I know there are a few questions similar but its better to ask with my own issues to get a more specific answer.
I had my nose pierced 2 weeks ago and yesterday I got what I assume is an infection. I've been treating it no differently, maybe being a little bit more precautious, using Dr. Pierce (the anti bacterial stuff from my piercer) on the inside and outside of my nose along with some Polysporin.
There was a small yellow-y bubble just under the stud that I was able to wipe away (pretty sure it was pus) a few hours later but the hole is still red and swollen and there is still a bit of pus hanging around.
Also now when I apply the dr pierce and especially the polysporin to the inside of my nose it causes a sharp sting, even moving the post stings a bit.
Should I just keep using the anti bacterial stuff and polysporin or try something else/see a doctor?
Thanks guys!
