Just wanted to check in and say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I watched your video three weeks ago where you suggested that nose bumps can be happening because we changed out the stud to a ring too early. I got my nose piercing in February 2021, and changed it to a ring in May. I had a reoccurring bump on ever since! I switched back and I can confirm I have had NO bumps at all (touch wood) since I did it. THANK YOU!!! You are amazing!
Hey! I’m in a similar situation you were in lol. I switched my fully healed piercing from a stud to a ring, and now I have a keloid. After u changed back into a stud and let it heal, did you ever try the ring/hoop again? If you did, any bumps occur the second time around?
The way my nostril had a bump for a YEAR to the day!😭 I snagged it on my washcloth and since that day, it got a bump and it would get angry then settle...angry then settle....and then litetally on its anniversary, it settled down and never flared ever again
thank you for the advice - best I have seen... better from someone like you who does this for a profession Eeem-you (how you pronounce it) signed Australia
I wish i would've known that😭 i got my nostril pierced like 2 months before my birthday and i really wanted to have that ring on my birthday. It wasn't fully healed and i went for the ring. I got an horrible inflammation, looking at how much moving space the ring has now, it was so swollen! I treated it with teatree oil and some salt water, the inflammation left 2 months after, the bump stayed another 5months after not doing anything to it, even the ring stayed
I've broken my nose a lot: used to do martial arts and naturally clumsy. Got both nostrils pierced. The left hurt way worse than the right and is still red and sore whereas I can hardly feel the right anymore. I'm worried the left might form a bump. Suggestions?
Hi Scott I have a piercing on my cartilage area. When I saw the bumps on the back of my ear, I immediately took them out. I know my hair has been getting caught in the bulbs and I probably sleep on them. Should I put them back in?
I have a hard time taking my piercing out of my nose, it a hoop im trying to be careful but everytime it either bleeds or it hurts. I had it for about 5months already
Question: I've had my piercing for about 4 months it was fine until I got bumped in the nose, now there is a huge irritated bump BUT it's a ring and was originally piered with a ring (never had a stud) should I take it out and put in a stud?
Hey Scott, so I got my nose pierced a month ago with a right and have the bumb ..is there any way I can just stop moving it and it will heal . I don't have a stud for my nose , what do u think ? Am I a lost cause or is this salvageable?
i never give up on my piercings even when they get bumps i keep taking care of them and eventually they usually go away i will try emu oil thanks for this !
My dad's girlfriend tried to tell me to spin my new piercings. Even after my piercer said not to. 😂 So, yeah. Family and friends will tell you to do so many different things.
How long ago did she get piercings? Seriously, it’s the “best” advice that we were given at the time if you were getting piercings 20+ years ago. We know a lot more about piercings and better aftercare today then we did back then.
When I got my industrial 2 years ago, my parents kept telling me to spin it and I was like no and he always kept insisting until he forgot about it I thought I was the only one 😂
Nobody ever talks about getting a bump when changing to a nose ring too soon! I wish my piercer told me it was too soon for me to wear a ring. She told me 2 months. I know it absolutely caused my bump that proceeded to last on and off for about 3 months. I fought it, eventually I had a fully healed and perfect nostril piercing. It was a horrible experience with that reoccurring bump and it seemed like forever. I wouldn't recommend it. No other youtuber has said this!!! They always say "hey its YOUR fault for snagging it/not washing it!" When that was far from the case for me- when my own piercer did it to me! 😭
That's my problem right now, too! She changed my nostril too soon to a ring and now I have a bump. This sucks so much and she's on hoiiday now. She'll be in the studio next week, so she can take a look at it and I hope it'll be successful like yours, although the process war just annyoing.
My nose ring snatched out in my sleep 2 weeks after I got it because the ring was too long for my nose and soon after i had a bump and I was SO heated 😭. for about 4 months i had it, it popped, and then came back for another 4 months and I used tea tree oil to get rid of it.
i think thats what happened with me. maybe my body just heals slow its been about three months so i switched it and immediately got a bump even tho i never dealt with any issues before that. hopefully it doesnt take a while to go away but imma take good care of it
Everyone told me that industrial piercings were ridiculously hard to heal, but I went through with it anyway and I’m so happy with it. You gotta keep up with aftercare, because when it heals properly and quickly it’ll really make you wanna get another piercing in the future.
Yeah, i didn't know the industrial was a difficult piercing to heal, but I assumed it had a higher degree of difficulty since it is two piercing (at once) the body is trying to heal as well as it's in the cartilage (less blood flow). I kept up on the aftercare, got my bar curved a bit, and downsized when I knew my body would be done swelling and I found it to heal up really nicely. I stopped having healing tenderness around the 1month mark and less so when the bar was downsized.
I heard industrial was the hardest to heal because it makes two holes with a 14 g. needle. Also, having long hair makes it easy for it to get tangled in the piercing and cause irritation/infection. But, it’s the easiest one I’ve had. I just cleaned it with saline for forever, and never slept on that side. I never got an infection or keloid. It’s my favorite one I have.
I've had my industrial for 11 years now. It took 6 years of fighting to get rid of my keloid that developed. Same thing happened when i first got my nose pierced - this nose piercing i couldn't fight anymore as it was embarrassing to have this massive bump that everyone could see smack dab in the middle of my face so i gave up and took it out 😞 i love piercings and would love to get my nose pierced again but I'm terrified and don't think my body will accept anything...
I heard industrial was hard to take care of too. So naturally I went and got it as my first piercing. It was really sore and caught on my glasses sometimes, but swapping it out for a shorter one 6 months later made a huge difference. It’s been 4.5 years. And now I’m here for my nose ring that has caused a bump on the inside of my nose and I’m unsure of how to make it go away.
I once had a boyfriend that would constantly try to fiddle and play with my belly ring whenever we cuddled. I would tell him to stop before it got infected and when it eventually DID he tried to blame the piercer for doing it wrong 🙄 He later got an industrial and had to remove it bc he couldn’t stop touching it 😂
I got bumps on both nostrils. My right one was particularly fussy. Had an 8mm labret in it from the beginning. As soon as 2 months hit and it hadn't had crusties for a few days, I downsized it. After weeks of trying to get rid of the bump, downsizing it made it go away in 5 days. Amazing, truly 😄
So you adjusted ur piercing length and with proper care it disappeared in 5 days? I have a bump on one my of my nostrils, just changed the size today, hopefully it helps.
@@tinaf600 I went to my piercer. I have never used a ring since it is curved and aggravates the fistula as it heals. I started with an 18G 8mm internally threaded flat back stud and switched to a 6mm one and no issues since. I research a lot of my own shit carefully so I was confident that downsizing was appropriate for me.
This is so refreshing to hear! I'm a professional body piercer and my clients always hate me for making them wait 4 months for a nose ring but most of them do be patient and thank me later! Others force them in too soon themselves and end up losing the piercing altogether. We don't say it to spite you! We say it because it's best for you! 😖
@@lilitheq630 if you remove the piercing, the bump will go away as there will no longer be anything agitating it. Sometimes it can take a little while but there are things that will help them go quicker such as Emu Oil like Scott suggests and my personal favourite is chamomile tea bag. They're cheap and very effective. (:
@@rosaarias5277 the way I suggest to my clients is to make the tea as normal, (drink of ditch the tea) remove the tea bag (drain it but not fully, just so it's not dripping every where) and just hold it against your piercing (as hot as you can bare, no need to burn yourself) and keep it there until it goes cold. 2-3 times a day. (:
Hey! I got my nostril pierced last January 2022 and after two months I developed a bump. I’ve tried salt water soaks, jojoba oil, Vitamine e oil, tea tree oil, and as of now a clean spray and polysporin which I have seen small results with. I’ve also got it changed once to titanium. The bump keeps fluctuating in size and I just don’t know what else to do. I’m thinking of getting it changed to a ring soon because my cousin had a bump which was worse than mine and hers went away and she had a ring. What’s your advice?
Hi Scott, loved your video! One of my clients, who is proned to keloids got a huge one on their helix piercing (done in another shop, understood it was not done properly when they told me the piercer had to push the needle 3 times to get through the skin 😨). The treatment that was done, by a professionnal dermatologist of course, was to get this keloid burnt with cold. He let it dry for a couple days and then removed it surgically. I didn't know about this procedure until then and thought it was a good one to share 😊
If you have a persistent piercing bump please see a dermatologist. You don’t have to lose your piercing. I had a cartilage piercing bump that wouldn’t go no matter HOW LONG (I’m talking about months), until I was prescribed topical cortisone for 3 days and honestly it worked like magic.
Not always true, generally if you get rid of the source of the problem and the bump will go away. Bumps don't just show up for no reason. It also says for external use only right on the directions. It could also be the jewelry style, size or polish on it, lifestyle and the soaps, fragrances and chemicals from everyday life, even just touching it can cause those bumps. Again get rid of the source of the problem and the bump will go away.
I got a bump from accidentally pulling my piercing out in my sleep constantly, I tried looking online for any solution to get rid of it but nothing really worked but what did work was putting a bandage on it when I slept so I didn’t pull it out and soaking it twice a day with sea salt water
@@leahj6525 thank you for the suggestion! But gladly mine already went away lol I didn’t really wanna use tea tree oil though because I heard it’s pretty harsh on skin :(
@@leahj6525 mine is an infection I think it just burst today actually and I really want it to go away :( it looks like it’s finally starting to calm down a little but it’s an industrial piercing so it’s a bitch to heal. You think tea tree oil is okay on an infection?
This always happened with my earlobes and esp my cartilage piercings. It's kind of hard not to sleep on it when you inadvertently roll to your side so, alas, they ended up being removed.
Even people who have been pierced for decades fall blunder to this one. I use organic emu oil for healing them or any skin agitation. Its INCREDIBLE. Was able to reset pulled angry dermals as well on my outside wrists a very "high traffic" zone ♡ Its super cheap and a little goes a long way :) A+ to you Scott you really know your craft
@@artedesarializ I personally do not myself. I put one droplet on the bead/top and just use a q tip to lightly clean any extra as it drips around the wound which is goal but don't want a huge mess hehe. Be gentle as it's oil and absorbs well. You don't want to disturb the area too much as it never sets and is so disappointing ♡ I'm healing quite a few surface piercings atm so with the emu oil, occasional bandaids loose for air when snags are more likely and a saline wound wash is what I've used. So far in the clear *knocks on wood* lol
THANK YOU so MUCH for telling us about emu oil! My 2 week old vertical labret is very irritated because the top ball keeps sticking to my lip and pulling, causing an irritation bump. I was told I couldn't use lip balm and my lips have been so dry. I just ordered some emu oil. I'm so excited to be able to moisturize the area! I'll update once I've been using it for a while.
@@gagenewman829 it went great! The oil is very moisturizing. It helped my irritation bump feel so much better and after a week the bump disappeared. :)
@@nick.universe_ that’s dope! I wanted to put a circular barbell in my nostril because it don’t seem that popular of a piercing it’s always for septum piercings changed it after two weeks super impatient and now I gotta bump I’ve been using tea tree oil for a few days and it’s helped some
@@nick.universe_ omg hi, i’ve just ordered some emu oil and it’s just arrived. do i just slap it on as i would like saline solution? (it’s for my nostril)
I had a big bump on the front of my conch for about 5 months (couldn't go in to see my piercer because of covid), it formed after I had a ring put in after about 9 months of healing. I don't know why the piercer who changed my jewelry didn't warn me not to go ahead with the change because she remarked that my conch was still healing after she took the original stud out. I would have gladly waited if she recommended I do so! I had to go back and get the stud put back in and the bump is healing now. I would not go back to this piercer.
I had my conch pierced WITH A RING! When the bump formed I couldn't go to my piercer because of covid! 1 year later I went and showed it to him and he was like "this is an infection. Put hydrogen peroxide 3 times a day for 14 days" I had watched this video and was like "I think we should just put a bar or a stud there. I don't think it's an infection. It doesn't hurt, doesn't leak anything, doesn't smell" and he kept saying it was an infection and if I do those things and it doesn't go away he would have to cut it.... Needless to say I still haven't done anything and won't listen to his advice
Thank you so much for this. It's the best and most informative I've seen on this topic. I've watched tons of videos on how to get rid of a nostril piercing bump, but none ever explain what causes them in the first place, especially w/ a hoop. My piercer pierced me with a hoop and a bump sprung up in a month. Kept it at bay with tea tree oil and exfoliators (as per those other videos) and while the redness and size decreased, it wouldn't go away. After the piercing fully healed, I went to another shop to change it out to a stud. I didn't want to change it myself as to not irritate it further. Apparently the piercer couldn't rotate the ring.and my piercing had almost closed. I now have a stud in until this bump heals, and I'll be attending that second shop for future piercings.
It drives me nuts when all these girls at school with nose piercings complain about their hypertrophic scars when they keep messing with them with dirty hands..
I started my first nostril piercing with a 16g ring and had no problems. I'm sure the credit goes to my piercer (Cat at Koi studio, SLC). I took care of it on a regular schedule (saline on the outside only!) and I stayed conscientious of it. I do a lot of stimming when I'm idle, but it was easy to keep my nostril piercing clean and un-disturbed. I also work in a hot and linty print shop, and it didn't hurt because it was a good piercing job and I kept it clean!
Keloids can be removed. I had one. They numb your ear and use like a scalpel knife and cut it out. Then they give you like a special clamp on ear ring to keep your lobe compressed and you wear that for maybe a month. I pierced my own ear when I was 11 and of course I wasn’t taking care of it cause I didn’t know any better. 25 years later I have 2 piercings in the same lobe and no more keloids.
I have two Monroe piercings and lots of tattoos. They didn’t numb me up so those hurt me. If you have some then you know how that feels. So in comparison, when they numbed my ear, I didn’t feel a thing.
This is a great video. I am almost 36 and have been getting pierced since I was 19. I love the evolution of piercing aftercare and how hoops aren’t used as initial jewelry. It’s amazing I never developed any bumps from the old ways. I have experienced some bumps with more recent piercings and had mixed success with tea tree oil. I’ll definitely give emu oil a try.
I've gotten piercing bumps in pretty much all of my ear cartilage piercings (I'm a side sleeper oops) and they've all gone away. With proper care and JUST SALINE they've gone away within a couple of weeks.
5: 31 Hi! tysm for this video! I have a bump like that so I took the bar out. Now the bump is still there. Do you know if I can pierce it again? or should I just leave it like that just to be safe? thanks in advance
I got a stud about 2 and a half months ago, but the inflammation after the piercing was so intense that my stud basically got pushed into my nose. After only a few days of having the piercing I had to change to a ring and I have had non stop bumps and infections since. Fucking nightmare
thank you for talking about hoops. i got my earlobes pierced and had little knowledge of the difference between healing a stud and healing a hoop, especially with it being my first piercings. the piercer offered me both options as starter jewellery, didn't mention that there would be any difference in healing, and i chose the hoops for aesthetic reasons. they refused to heal even after months and developed bumps despite me being vigilant with cleaning and trying different solutions/fixes, which eventually resulted in me just taking them out cos i was sick of dealing with it. if i try again in the future i know to definitely not go for hoops as starters (and to go to a different piercer who knows not to offer it lol)
earlobes are a very easy heal with studs! i did 3 of my earlobe piercings at home and they have all healed great, way better than my original one that was done with a gun and a hoop.
That piercer did you so dirty with not telling you to not to use hoops. I have 3 lobe piercings on both ears, you have to start with studs and then for like 1-6 months until they are fully healed can you change to hoops.
Started getting one on my bridge from it being the wrong size jewelry plus I was told to spin it to properly clean it. As soon as I saw the bump and what seemed to be a raised migration, I sadly but quickly took it out. It's been about three months since it's been out. I'm gonna give it another go now that I'm more educated.
This is definitely one of the most informative videos on piercings and I’m so glad I found it. I’m looking into getting quite a few this year. Thank you for all of this information.
i have a bump on my nose piercing right now that i got when i changed my stud to a ring after 4 months. i wanted to change it to an l shape stud but i couldn't figure out how to get it in, so i just put the ring in instead. the bump has been there for about a month and its small but not growing anymore and i don't know how to get rid of it :( any advice?
You helped me so much knowing the difference in piercing bumps and Keloids , I did everything you said and my piercing bump went down ALOT. Thankyou so much !
I really hope you see this 🙏 I have a bump on my nose that I would love to try to use emu oil on, but I don't want to get a fake brand. What brand do you recommend to your clients?
For keloids: Dr. Pimple Popper has some keloid removal videos on her channel FYI. But from what I saw they have to be large enough for a large gage needle to be pushed into the bump where the needle gets cooled down for it to sorta freeze off (TL;dr) the keloid. A dermatologist would be my first go to for information on keloid. Dr. Pimple Popper does break into how some people are just more prone to them and the science to how they form in the removal video. (I would assume with the advancement of heat and mass transfer and finding more efficient liquids this would advance the medical side of things where they could create a small enough needle that could be used in smaller keloids, or it already is a thing but we only see the large keloids get removed that interfere with peoples lives.)
I had wet and got my triple helix piercied, all 3 at once 5 years ago. Mine had got a really big bump on the middle one. I had this bump for around a year. I called it my meatball 😅 and every time i would go see my piercer she would ask how my meatball was doing. We were unsure of what actually caused this bump so i ended up going to my doctor. The doctor looked at it and squished it. She said it was not a keloid scar because it was too soft. She prescribed me cortisone cream and my bump was gone in 2 weeks and has never come back.
My mom used to tell me to put mustard oil on my piercings and to keep rotating them ,, well it never turned out well , I finally learned my lesson when I got a double helix , the bumps formed would bleed so much (;´Д`)
Definitely gonna try the emu oil for my nose piercings, they both have bumps because my piercer gave me bars too long. Changed the jewelry and it's a lot better but still irritated. The oil looks promising!
Piercing is a part of my culture and mandatory for women ( Indian aka South Asian here ) Indian generational herb medication. Pure tumeric powder cooked in pure mustard oil apply warm, u just need a spoon full of oil and a pinch of tumeric.also we only wear gold or pure silver to avoid infection. Only for redness and swelling , not for bump. Go to the doctor and remove the piercing.
i wish this video wouldve existed years ago when i was trying to heal my nose piercings. the piercers at the shop i went to kept telling me to clean it with water only, as they thought "chemicals make everything worse". i thought the bumps were my fault for the longest time, any google search would just say to listen to your piercer, but finally i went on an old ass piercing forum and found a recipe for sea salt water and they finally healed up. never going back to that place again, this video is very helpful. the internet has a lot of info on keloids, not a lot on piercing bumps
Hey Scott! I got my tragus pierced in late June this year. And let me tell you, this piercing bump is the best thing that has ever happened to my skin. It led me to finding your video, which convinced me to try emu oil. Not only is the piercing bump GONE, but I used it on the rest of my skin just so I wouldn’t waste the bottle. My skin is clearer than before, healthier, and softer than ever! I have since I upgraded to ostrich oil. Now all of my immediate family is using it lmao. It’s a game changer! Thanks, Scott! 🙌❤️🔥
Wish I had this video back in 2008 when I got my nasal piercing. I ended up removing it but my septum’s going 14 yrs strong lol! Thanks for making such a helpful video! 🙏🏼🖤
I have a nose piercing bump like the first one you showed but much smaller. If I'm understanding this correctly, my L-shaped ring can be too long and causing the bump? I clean it 4x daily
@@MrRomanoLeChauve and drying out the mucus membranes inside the nostril can lead to bacterial infections- I always tell clients once daily inside and twice outside if needed only. And KEEP MAKEUP OFF IT holy shit lol
Been a minute, but do you (Or anyone else for that matter) have any tips on how to get rid of bumps on the INSIDE of my mouth? I have snakebites and I've always had severe oral fixation since I was a kid. I've been cleaning them with salt water and mouth wash but they haven't gone away. It's hard, especially with oral fixation and I always sleep on my side and often on my face. So if you have any tips on how to get rid of these or tips on how to help with oral fixation, anything would help!
Who else is here cause you were drying your face too fast with a towel and have your eyebrow done Edit: RIP my eyebrow piercing (it rejected really bad) 💔
I see sooo many people call a piercing bump a keloid along with more misinformation like spinning the piercing to help it heal. This video was really informative hopefully it helps somebody not make mistakes!
hi! ive just recently got my tragus and daith pierced, they both formed bumps, daith is a very small one and i have that one under control but my tragus formed a bump with pus inside but after using warm water with salt the pus was gone and the bump looked just like the thumbnail picture but as of this week its back filled with pus and hurts to touch. i want to know is it an infection or just a reoccurring inflammation as i did get it snagged on my hair?☹️ also thank you for the product recommendations i will purchase emu oil asap! ♡
I changed my nose Piercing from a stud into a loop After a year, it heeled well everything was fine and as soon i let it changed into a ring i got a bump that just doesn't Go away
I used the no pull piercing discs to heal my industrial and daith. Someone also recommended for me to use a travel pillow (since it’s almost like a donut with a hole in the middle) so I wasn’t sleeping on my ear. It was the perfect trick!!!
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel, this video helped me get rid of my bump after my nose got knocked, thank you so much because of you my nose healed nicely and I've now healed enough that I could swap to a nose ring 💕
I had a small irritation bump on the bottom of my vertical labret from the bar moving around when I spoke ate or drank things because the post was so long since I downsized the bump is mostly gone now and it’s only been 4 days
I have a bump on my nose piercing and I only got it 3 weeks ago. I am going to try the emu oil because if it doesn't start looking better I'm gonna have to take it out :(
Yeah, I’d want to know the answer to this too. I think my L-bar is too long & is adding to my bump issues, but I’m afraid to change it if it isn’t going to help anything. My piercing is 5 mo old now.
Hello! I had an L-shaped ring that I put in after my starter jewelry fell out. I immediately developed a bump that would resolve after using a sea salt/water paste then come back after a day or 2. I wasn't sure if the bump was caused by the jewelry being cheap or the constant movement. I went to the piercer while I had the bump and changed it to a corkscrew. The piercer tried to talk me out of changing the jewelry with the bump but I knew it was caused by the jewelry and would never heal. As soon as I changed the jewelry, I did a few days of the sea salt/water paste overnight and it went away.
When of my friends got her ears pierced w- a gun- w a butterfly backing. The skin grew over it and it got rlly crusty and she had to pick it off. So gross 😬😖
I had sooooo many problems when I changed my L shaped piercing to a hoop. My hoop kept getting hit, and it caused the bump. I thought it was infected but it wasn’t 😭 soon as a changed it back, I had so much relief
@@taylikespandasxx2953 did you just get it pierced or have you had it for a while and then changed it? If you just had it done, you really should have a straight bar in so it heals straight. If it’s been a while, you’ll be fine.
This helped me understand that my nose piercing was not viable. I went to the local tattoo/piercing shop and talked to them about it. The piercer who did my nose piercing didn't pierce it right. Thank you so much for the advice.
I got my nose pierced and started with a hoop, I forgot to clean it one night and woke up with a bump right above the hoop. It looks like there’s fluid in it so I made the mistake of poking it to get the fluid out but not much came out. I’ve been rinse it with saline solution twice a day but it is being stubborn. Is there anything else I can do to heal it?
I'm prone to keloids when I hurt myself and get a wound on some parts of my body, but NOT when I get piercings, never had a bump(knock on wood hoping I never get one either). But I've had keloids removed before and it is a PROCESS involving needles and cortisone patches.
Me: *crushing up aspirin*
Scott: you may have heard of the aspirin method-
Me: already ahead of you
Scott: stay away from it
Me:😳
Aspirin works. Ignore him
Some person on another video said that tat even thought their bump was gone their piercing was literally bleeding
Lmao my piercer literally recommended aspirin. I'm not surprised. It's a bit of a shady place, but it's the only one around
I was the same with my nose piercing lmao, I sadly had to take out that piercing, but I am hopeful of trying again and being extra careful
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just wanted to check in and say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I watched your video three weeks ago where you suggested that nose bumps can be happening because we changed out the stud to a ring too early. I got my nose piercing in February 2021, and changed it to a ring in May. I had a reoccurring bump on ever since! I switched back and I can confirm I have had NO bumps at all (touch wood) since I did it. THANK YOU!!! You are amazing!
6 month update: still bump free!
Hey! I’m in a similar situation you were in lol. I switched my fully healed piercing from a stud to a ring, and now I have a keloid. After u changed back into a stud and let it heal, did you ever try the ring/hoop again? If you did, any bumps occur the second time around?
The way my nostril had a bump for a YEAR to the day!😭 I snagged it on my washcloth and since that day, it got a bump and it would get angry then settle...angry then settle....and then litetally on its anniversary, it settled down and never flared ever again
I wish I watched this before changing my nose piercing to a hoop too soon 😭
Great video!!!!!! Definitely came in clutch!
thank you for the advice - best I have seen... better from someone like you who does this for a profession

For my ears, I have my helix, Lobe, and Upper Lobe. Face wise, I did my eyebrow piercing too so I want be more educated on taking better care of them.
I wish i would've known that😭 i got my nostril pierced like 2 months before my birthday and i really wanted to have that ring on my birthday. It wasn't fully healed and i went for the ring. I got an horrible inflammation, looking at how much moving space the ring has now, it was so swollen!
I treated it with teatree oil and some salt water, the inflammation left 2 months after, the bump stayed another 5months after not doing anything to it, even the ring stayed
About the keloids. They are a skin condition and if you have them see a dermatologist
I'd love to be able to send a pic of my eyebrow piercing to get your opinion if it's infected. Is this possible.?? Do you except pics?
I've broken my nose a lot: used to do martial arts and naturally clumsy. Got both nostrils pierced. The left hurt way worse than the right and is still red and sore whereas I can hardly feel the right anymore. I'm worried the left might form a bump. Suggestions?

Question: I've had my piercing for about 4 months it was fine until I got bumped in the nose, now there is a huge irritated bump BUT it's a ring and was originally piered with a ring (never had a stud) should I take it out and put in a stud?
Hey Scott, so I got my nose pierced a month ago with a right and have the bumb ..is there any way I can just stop moving it and it will heal . I don't have a stud for my nose , what do u think ? Am I a lost cause or is this salvageable?
With the nose piercing I have to wear a mask at work, every time I take my mask off I feel it catching onto my piercing!
i never give up on my piercings even when they get bumps i keep taking care of them and eventually they usually go away i will try emu oil thanks for this !
Where did u buy emu oil
My dad's girlfriend tried to tell me to spin my new piercings. Even after my piercer said not to. 😂 So, yeah. Family and friends will tell you to do so many different things.
different things based on shitty advice lol
It's just outdated advice
How long ago did she get piercings? Seriously, it’s the “best” advice that we were given at the time if you were getting piercings 20+ years ago. We know a lot more about piercings and better aftercare today then we did back then.
When I got my industrial 2 years ago, my parents kept telling me to spin it and I was like no and he always kept insisting until he forgot about it
I thought I was the only one 😂
Right as soon as I got my tragus pierced my aunt was like you have to spin it to make it heal after my piercer was like DONT SPIN IT
Rough timing but here you go 🥴

Thank you so much
Thank you for this!
Thank youuu!!
ah thank you
Thx!
Nobody ever talks about getting a bump when changing to a nose ring too soon! I wish my piercer told me it was too soon for me to wear a ring. She told me 2 months. I know it absolutely caused my bump that proceeded to last on and off for about 3 months. I fought it, eventually I had a fully healed and perfect nostril piercing. It was a horrible experience with that reoccurring bump and it seemed like forever. I wouldn't recommend it. No other youtuber has said this!!! They always say "hey its YOUR fault for snagging it/not washing it!" When that was far from the case for me- when my own piercer did it to me! 😭
omg sameeeee
complain to a cooperate if there is one
That's my problem right now, too! She changed my nostril too soon to a ring and now I have a bump. This sucks so much and she's on hoiiday now. She'll be in the studio next week, so she can take a look at it and I hope it'll be successful like yours, although the process war just annyoing.
My nose ring snatched out in my sleep 2 weeks after I got it because the ring was too long for my nose and soon after i had a bump and I was SO heated 😭. for about 4 months i had it, it popped, and then came back for another 4 months and I used tea tree oil to get rid of it.
i think thats what happened with me. maybe my body just heals slow its been about three months so i switched it and immediately got a bump even tho i never dealt with any issues before that. hopefully it doesnt take a while to go away but imma take good care of it
Everyone told me that industrial piercings were ridiculously hard to heal, but I went through with it anyway and I’m so happy with it. You gotta keep up with aftercare, because when it heals properly and quickly it’ll really make you wanna get another piercing in the future.
Yeah, i didn't know the industrial was a difficult piercing to heal, but I assumed it had a higher degree of difficulty since it is two piercing (at once) the body is trying to heal as well as it's in the cartilage (less blood flow). I kept up on the aftercare, got my bar curved a bit, and downsized when I knew my body would be done swelling and I found it to heal up really nicely. I stopped having healing tenderness around the 1month mark and less so when the bar was downsized.
I was told to do 2 captive bead rings and then switch to a bar. I had no problems with it. My most well behaved piercing!
I heard industrial was the hardest to heal because it makes two holes with a 14 g. needle. Also, having long hair makes it easy for it to get tangled in the piercing and cause irritation/infection. But, it’s the easiest one I’ve had. I just cleaned it with saline for forever, and never slept on that side. I never got an infection or keloid. It’s my favorite one I have.
I've had my industrial for 11 years now. It took 6 years of fighting to get rid of my keloid that developed. Same thing happened when i first got my nose pierced - this nose piercing i couldn't fight anymore as it was embarrassing to have this massive bump that everyone could see smack dab in the middle of my face so i gave up and took it out 😞 i love piercings and would love to get my nose pierced again but I'm terrified and don't think my body will accept anything...
I heard industrial was hard to take care of too. So naturally I went and got it as my first piercing. It was really sore and caught on my glasses sometimes, but swapping it out for a shorter one 6 months later made a huge difference. It’s been 4.5 years. And now I’m here for my nose ring that has caused a bump on the inside of my nose and I’m unsure of how to make it go away.
I once had a boyfriend that would constantly try to fiddle and play with my belly ring whenever we cuddled. I would tell him to stop before it got infected and when it eventually DID he tried to blame the piercer for doing it wrong 🙄 He later got an industrial and had to remove it bc he couldn’t stop touching it 😂
This was by far the most informative piercing video I've ever come across. Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Hard to watch though, wasn't it... ouch!
touching my bump and he says “you need to stop touching the piercing and the bump” oops
I got bumps on both nostrils. My right one was particularly fussy. Had an 8mm labret in it from the beginning. As soon as 2 months hit and it hadn't had crusties for a few days, I downsized it. After weeks of trying to get rid of the bump, downsizing it made it go away in 5 days. Amazing, truly 😄
So you adjusted ur piercing length and with proper care it disappeared in 5 days? I have a bump on one my of my nostrils, just changed the size today, hopefully it helps.
Was it a Red bump or a hard bump Like scar tissue of te sane color of the skin?
@@12tranoke51 did it help?
Where do you find the proper size nose rings? My bump keeps coming back 😩
@@tinaf600 I went to my piercer. I have never used a ring since it is curved and aggravates the fistula as it heals. I started with an 18G 8mm internally threaded flat back stud and switched to a 6mm one and no issues since. I research a lot of my own shit carefully so I was confident that downsizing was appropriate for me.
This is so refreshing to hear! I'm a professional body piercer and my clients always hate me for making them wait 4 months for a nose ring but most of them do be patient and thank me later! Others force them in too soon themselves and end up losing the piercing altogether. We don't say it to spite you! We say it because it's best for you! 😖
Mine has a bump but im also not loving the placement. Can I have it removed? Will the bump go away too or will it get bigger?
@@lilitheq630 if you remove the piercing, the bump will go away as there will no longer be anything agitating it. Sometimes it can take a little while but there are things that will help them go quicker such as Emu Oil like Scott suggests and my personal favourite is chamomile tea bag. They're cheap and very effective. (:
@@conormarsh1149 how are the chamomile tea bag use? Can help me i have a bump how to use it please
@@rosaarias5277 the way I suggest to my clients is to make the tea as normal, (drink of ditch the tea) remove the tea bag (drain it but not fully, just so it's not dripping every where) and just hold it against your piercing (as hot as you can bare, no need to burn yourself) and keep it there until it goes cold. 2-3 times a day. (:
Hey! I got my nostril pierced last January 2022 and after two months I developed a bump. I’ve tried salt water soaks, jojoba oil, Vitamine e oil, tea tree oil, and as of now a clean spray and polysporin which I have seen small results with. I’ve also got it changed once to titanium. The bump keeps fluctuating in size and I just don’t know what else to do. I’m thinking of getting it changed to a ring soon because my cousin had a bump which was worse than mine and hers went away and she had a ring. What’s your advice?
Keloids can be cut off, but there's no guarantee that it won't grow back
Hi Scott, loved your video! One of my clients, who is proned to keloids got a huge one on their helix piercing (done in another shop, understood it was not done properly when they told me the piercer had to push the needle 3 times to get through the skin 😨). The treatment that was done, by a professionnal dermatologist of course, was to get this keloid burnt with cold. He let it dry for a couple days and then removed it surgically. I didn't know about this procedure until then and thought it was a good one to share 😊
I'm prone to keloids and I want to get a nose piercing but I'm skeptical as well 😢
I don't know how I found you but I'm so glad I did. Keep up the good work!
If you have a persistent piercing bump please see a dermatologist. You don’t have to lose your piercing.
I had a cartilage piercing bump that wouldn’t go no matter HOW LONG (I’m talking about months), until I was prescribed topical cortisone for 3 days and honestly it worked like magic.
Not always true, generally if you get rid of the source of the problem and the bump will go away. Bumps don't just show up for no reason. It also says for external use only right on the directions. It could also be the jewelry style, size or polish on it, lifestyle and the soaps, fragrances and chemicals from everyday life, even just touching it can cause those bumps. Again get rid of the source of the problem and the bump will go away.
@PiercingWithScott hi I'm after some help I have a bump and they think it could be a keloid can u help me please?
I got a bump from accidentally pulling my piercing out in my sleep constantly, I tried looking online for any solution to get rid of it but nothing really worked but what did work was putting a bandage on it when I slept so I didn’t pull it out and soaking it twice a day with sea salt water
Tea tree oil
Non-iodized sea salt with Teatree oil and make it into a paste and I promise you it will go away, mines took about a week but it went away pretty fast
@@leahj6525 thank you for the suggestion! But gladly mine already went away lol I didn’t really wanna use tea tree oil though because I heard it’s pretty harsh on skin :(
@@Gvmerbvby It is you just have to Dilute it with water
@@leahj6525 mine is an infection I think it just burst today actually and I really want it to go away :( it looks like it’s finally starting to calm down a little but it’s an industrial piercing so it’s a bitch to heal. You think tea tree oil is okay on an infection?
This always happened with my earlobes and esp my cartilage piercings. It's kind of hard not to sleep on it when you inadvertently roll to your side so, alas, they ended up being removed.
Even people who have been pierced for decades fall blunder to this one. I use organic emu oil for healing them or any skin agitation. Its INCREDIBLE. Was able to reset pulled angry dermals as well on my outside wrists a very "high traffic" zone ♡ Its super cheap and a little goes a long way :)
A+ to you Scott you really know your craft
Where did you get emu oil at
@@RitaResilient511 do you have to dilute the emu oil?
@@artedesarializ I personally do not myself. I put one droplet on the bead/top and just use a q tip to lightly clean any extra as it drips around the wound which is goal but don't want a huge mess hehe. Be gentle as it's oil and absorbs well. You don't want to disturb the area too much as it never sets and is so disappointing ♡
I'm healing quite a few surface piercings atm so with the emu oil, occasional bandaids loose for air when snags are more likely and a saline wound wash is what I've used. So far in the clear *knocks on wood* lol
Hey :) thanks for sharing , can you tell us if this emo oil is sure to eliminate a piercing bump?
I've heard emu oil is absolute magic, can't wait to buy some
THANK YOU so MUCH for telling us about emu oil! My 2 week old vertical labret is very irritated because the top ball keeps sticking to my lip and pulling, causing an irritation bump. I was told I couldn't use lip balm and my lips have been so dry. I just ordered some emu oil. I'm so excited to be able to moisturize the area! I'll update once I've been using it for a while.
How’d it go?
@@gagenewman829 it went great! The oil is very moisturizing. It helped my irritation bump feel so much better and after a week the bump disappeared. :)
@@nick.universe_ that’s dope! I wanted to put a circular barbell in my nostril because it don’t seem that popular of a piercing it’s always for septum piercings changed it after two weeks super impatient and now I gotta bump I’ve been using tea tree oil for a few days and it’s helped some
@@nick.universe_ omg hi, i’ve just ordered some emu oil and it’s just arrived. do i just slap it on as i would like saline solution? (it’s for my nostril)
@@lolo-jt6gd I used a qtip and just put it right on my piercing :)
I had a big bump on the front of my conch for about 5 months (couldn't go in to see my piercer because of covid), it formed after I had a ring put in after about 9 months of healing. I don't know why the piercer who changed my jewelry didn't warn me not to go ahead with the change because she remarked that my conch was still healing after she took the original stud out. I would have gladly waited if she recommended I do so! I had to go back and get the stud put back in and the bump is healing now. I would not go back to this piercer.
I had my conch pierced WITH A RING! When the bump formed I couldn't go to my piercer because of covid! 1 year later I went and showed it to him and he was like "this is an infection. Put hydrogen peroxide 3 times a day for 14 days" I had watched this video and was like "I think we should just put a bar or a stud there. I don't think it's an infection. It doesn't hurt, doesn't leak anything, doesn't smell" and he kept saying it was an infection and if I do those things and it doesn't go away he would have to cut it.... Needless to say I still haven't done anything and won't listen to his advice
I removed my nostril bump with a razor. I will keep you all informed
Thank you so much for this. It's the best and most informative I've seen on this topic. I've watched tons of videos on how to get rid of a nostril piercing bump, but none ever explain what causes them in the first place, especially w/ a hoop. My piercer pierced me with a hoop and a bump sprung up in a month. Kept it at bay with tea tree oil and exfoliators (as per those other videos) and while the redness and size decreased, it wouldn't go away. After the piercing fully healed, I went to another shop to change it out to a stud. I didn't want to change it myself as to not irritate it further. Apparently the piercer couldn't rotate the ring.and my piercing had almost closed. I now have a stud in until this bump heals, and I'll be attending that second shop for future piercings.
How’s the bump now
It drives me nuts when all these girls at school with nose piercings complain about their hypertrophic scars when they keep messing with them with dirty hands..
I got my belly pierced when low-rise jeans were everything. So it healed the best besides my tongue.
I started my first nostril piercing with a 16g ring and had no problems. I'm sure the credit goes to my piercer (Cat at Koi studio, SLC). I took care of it on a regular schedule (saline on the outside only!) and I stayed conscientious of it. I do a lot of stimming when I'm idle, but it was easy to keep my nostril piercing clean and un-disturbed. I also work in a hot and linty print shop, and it didn't hurt because it was a good piercing job and I kept it clean!
I just got my double nostrils done today, thank you for informing us on how to take care of the piercings. You're a life saver!
Keloids can be removed. I had one. They numb your ear and use like a scalpel knife and cut it out. Then they give you like a special clamp on ear ring to keep your lobe compressed and you wear that for maybe a month. I pierced my own ear when I was 11 and of course I wasn’t taking care of it cause I didn’t know any better. 25 years later I have 2 piercings in the same lobe and no more keloids.
Does the process of removing the keloid hurts? I really want to get rid of mine but im scared of the process..
I have two Monroe piercings and lots of tattoos. They didn’t numb me up so those hurt me. If you have some then you know how that feels. So in comparison, when they numbed my ear, I didn’t feel a thing.
This is a great video. I am almost 36 and have been getting pierced since I was 19. I love the evolution of piercing aftercare and how hoops aren’t used as initial jewelry. It’s amazing I never developed any bumps from the old ways. I have experienced some bumps with more recent piercings and had mixed success with tea tree oil. I’ll definitely give emu oil a try.
Did you try it?
I’ve always tried tea tree and it helps but I’ll try this emu one
I've gotten piercing bumps in pretty much all of my ear cartilage piercings (I'm a side sleeper oops) and they've all gone away. With proper care and JUST SALINE they've gone away within a couple of weeks.
5: 31 Hi! tysm for this video! I have a bump like that so I took the bar out. Now the bump is still there. Do you know if I can pierce it again? or should I just leave it like that just to be safe? thanks in advance
Have a little bump on my Daith! Thank you for the Emu oil recommendation! I will give that a try! 😀
I got a stud about 2 and a half months ago, but the inflammation after the piercing was so intense that my stud basically got pushed into my nose. After only a few days of having the piercing I had to change to a ring and I have had non stop bumps and infections since. Fucking nightmare
thank you for talking about hoops. i got my earlobes pierced and had little knowledge of the difference between healing a stud and healing a hoop, especially with it being my first piercings. the piercer offered me both options as starter jewellery, didn't mention that there would be any difference in healing, and i chose the hoops for aesthetic reasons. they refused to heal even after months and developed bumps despite me being vigilant with cleaning and trying different solutions/fixes, which eventually resulted in me just taking them out cos i was sick of dealing with it. if i try again in the future i know to definitely not go for hoops as starters (and to go to a different piercer who knows not to offer it lol)
earlobes are a very easy heal with studs! i did 3 of my earlobe piercings at home and they have all healed great, way better than my original one that was done with a gun and a hoop.
That piercer did you so dirty with not telling you to not to use hoops. I have 3 lobe piercings on both ears, you have to start with studs and then for like 1-6 months until they are fully healed can you change to hoops.
The man uploads on this fine morning
all this video did was make me want to hug my piercer🤣🤣 i’m so lucky every piercing i have healed beautifully
I’ve seen a RUclips video where they freeze the keloids off.
There is a solution for keloids. I had one, my doctor cut it off and injected once a week for three months. It never came back..
Started getting one on my bridge from it being the wrong size jewelry plus I was told to spin it to properly clean it. As soon as I saw the bump and what seemed to be a raised migration, I sadly but quickly took it out. It's been about three months since it's been out. I'm gonna give it another go now that I'm more educated.
I waited like 8 months to change my nostril to a ring lol
This is definitely one of the most informative videos on piercings and I’m so glad I found it. I’m looking into getting quite a few this year. Thank you for all of this information.
i have a bump on my nose piercing right now that i got when i changed my stud to a ring after 4 months. i wanted to change it to an l shape stud but i couldn't figure out how to get it in, so i just put the ring in instead. the bump has been there for about a month and its small but not growing anymore and i don't know how to get rid of it :( any advice?
You helped me so much knowing the difference in piercing bumps and Keloids , I did everything you said and my piercing bump went down ALOT. Thankyou so much !
What is the difference? My piercing is about 1 month and I have a bump or something going on
I really hope you see this 🙏 I have a bump on my nose that I would love to try to use emu oil on, but I don't want to get a fake brand. What brand do you recommend to your clients?
Any particular brands of Emu oil you can recommend? Thank you!
For keloids: Dr. Pimple Popper has some keloid removal videos on her channel FYI. But from what I saw they have to be large enough for a large gage needle to be pushed into the bump where the needle gets cooled down for it to sorta freeze off (TL;dr) the keloid. A dermatologist would be my first go to for information on keloid. Dr. Pimple Popper does break into how some people are just more prone to them and the science to how they form in the removal video. (I would assume with the advancement of heat and mass transfer and finding more efficient liquids this would advance the medical side of things where they could create a small enough needle that could be used in smaller keloids, or it already is a thing but we only see the large keloids get removed that interfere with peoples lives.)
I had wet and got my triple helix piercied, all 3 at once 5 years ago. Mine had got a really big bump on the middle one. I had this bump for around a year. I called it my meatball 😅 and every time i would go see my piercer she would ask how my meatball was doing. We were unsure of what actually caused this bump so i ended up going to my doctor. The doctor looked at it and squished it. She said it was not a keloid scar because it was too soft. She prescribed me cortisone cream and my bump was gone in 2 weeks and has never come back.
My mom used to tell me to put mustard oil on my piercings and to keep rotating them ,, well it never turned out well , I finally learned my lesson when I got a double helix , the bumps formed would bleed so much (;´Д`)
Definitely gonna try the emu oil for my nose piercings, they both have bumps because my piercer gave me bars too long. Changed the jewelry and it's a lot better but still irritated. The oil looks promising!
my piercer let me get a ring on my first nostril and i have this exact same bump as 6:59 and its been like 4 weeks since I've had it now maybe longer
He is so comforting and reassuring! :) changed my nose stud to a ring after a few months and sitting here with the beginning of a sore bump
Piercing is a part of my culture and mandatory for women ( Indian aka South Asian here ) Indian generational herb medication. Pure tumeric powder cooked in pure mustard oil apply warm, u just need a spoon full of oil and a pinch of tumeric.also we only wear gold or pure silver to avoid infection. Only for redness and swelling , not for bump. Go to the doctor and remove the piercing.
i wish this video wouldve existed years ago when i was trying to heal my nose piercings. the piercers at the shop i went to kept telling me to clean it with water only, as they thought "chemicals make everything worse". i thought the bumps were my fault for the longest time, any google search would just say to listen to your piercer, but finally i went on an old ass piercing forum and found a recipe for sea salt water and they finally healed up. never going back to that place again, this video is very helpful. the internet has a lot of info on keloids, not a lot on piercing bumps
Same recently I got my nose pierced almost a month ago and I got a red bump and it's painful I don't even know what to do🥲
My piercing is 4 months old I wear glasses and my daughter pulled on them and my piercing came out boom keloid I’m still trying to fully get rid of it
Hey Scott! I got my tragus pierced in late June this year. And let me tell you, this piercing bump is the best thing that has ever happened to my skin. It led me to finding your video, which convinced me to try emu oil. Not only is the piercing bump GONE, but I used it on the rest of my skin just so I wouldn’t waste the bottle. My skin is clearer than before, healthier, and softer than ever! I have since I upgraded to ostrich oil. Now all of my immediate family is using it lmao. It’s a game changer! Thanks, Scott! 🙌❤️🔥

I have a nose piercing bump like the first one you showed but much smaller. If I'm understanding this correctly, my L-shaped ring can be too long and causing the bump? I clean it 4x daily
Have someone adjust the L make sure it isn't too long. You are also cleaning it too much. Once a day max.

Do you recommend changing/adjusting a long L shaped nose ring after the bump heals? Or before?
Yeah, I’d want to know the answer to this too. I think my L-bar is too long & is adding to my bump issues, but I’m afraid to change it if it isn’t going to help anything. My piercing is 5 mo old now.
@@tweakfreak87 I’m having this problem too! I’m stuck between changing it to a corkscrew piercing or leaving it but I don’t know what to do!
Hello! I had an L-shaped ring that I put in after my starter jewelry fell out. I immediately developed a bump that would resolve after using a sea salt/water paste then come back after a day or 2. I wasn't sure if the bump was caused by the jewelry being cheap or the constant movement. I went to the piercer while I had the bump and changed it to a corkscrew. The piercer tried to talk me out of changing the jewelry with the bump but I knew it was caused by the jewelry and would never heal. As soon as I changed the jewelry, I did a few days of the sea salt/water paste overnight and it went away.
what about nipple rings??! I was looking forward on you speaking about them...😢
This is the best free masterclass I've ever seen
When of my friends got her ears pierced w- a gun- w a butterfly backing. The skin grew over it and it got rlly crusty and she had to pick it off. So gross 😬😖
I had sooooo many problems when I changed my L shaped piercing to a hoop. My hoop kept getting hit, and it caused the bump. I thought it was infected but it wasn’t 😭 soon as a changed it back, I had so much relief
I currently have a hoop !!! So should I change to a stud ?
@@taylikespandasxx2953 did you just get it pierced or have you had it for a while and then changed it? If you just had it done, you really should have a straight bar in so it heals straight. If it’s been a while, you’ll be fine.

This helped me understand that my nose piercing was not viable. I went to the local tattoo/piercing shop and talked to them about it. The piercer who did my nose piercing didn't pierce it right. Thank you so much for the advice.
I got my nose pierced and started with a hoop, I forgot to clean it one night and woke up with a bump right above the hoop. It looks like there’s fluid in it so I made the mistake of poking it to get the fluid out but not much came out. I’ve been rinse it with saline solution twice a day but it is being stubborn. Is there anything else I can do to heal it?
I'm prone to keloids when I hurt myself and get a wound on some parts of my body, but NOT when I get piercings, never had a bump(knock on wood hoping I never get one either). But I've had keloids removed before and it is a PROCESS involving needles and
cortisone patches.
Does the process of removing the keloid hurts? I want to get rid of mine but im scared of the process..
