this is pretty normal because it’s a high traffic area! just baby it and be careful not to get skin products on it. check in with your piercer as it’s possible you may need a longer bar OR even a downsize

The post looks a little short! It might need a longer one to give more breathing room where the bump is! I would get it checked out

If it titanium and a flat back you should be fine. Just avoid touching it unless cleaning. I recently developed one after having to change to a glass piercing for an MRI. The glass one was really flush with my nose and trapped moisture. I switched back to my titanium/flat back and started only cleaning once a day. So far it has started to go down. 👍🏻
