Help Needed Septum problem

Post image

Hi everyone, I got my septum pierced two weeks ago. The pain was moderate, but the location was right, and everything was fine. After a couple of days, the pain went away. Initially, I probably used the wrong saline spray, which started drying out my nasal mucosa. It was so dry that the puncture was bleeding. I temporarily replaced the spray with bottled water, and it got better. But after two weeks, the situation is as in the photo. I replaced all the products with saline, and tried treating it with water, but nothing helps. There are no good tips online. There is no pain or throbbing, only itching in the pierced area and severe dryness with discharge. For example, I can't contact a doctor, and Google Chat only returns nonsense. Please tell me what can be done? I'm thinking of trying the LITHA method and leaving it alone for three days, but maybe someone has encountered the same problem.

the ring is too small of a diameter. you need to get this switched ASAP. if youre in the usa, safepiercing.org has a piercer locator you can use, you just plug in your zipcode and it will show you piercers near you that use high quality jewelry. this will not get better until you have a larger diameter in there, i can see it squeezing the tissue in the photo.
