The right jewelry will fit properly and be made of safe materials that don't irritate your skin. Here are some things to consider when selecting nose-piercing jewelry:

Mark your skin where you want your piercing. Use a pen to draw a little dot where you want your piercing to go, making sure you choose the spot where it will look best. If you're piercing your ears, make sure that they're symmetrical. Look at the mark from all angles and make sure that it's in the exact place you want it. This mark is a guide for your piercing needle. Repeat this process every day until the piercing heals. Your nose will be swollen and sore for a few days after the job, but it should feel normal before the week is over. Be aware that the piercing may take as long as 3-4 months to completely "heal".Another risk of self-piercing your nose is excessive bleeding. Getting the piercing right without the proper tools or knowledge can be challenging. This can lead to bleeding that becomes difficult to stop, and some may need to go to the hospital for an expert's attention.

Rinse the area around the infected nose piercing bump with warm water and dry with a clean piece of paper towel.
