Thanks. If the bump doesn’t go I’ll just take it out. Studs are a pain in the ass!!!!I’ve had my nose pierced for over 10 years, I started with a stud and they pierced it with that. After about 1 year, I switched to a ring. I could never go back to a stud, it looks awful on mebut they insisted I had to let it heal with a stud first
Try Prontolind spray, I've had similar issues and the spray cleared it right upI’ve had my nose pierced for two years. First I had two studs that kept falling out, each time they fell out I felt really sad, then I went to someone different who used a ring. I bloody love my nose ring sooo much as it’s so not like me to have something pierced and it really suits me. The only thing is I have a lump on the hole, it changes in size if I knock it in my sleep for example it will get slightly bigger but eventually shrink a bit but it has never disappeared. I don’t think it is a keloid.
Anyone else have this? Will this eventually go?
Have you tried both types of stud back? The twisty one and the L shape? Failing that, maybe some good old hydrogen peroxide for a while.Thanks. If the bump doesn’t go I’ll just take it out. Studs are a pain in the ass!!!!
You might have been wearing the wrong kind of stud (wrong shape, size, metal). Studs stay in place while rings move and irritate the fresh piercing. I know it’s annoying because rings look cooler in most piercings, but the only two types of piercings that are initially pierced with a hoop/ring are septum and daith. Wearing the wrong kind of jewellery can prolong the healing process, lead to piercing bumps and rejection. There is a good piercing subreddit on Reddit if you want more info.Nooooo studs just don’t stay in my nose & I had a bump with them as well. I did think it was weird how the original piercer insisted on studs only to start with then another piercer said rings are fine
Ooh thank you I’ll have a lookTry Prontolind spray, I've had similar issues and the spray cleared it right up
Thanks, I think I’ve been on Reddit. I have read so much about them. I had the L shaped stud and could not get them back in once it came outYou might have been wearing the wrong kind of stud (wrong shape, size, metal).

I would take it out, it will close up quickly and then can be repierced at a later date. Did you got to a piercer or somewhere with a gun? It is likely he went upwards to avoid the original hole. It shouldn't effect her putting earrings in but if it is swollen it might be infected, is there any gunk coming off it?Hi, just looking for some advice/experience of an issue with my daughter's ear piercing.
She had her first lobe piercings done just over a month ago. I noticed that one of them was not straight, it angled downwards at the back, quite far that you could almost see the back of the earring. I took her back to the piercer for advice and he said you could just leave it or, re-pierce it to straighten it up.
We let him re-pierce it so went through the same hole at the front to make a new hole at the back. Her ear is now quite sore and swollen, and having looked at it closely, the back of the earring now looks too high!
It is angled upwards from the front, not as badly as the angle the first time but still! She doesn't want it touched or to do anything with it. I asked her if we could go to a different shop just to ask their advice but she doesn't want to. It is still swollen and I know that can distort the angle too so I am thinking perhaps it will straighten itself out?
All the googling seems to suggest it is taken out and re-pierced again, but she really doesn't want to. I guess I'm asking if it will matter in the long run if it heals at this wonky angle? If we leave it, is she going to have problems with the hole, or problems putting earrings in in the future?
Thanks for reading all that!
Yeah, we went to a piercer at a tattoo place. It isn't red or gunky, just quite swollen still, I'm guessing because of the piercer fiddling with it and re-piercing. She really just wants it left alone though... I think the whole experience has traumatised her! If it is left as it is, will it heal OK do you think?I would take it out, it will close up quickly and then can be repierced at a later date. Did you got to a piercer or somewhere with a gun?

It should do, lobes are pretty easy going. I would cleanse twice a day and ice it, perhaps an anti-inflammatory if she can take one. It might be a little off center but that isn't the end of the world, I have one with a high back and it is fine. If she is really unhappy with it, lobes do close up after a while so she could always do that.Yeah, we went to a piercer at a tattoo place.

OK, great, thanks. From the front it looks fine, I just didn't want problems down the line. Thanks for your replies, I feel so much better now.

Prontolind spray on Amazon can really help healing alongOK, great, thanks. From the front it looks fine, I just didn't want problems down the line. Thanks for your replies, I feel so much better now. I've been having anxiety dreams about ear piercings!!
I’d leave it for now and do the above in terms of aiding the healing/swelling.OK, great, thanks. From the front it looks fine, I just didn't want problems down the line. Thanks for your replies, I feel so much better now. I've been having anxiety dreams about ear piercings!!
So glad ye got sorted. I hope it's all plain sailing from here on in.Well, it all went wrong! Woke up this morning and the front had healed over the ball!! It happened so quick as it was visible when she went to bed! She was in real pain and panicking. Ended up taking her to another piercer who was sooooo lovely and calm and sorted it all out for us. She said the angle wasn't too much of an issue, but the actual earring was too short and so didn't allow room for swelling. She changed both earrings for longer ones and was so calm and reassuring.
I thought I'd done all my research and went to a proper piercer, with good reviews... I guess we were just unlucky!
