Could I still be swelling from the piercing trauma in my nose if I pierced it 2 weeks ago?

Answer by  Molae06 (1467)

Removing the piercing to clean it is irritating it as the jewelry should be left inside for 2 months before taking it out or changing it.

First, if you're constantly touching it... stop! The oils from your skin can cause continued infection. But do clean it with a Q-tip, tissue and the cleanser. The piercing gun is quite traumatic on your skin. Needle is the best, as it removes pierced skin, instead of blasting through it.
