put polysporin on it. it speeds the healing process, moisturizes, AND keeps it clean

well low_charge February 13 2007, 18:07:37 UTC

i'm hopefully going to get some oral antibiotics for this shit, i'll ask the doc about polysporin. sounds like a good idea though! i'm tired of having uglygrodynose.

Keep up with the sea salt soaks, twice a day for 10 min at a time. If your wearing a ring, I'd suggest maybe chaning it to a nose screw/labret stud for a while. That will probably reduce any pressure that may be on the piercing.

You can go visit my boyfriend at Soul Survivors. He works 5-8 tonight (Tues) and he's back there on Friday at noon.

He doesn't work on wednesday. The soonest you'll be able to catch him is first thing Friday.

i think the oral antibiotics are a good idea if its to the point where salt soaking isn't doing much. Ive had to resort to them for troublesome cartiledge piercings.

Ouch! That doesn't sound like fun, but it DOES remind me I should put mine back in since I've left it out for a week or two.

Fortunately, I've never had that issue. If mine did get infected, I'd just take it out--but I can do that for a couple weeks at a time without it growing over.

I guess that's not much help to you (unless as a last resort--take it out, let it heal, and re-pierce it).

can you pierce through scar tissue? i'm assuming i'll have a scar of some sort...yikes.
