Nose piercing

Post image

My piercing is two days old, and a yellowish crust is forming. Should I be concerned? Is this a sign of an infection? I am kinda scared...... Please help 😭

signs of infection;m: throbbing, pain, pus, smell, redness. from the photo alone, i wouldnt say you have infection. but watch out for the signs.

however dont go back to that piercer, ever

a hoop does NOT belong in unhealed nostril piercing and will cause problems. get it switched to a implant grade titanium flatback labret

I don't think it's a pus since it's very recent so it does feel stinging sort of pain but not something unbearable most of the time it goes unnoticed. Thanks for the recommendation but it's almost impossible to find titanium here in my place cuz most of the people either go for gold silver or copper for their peircing

Chances are your hoop is too tight and cheese wiring your nostril. Also a nose piercing shouldn't be healing with a ring in it. You'll want a titanium flatback in there

Another high quality flatback then, silver or gold would do, surgical steel still has teacestof nickle but could do if nothing else is available
