Nose Piercing Problems

So I had my nose pierced but kept getting the allergic reaction nose bump even after trying 4 different metals. the piercer said the nose cartilage is extreme sensitive and easily has allergic reactions. I have my ears pierced with no problems.

so my question is is I decide to get other piercings (lip, belly button) do you think I'll have adverse reactions like with my nose??

I also had a nose bump and was worried I was allergic to the metal I was using. I don't know if you've already taken your nose piercing out, but if not try soaking it in salt water. Within a week the bump will be gone. Sometimes it will come back, but will go away if you just repeat the process (this has worked for me a few times)

Yeah my belly ring took about a year and a half to finally completely heal and stop getting randomly sore. Just make sure you're properly cleaning your piercing and not playing with It, perhaps you're not allergic at all. If you get s bump you can apply a seeped chamomile tea bag to the bump every night and it will heal :)

If it keeps coming back I'd be a little more cautious with other piercings

I also agree with jaden, I used that process & also used dial soap & it went away.
My belly piercing did not do that I used the salt water method & it healed very fast. Way faster than a year and a half anyway

For all my piercings if they got a bump I used sea salt like jaden. The bump would come back. My piercer told me to use contact solution and it went away.

Find a non reactive metal nose stud or ring. Like Harlyn suggested. Clean it often and don't fiddle! I had to take mine out for work and after months of it constantly getting infected I gave up and now have a nasty ass scar on my nose that looks like a spot 😒 my best advice to you would be clean it with sterile saline solution e.g contact solution and don't fiddle with it or change it until it is healed as it can scar very easily as I found out. Good luck girly 😘
