Do you like to get a little nasty? Do you like body art and piercings? Well, more and more people are taking the drastic step of getting their nose pierced. It is becoming almost mainstream in the US, although it has been a religious rite in Africa for centuries.
If you can't be dissuaded, you should at least take steps to make sure that your nose piercing heals properly. Let's discuss how you can do that.
Your first stop should be at the doctor's. Your doctor will tell you if a nose piercing is right for you health-wise. You don't want to get sick and if you're not in good health, a piercing can lead to severe complications. Get your doctor's advice before proceeding.
Be vigilant about cleanliness. Always clean your nose and jewelry twice a day. After your nose is pierced you should apply antiseptic frequently throughout the day. Also, remove any blood or ooze that may crust up your nose or jewelry.
When you're cleaning your nose use warm salt water and cotton balls. Hydrogen peroxide is advised against since it can be abrasive. If you have your nose jewelry in, don't play with it. It's gross to see people with their fingers in and around their nose. Plus, your nose will not heal well if you are fiddling with it. Keep your hands away from it, for everyone's sake.
When you have your nose jewelry in, leave it alone. Don't play with it or it may not heal properly. Plus, it's kind of gross to see someone playing with and putting their fingers in their nose.
Keep your hands off your nose ring unless you're cleaning it. Touching it too often can lead to awful infections that are painful and ugly to see. If you pull on your jewelry you can also cause it to tear the skin and cause bleeding. This is not something you want to happen.
If you get a piercing be aware that it may make your skin swell. If this happens don't sweat it. It's not uncommon. Just see your doctor to make sure it's not infected. In the worst case scenario, you'll just have to remove the silly piercing, let it heal and chalk it up to experience.
