Did you say you had it done by a gun..? The moral of this story is goto someone proffessional always. Like a tattoo shop. You will have to goto a professional to get it fixed.

I have my nose pierced and I was told the nose bone studs are horriblr becausr they irritate the nose everytime you put them in. I would go to a tattoo shop and get them to look at it. They may be able to cut it out. Until then I would crush some aspirin and mix it with water to form a paste and put it on your nose to keep the irritation down.

I live in the uk so would dettol be any good?... I was going to get it from a tatto shop but then I am scared of needles.

Thank you guys :) I hopefully will be going to a tatto shop to get it looked at. nosebones are the worst. I got an L shape stud but I can only put it in if I get this one out :, (

I don't know what dettol is but asprin is basically just a pain reliever/fever reducer so if it's something like that I think it'll be fine.

I did mine with a earring gun and mine was just fine and it's been about year or so it's just fine
But if you get it out you should let it close up and then use a earring gun then take the earring out after you think its held then but in a nose stud that has just a ball at the end

NEVER let someone use a gun to pierce anything but your ear lobe, and even that is better off done with a needle!
I know you said you did it that way because you're afraid of needles, but the gun actually hurts more!

This is the second time I got it done coz last one got infected... I waited till it was completely healed then got it done again :(... I know I regret it now I should have just gone to a proper professional. but any suggestions I could take it out and calm the spot thingy next to my stud?

Dettol will kill the germs and stuff, put an aspirin paste on it, let that soak in them get some ice on it, numb the heck out of it and then get the stud out. Clean with savlon. x

I got mine with a gun, I had a tiny infection but I have no pain at all anymore, I take it out like once a week to clean it and it's fine to put back in, maybe they didn't pierce it in a good spit.

I can take it out halfway until the larger part comes and it won't budge except give me pain

I got mine done with a gun too at a swapmeet and my piercing is fine. I had trouble taking it out too but all I did was twist it a lot. I don't remember if it hurt but it came out. Them after I got a bubnle ontop of the stud but it common so I googled and youtubed it and I found out about tea tree oil (found at walmart and target) and every since using that my piercing comes in and out, no more bubble and it doesn't hurt whatsoever. You should try it.

I got mine done twice because the first time, I took it out 3 hours laters and it started bleeding and it closed. So I got it done again and almost a year later, its fine thanks to the tea tree oil.

Thank you will try that out :)

Soak I in a mixture of sea salt and water 4teaspoons to a gallon of water warm up some of it put it in a shot glass or something of that sort and put your nose in the solution. It should help with cleaning it it doesn't sound like it's infected but if you believe it is go to a doctor as soon as you can because you don't want the hole of the piercing to close up with an infection in there, if you do get the piercing out.

Crush an aspirin add a tiny bit of water and apply with a cotton bud. x

The first mistake was the gun. No offense, but that was a good way to invite infection. Now I'm no piercer, but from having mine done, I've always had an L stud. They usually keep it a bit longer and clip it after a while when inflammation has subsided. I'm not a fan of nose bones. They hurt. Now, your infection. See a professional piercer, but do sea salt soaks twice a day. If you have a little bump near your piercing, which you probably do by now given how common they are, apply a dab of pure tea tree oil after your sea salt. This sounds drying but this will shrivel up your bump. I speak from experience. Infections aren't fun. Take action now please. This being on your face can leave some scarring and nobody wants that ;)

Thankkkkk you guys I sure will try it out thank you so much. its just so err that it won't come out but I will try the sea salt mix and ice cubes to numb it... pull it out and then add savlon or tea tree oil :)
