Suggestions from Answers.com contributors:
- You can always remove it , and have it re-pierced after the healing takes place.
- However, you don't always want to take out piercings when infected, because that can cause a bigger scar then neccessary. You can go to a doctor, and they'll get you antibiotics. Or, wash it twice daily with an antibacterial soap (dial, unscented), spray bactine on it after cleaning. Also, you can mix a crushed aspirin with a little water to make a paste, leave that on it for a while because that also promotes the healing.
- From a professional body piercer's standpoint, you never remove the jewelry, you don't use Bactine or Aspirin on any piercing, and as for the soap yes use a non scented liquid antibacterial soap diluted with water and lathered up. Wash the piercing twice a day daily till the infection starts to clean and be sure to flush the piercing with plenty of warn running water. Antibiotics are not required unless your Doctor thinks it's needed, lets not misuse antibiotics for every little thing. Infections are because you failed to keep the piercing clean, personal hygiene is very important and piercings must be cleaned daily even when healed and seasoned.

Where? on your nose? yeah but don't go close to the piercing I have,nothing really happens,it's just weird. everywhere else is fine I had make up on my nose when I pierced it. yes, as long as you are careful not to get it inside the piercing. ________________ I did nothing happened. ------------------------- You're not meant to, it could make the piercing infected.
