Man I was so scared and angry at myself if I got a keloid around my nose piercing. Especially since it’s been almost a year since I’ve had it and no major stuff up.
Did the salt water saline solution yesterday and today but in what I won’t describe because it’s gross enough, might’ve just been a pimple or something. Which I’m thankful for, but I guess good news.
Put a band-aid over my nose and it seems to have gone down. Yay for me!
Ooft. I got both nostrils done at the same time recently. One went south and the other didn’t. The folk at the piercing shop in st kilda were awesome though, sold me antibiotic cream which was three times a day for four weeks!! But keloid looked liked it might form and now, they’re both almost fully healed. Ears next. I’m in 2nd puberty so getting all my old piercings I had in the 90s re-done as a revisit to my youth and a new start. Might not do the centre bottom lip though, it was kinda annoying.
Was super weird because it’s been a bit tender due to having to re-pierce it a couple of months ago (my stud fell out and couldn’t get it back in, went to my piercing place who had to re-pierce it because for some reason anything with a curve just couldn’t go in except for a straight bar that I stuck in the hole so it wouldn’t close up on me until I went to the piercer). Changed it to a ring maybe a month ago and so it was still tender a bit, but it was fine, I was playing with it a lot. But I reckon I must’ve accidentally bumped my nose, or played with it too much for it to develop a pimple or an infection of some kind.
But the warm salt water saline solution seemed to accidentally pop the thing and yeah, like I said seems to have gone down.
Ooo fun, I’ve been wanting a nose piercing ever since I was 18 but had always been chicken shit (and poor) to get them so I finally got one last year. I’m just wearing and acting like the emo/punk kid 12 y/o me wanted to be. But I don’t think I’ll get the snake bite piercings they wanted, they look cool but they seem like they’d just get in the way.
hahah, yeah I played with my lip ring with my teeth all the time… It grossed people out, which was good at the time. I’m more reserved these days. My septum never healed over though, and I’ve worn it on and off over the years. So now I have three. I thought it would be not common, but it is which is fine. I tried to be “normal” for a while but I am not being neurodivergent and gender incongruent so I may as well lean into it all bit.

Lol I did same in the 90s. I did them all myself. What a strange little era that was.
