Yes but only in the hands of a professional body piercer. You shouldn't do this unless you are using a professional piercing gun, and if you haven't then you should have expected the piercing to be botched in the first place!

If you intend to do it yourself, be aware that unless you use completely sterile equipment, infection is extremely common. Bacteria often enters the piercing (it is a wound after all) and this causes anything from redness and inflamation through to pus seeping from an abcess followed later by scarring of the tissue.

Oh and it can kill you if you get the wrong kind of infection, or have a compromised immune system (i.e. if you had suffered the flu or similar virus beforehand).

For this reason, Answers.com recommends you do not try to do it yourself!

How do you get rid of bump next to my nose piercing.i m having a gold ring.please help i m getting married after 2 months?

I have had my nose pierced three times each time I've had the same thinghappen if its a relatively new piercing you may have to remove it a few weeks before. the sooner the better, other than time (and that varies with every piercing),theres not much more you can do. Remember facial piercings heal fast and you will probably have to repierce later.Word of advice wait a few months before you do the longer the better,or repierce in different site,but not right beside original site.The same thing can happen just due to scar tissue left behind and also risk of infection. Don,t know exactly why,but at least you have some where to start.Best of luck and Congrats on your upcoming wedding(My husband and I just celebrated our 13Th wedding anniversary and have 5 kids).TAKE CARE!
