump by one of them. I think I slept on it, thank you for the ideas to help treat it!!
In regards to keloids, I'm both a sufferer of keloid scarring, and I'm also a body piercer, I have Ehlers danlos syndrome which makes me more prone to them, The way I personally avoid them, is actually reducing the frequency of cleaning my piercings, and allowing the tissue to do it's own thing in its own time, I will clean my piercings ONLY after I have a warm shower, and I don't spray the aftercare on my piercings, I spray it on a cotton bud and gently wipe off any excess only if it's already gooey, I let the lymphatic fluid sit on the bars otherwise, I get pierced with the smallest bars that I can with swelling (I start off with 14 gauge 10mms lengths in my lips) to prevent the fluid from being ripped through the fresh holes, and emu oil/vitamin E oil is my saving grace once the piercing stops it's irritation (whether that's the 3 months on cartilage, or the 2 weeks on lips, whatever it is until you would technically be ready to downsize) I use the oil in the same way as removing cartilage bumps maybe once a week until the piercing is healed. I have healed now, not only a bunch of lip piercings, but a standard industrial, conch, and both sides of my nose, septum, and nipples as well now! The only thing that I would like to mention with this, is due to whatever condition is making these keloids how they do, when the fistula fully forms for me, they never close. I didn't wear my industrial for a full 6 months, and the holes remained open, I had my septum out for 2 years and it stayed, so if you're prone to keloids and look after it this way, the chances of your hole closing if you keep the jewellery in for a while, are super slim, so if you might change your mind about a piercing, I wouldn't recommend getting it because that bitch is staying unless you use a taper to widen the piercing and then wear nothing (bless microtears) . I also have my ears stretched in my first and 2nd earlobe piercings, and I don't size up until the jewellery FULLY is relaxed inside it, meaning I wait about 4 months between sizes despite wearing double flares which fit easily I also will not change my piercings for about 1.5 times the recommended healing time, e.g: I wait 3-4 months for lobes, and a full 5 for lip ones, 2 years before my industrial, but having the lowest possible size makes that a bit easier, I baby the shit out of my piercings, and have had an easier healings time with blade needles than with tri-beveled, unsure as to why that is though
I'm prone to keloids when I hurt myself and get a wound on some parts of my body, but NOT when I get piercings, never had a bump(knock on wood hoping I never get one either). But I've had keloids removed before and it is a PROCESS involving needles and cortisone patches.
Just got my industrial repierced after it was done SO incorrectly the first time 4 years prior. I noticed a lot of excuses swelling within the first 24 hours, and, knowing my body and how my piercings usually heal, i knew something was up. I wasnt sleeping on it, touching it, over cleaning, ect. My jewelry was titanium, the whole 9 yards. My common sense told me to go to my piercer. The first thing he told me to do was an aspirin paste. Of course, the aspirin made everything ten times worse. I started using tea tree oil like i normally do, and its already starting to shrink. Morale is: just because someone is a "professional", doesnt mean they always know what they're doing. After watching this, i realized my keloid was probably from it being pierced improperly to begin with. Thank you for the help
I had sooooo many problems when I changed my L shaped piercing to a hoop. My hoop kept getting hit, and it caused the bump. I thought it was infected but it wasn’t 😭 soon as a changed it back, I had so much relief
@@taylikespandasxx2953 did you just get it pierced or have you had it for a while and then changed it? If you just had it done, you really should have a straight bar in so it heals straight. If it’s been a while, you’ll be fine.
I’ve over cleaned a piercing and gotten a bump, and a second time my piercer (who I’ve since left) gave me a very high salt content saline recipe and when I went back to the shop a different piercer informed me and gave me a proper paper with directions I hadn’t gotten the first time.
This helped. I got a nose piercing that I thought would be cute, and it got infected. Took it out yesterday because the piercer didn't do it right. I am happy I got the right information before I tried anymore "remedies." As in more saline, etc. Thanks!
This video is actually super reassuring! I got a helix piercing and while I waited the amount of healing time my piercer said to, I changed my piercing out to a prettier but more uncomfortable one and started developing a bump, and I didn't know what it was. No matter what I did it wouldn't go away, until I find just put my original piercing back in that was less irritating. Month or so and the bump went away! Wish I had seen this video way back then!! The more you know I guess😆 Glad to know it's not just an anomaly and it's something I can actually do something about in the future
I got a new nostril piercing about 3 months ago. I’ve snagged and hit a few times and I touch my face often so I figured that’s what mine was. This video was super helpful in understanding the reasons. Thank you!
I had wet and got my triple helix piercied, all 3 at once 5 years ago. Mine had got a really big bump on the middle one. I had this bump for around a year. I called it my meatball 😅 and every time i would go see my piercer she would ask how my meatball was doing. We were unsure of what actually caused this bump so i ended up going to my doctor. The doctor looked at it and squished it. She said it was not a keloid scar because it was too soft. She prescribed me cortisone cream and my bump was gone in 2 weeks and has never come back.
So frustrating, i went qnd got my firat professional piercing done and the guy didnt give me any information. i had to ask for infomation on aftercare dispite having already done research because i wanted in person advice and direction he gave me a print out that was lacking, i have 4 other piercings that i got when i was younger that i havent had any issues with until getting my new piercings. Now im having bumps that im concerned are keloids and im just glad that scott posts all of the infomatiom he has, im going to be getting some different jewelry with shorter posts to try and help bring donw irriation, in just really glad theres people like scott out their sharing all their knowledge and bringing every topic up as personally it's helped me feel like my piercing problems are a little less scary ❤
I’m so glad I came across this video, I have all of these piercings and more! only have bumps on my nose and industrial. The one on my nose is cause I caught it on a towel and my two little siblings are curious. Industrial bump is definitely sleep. I toss and turn so much in my sleep it’s crazy. Please be careful everyone 🤗🙏🏼
As someone who had absolutely no experience with piercings (other than ear lobes) I am completely floored that it’s been almost an entire year of me having a nostril piercing that was IMMEDIATELY a hoop. I never even had a stud since day one. And yet, I had no bumps, irritation or troubles with this piercing. My lobe piercings were harder to manage than my nostril. Did I just get incredibly lucky? Why was I even given the option to immediately wear a hoop?
My son had an injury to his ear/earring from jumping on the trampoline. He developed a large keloid scar. I took him to a plastic surgeon and he was able to remove it in the office and you can't even tell there was ever an issue. That was over 20 years ago.
I'm doing a double nose piercings today on myself . Your video has given me some valuable information to help prepare me this go round . I have experienced piercings bumps on my nose before and didn't know how to properly take care of them and just ended up removing my piercing. This time I'm prepared . I have tea tree oil and Neilmed: piercing aftercare fine mist . I'm ready !!
When in comes to keloids DMSO might help. I've never gotten any keloids and i have over 20 piercings but i'm born, raised and now work with horses i have fair amount of scars and using DMSO at least 2 times a days got read of alot of them. Although it is a long proces for old scars and you have to be patient, i mean keloid is a scar tissue so theoretically it should help. But before you jump on using DMSO few bhp points: 1. NEVER use DMSO with anyting else but glass, HDPE or at least stainless steel. Only use it on fully metal jewellery like steel or titanium without acrylic or any other bioplast or artificial comonents, zircon is ok, its a glass. 2. DMSO is a powerfull solvant that penetrates to the bone in about 4 min therefore if u use it on dirty surface or cleansed with chemicals [like any soap with SLS] it will introduce it all into the bloodstream. So if you want to use it wash the area with gray soap, rinse with fresh water or saline if its and open wound. 3. Buy only one with 99,9% purity and dilute it with saline. Everyones tolerance is different. I often use even 90% but my tolerance is very high. Best way is to make few different solutions, i have 90%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 10%. I use all of them dependently on how sensitive my skin is in given area and how many times a day i use it. 4. DMSO is also natural painkiller and anti-inflammatory. It reduces swelling and if you mix it with other remedies it will introduce them deep into the tissue. 5. DMSO drastically increases collagen production and cell regeneration so it will also increase speed at which your piercing is healing and any wound for that matter leaving little or no scar. Collagen production is increased so much that you'll scab all over but its a little prive to pay. If it dries skin to much either use more diluted solution or use FULLY natural body butter or cream to misturise it. !!! BEFORE USING DMSO buy a book about it by Hartmut P.A. Fischer, he's been worlking with DMSO for decades now and is most likely the most knowlegable person about this substance in the world. DMSO is wonderfull substance and is no 1 in my first aid kit. I've been also using it on my piercings for years but it CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS if used without proper knowledge hance if you want to try it BUY THE BOOK! If any1 with keloids try this pls let me know if DMSO helps or not. Remember that given keloid are often quite large you need to use it every day for months, best few time a day. It will also take longer the older the keloid is.
I had little bumps on my nipple piercings because the bar was too short, went to your shop and one of your lovely employees changed them to longer barbells and they’re much better now!
I got my nostril bump when I first got my nose ring I was trying everything to get rid of it. I don't know when but finally it went away. I wished this video was out when I got it. Thanks for posting this video!
i’ve been so worried about my double nose piercing i got and this helped so much! i got a bad cold two weeks after getting them pierced and they both have really big bumps that have been so embarrassing to deal with. i just ordered some emu oil from the site you recommended and i’m really looking forward to getting the irritation down
@@moonlight6250 the emu oil didn’t help at all so i ended up doing salt soaks for seven minutes and that completely got them to go away. I soak my nose in a cup of hot water with non-iodized sea salt for seven minutes straight and then pack on some wet salt on the little bumps and sleep with it on. it took a week and a half and now my nose looks normal again!
Ugh that’s what I’m going through rn.. I had my nose pierced twice one on each side, and I’ve been trying to make the bumps go away for weeks. 😓 and they are soo embarrassing.. I’m going to try what you did and hope it works 🤞
When I got my second piercings done on my earlobes I used my airplane pillow to lay on. I now know that anything more done on my ears and that’s the way I’m going.
I have keloid skin. They're able to be removed by a dermatologist or at an Ear Nose And Throat medical office. There is hope and ways to enjoy your piercings. Not all will turn into a keloid if done and treated properly. For some they're not so fortunate. Peace and love!! Great info!! ❤❤
Thank you for this - I feel a lot more confident about going ahead to get my first nostril piercing now! I have a mole on one side of my nose that people have mistaken as a piercing keloid, so I've been worried about ending up with an actual one on the other side of my nose. But you're right, I'm very accident prone and have never ever developed a true keloid. Also my glasses do slide down my face, so I'll opt for a tiny/flat stud that will not touch the frames when they slide (and also wear contacts more during the day) to avoid irritation bumps.
I had this exact same bump for over a year after my nose piercing. A girl stopped me in primark and reccomended I use savlon healing cream and it actually worked. Bump completely gone and skin colour back to normal. Cant get it over the counter in the UK anymore only the gel. Tried it on my xtina piercing and it didn't work. Alka seltzer tablets and saline, made into a thick paste, left on overnight, works a charm too. Hope this helps somebody.
I got a nose piercing and at 4 weeks when I was due to size down to a smaller post, I got a bad head cold and was congested and blowing my nose for several days. A gross bump formed right away and has not gone away for two weeks now. I was worried my piercer wouldn't size down while it's like this, but it sounds like that's exactly what I need. My post is definitely too long. Every time I sniffle, it pops out and it's constantly snagging on everything. I'm calling the shop today. Thanks for this!!
I changed my nostril stud to a hoop in 3 months and had no issues. However, it was one of those open rings with the stopper sitting inside the nostril. Never had any problems with it the 2 months I kept it in. I switched to a segment clicker ring at 5 months (bc I just wanted something more secure) and now I have a bump -_- whyyyyyy Both rings were from the same website, and both titanium.
I really hope you see this 🙏 I have a bump on my nose that I would love to try to use emu oil on, but I don't want to get a fake brand. What brand do you recommend to your clients?
I waited for exactly a year before changing to a ring for my nostril........a week later...BUMP!🤣🤣🤣🤣 it went away...got a cold...BUMP! Now I am patiently waiting for it to go cleaning and lovin it😎 Thanks for the tips!
I have my belly & nose pierced. Belly: The healing process was amazing, no issues & no pain when I got it done. Nose: I did have a small bump underneath it cause it is a harder piercing to clean however it's okay now, still currently healing but there's no irritation and seems perfectly fine. :)
