Nose Piercing aftercare help?

Question

Hey I just got my nose pierced this past Monday! On Wed. I had to take the stud out to replace it with a smaller stud. I clean it all the time and use sea salt to cleanse it too. My question is it normal for it to be red? There is no puss coming out. It did fall out bc it got caught on the q-tip so I had to put it back in. I don't have any tea tree oil but I do have lavender should I use that and how? My nose hurts a bit. Is there such a thing as to cleaning it too much? Thanks so much

It will probably be sore to the touch and a little red for at least a week. Slow down on the cleaning. You only need to do sea salt soaks twice a day, and that's it. In most cases, no other after care is needed.


Tea tree oil is generally used on piercings to treat infection and hypotrophic scarring, so you don't need to use this right now.

All you should use to clean it is soap and water
Clean it twice a day and that's it
Don't touch it or anything, just keep it clean
It's perfectly normal for it to be red, but if it looks like it's getting infected you should see a doctor
