I've had my nostril pierced for a few years, and always wear an 18ga nose screw in it. For the past few months I've notice an unpleasant smell, which is pretty annoying since it's in my nose. It isn't the least bit irritated - it isn't sore or red or anything, so I think infection is out of the question.
Should I be cleaning this piercing daily even thout it is totally healed? I don't change the jewelery more often than once every few months, and I'm not sure if that's what the problem is. None of my other piercings get smelly (when I noticed the nose-smell, I took out all my earrings [which also never get changed] and sniffed them, to see if anything strange was going on there too) - just the one I can smell all the time!
What can I do to tame the stink? What is causing it? Thanks in advice for any advice you can give me (except for telling me to take it out - I'd rather deal with the stink than do that)!
