Help!!! Bump next to nose piercing?!?
http://tinypic.com/r/2h3bnsz/5
I have this bump on my nose piercing. It looks like a pimple, it looks pus-filled and it's pretty small. But I've heard of the dreaded keloid and I'm afraid that's what it might be! Is it?
I got it pierced about a month ago. I clean it everyday with saline solution, except I missed one day 2 days ago. Sometimes when I clean it I accidentally move it.

I've had my nose pierced for the second time 3 months ago and I've never had a bump. But I know a lot of people who have from changing it to early, playing with it, bad quality jewelry, or it could be your bodies way of trying to heal the piercing. The best thing to do is continue to soak it for 5-10 minutes with non iodized sea salt. You could also use H2Ocean spray and I've heard tea tree oil works great for the bump. There are plenty of videos on YouTube to help with the bump. Good luck! http://youtu.be/3-5SgQlwgV8

It's probably a little bit infected which is okay for now, continue cleaning it twice a day and you should twist it (just once not loads) so it doesn't become stuck on position. Savlon cream or tea tree oil could help as well but just saline or salt water is adequate for cleaning.
A keloid scar wouldn't be pus filled it would be a hard lump so I wouldn't worry about that.
Hope that's helpful

Ashley!
It is most likely a keloid!
The best way to fight a keloid is going to be getting an aftercare that sterilizes AND fights inflammation.
I would suggest taking a look at Herbal Sea Aftercare. It has both non-iodized sea salt (for keeping your piercing sterile) and it has chamomile (fights inflammation).
Herbal Sea comes with 30 pre mixes bags and an 8oz jar so it's easy to use. By the end of the 30 days, your piercing should be back to normal and the keloid on it's way OUT!
