Nose piercing help?!?
Yesterday I had my nose pierced for the third time, the lady that I went to said I should only keep my nose stud in for 4 days and then quickly change it, however when I got it done before from a different place they said I should keep my nose piercing in for at least 6 weeks
I'm really confused, so should I keep my nose stud in for 4 days and change it or for 6 weeks?
p.s I got my nose pierced again because it closed up

Whoever told you to change it after 4 days has absolutely no idea whut they are talking about and I would advise to never go back to them! Hopefully they did your piercing correctly and didnt mess it up. 6 weeks is right, make sure your cleaning it properly 2-3 times a day, and after 6 weeks then you can switch it out.

Where on earth did you go to get this nose piercing?! Nose piercings do not heal until 6 months, and should most definitely not be taken out! You need to clean it 2-3 times a day with rock or sea salt, boiling sterilized water and preferably a cotton bud. Make sure that you dry the piercing after cleaning it, this is vital!

Nose piercings take around 6 months to heal completely and should not be changed until they are fully healed. Make sure you clean it by doing sea salt soaks twice a day for 5-10 minutes each soak with 1/4th of a teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt to 8oz of hot water. I wouldn't trust either place, both gave you incorrect information.

You need to have some sort of stud in your nose at all times for the first few months er so, but you can switch it out and change it once is stops bleeding for feeling super tender. Also, keep it very verry clean>.<
