I got my nose pierced back in October with a stud. It had been a month and I had had no problems with it and I really wanted to put in a ring. So I went to a tattoo shop and asked the guy if it would be alright to change the jewelry now and he said it was fine, so I had him change it to a captive bead ring. It was fine, I didn’t have any problems after I changed until about two weeks later I got sick and was blowing my nose. the ring was being all twisted around in there and I developed a bump on the outside. I took antibiotics have been doing sea salt soaks on it and cleaning it with bactine and a month later the bump is still there. i want to change it back to a stud because the ring seems to get bumped around a lot more than the stud did. so should I go back in and have it changed to a stud and go back to a ring later or would that just make it worse? and any advice on how to make the bump go away?
