What is it when you have a bump on the inside of your nose around the piercing?

I've experienced this problem with both my nose piercing and recent cartilage piercing. This is most likely a minor infection that can be cleared up easily or improved within hours with something like hydrogen peroxide which inhibits bacteria from multiplying. redness, soreness and swelling decrease also. A lot of people automatically assume that these small bumps seen around the piercing site are KELOIDS, but most are bubble-like infection bumps. So hydrogen peroxide will fix this up quick for you.
Answer:
Well actually it's called a Hypertrophic reaction, this is a reaction to an irritant, generally from the cleanser you are using on your piercing. Simply cease cleaning the piercing with any cleansers or sprays, irrigate the piercing daily in the shower while moving the jewellery to flush the piercing out. Don't use anything on the piercing other than water. Within a few days the piercing will start to settle down and the bump will go away. It's not an infection.

If it is a bump on your nose piercing that isn't filled with puss but keeps growing it is most likely a keloid. The best thing to use is TEA TREE OIL. It comes in a little bottle and you can find it at a Walmart where all the medicines are. Dip a q-tip in the bottle and apply a little of the oil to the bump. DO NOT TOUCH THE BUMP OR MESS WITH IT as that's what makes it bigger. It should clear up in a few days depending on how big the bump is and how much you mess with it.
