Keeping your hands, which are laden with bacteria, away from the piercing as much as possible will help immensely. Carefully follow your aftercare sheet given to you by your professional piercer. Clean the piercing daily and avoid irritants like alcohol and other harsh products. Leave your jewelry in at all times, for piercings can shrink or completely close up within minutes, regardless of how long you have had the piercing. A nostril piercing can take six months to a year to completely heal.
This varies from person to person, for everyone has a different rate of healing due to the piercee's overall health. Immune system, diet, exercise and stress level can all factor into how well the body will heal the wound. It is safe to change your jewelry around the six-month mark, or when all swelling and irritation from the piercing has ceased. Once your piercing is healed, go to a professional piercer to have your jewelry changed.
A professional will be more skilled at making the process painless and quick, and will provide a clean environment instead of you trying to do it at home.
Ask the piercer to show you the different types of jewelry available for your nostril. The types are a ring or a nostril screw. A nostril piercing usually takes months to heal sufficiently enough for the jewelry to be removed. Unfortunately, nose piercings take longer to heal than most other common piercings. Following your aftercare routine will not only prevent infection but should also speed up your healing time.
Once the standard healing time has passed, evaluate your piercing. If there is swelling, tenderness, redness or other forms of discoloration, or any discharge from the piercing, leave it alone for the time being. Make sure to wash your hands with antibacterial soap before touching the piercing.
The inside of the piercing is essentially forming a scab, and the more that the jewelry gets moved around the more that scab is being disrupted.
Touching the piercing can also introduce new bacteria into the open tissue, which can cause infection and prolonged healing time. As long as your piercing is well healed then installing jewelry should be fairly easy. The best method is to use some sort of water based lubrication. Then gently insert the jewelry into the piercing using very little pressure to make sure not to damage the hole. If resistance is met and the jewelry feels as if it doesn't want to go in then go ahead and push a little harder.
If at any point it becomes painful or starts to bleed then stop what your doing and seek out a professional piercer in your area to assist you.
Before changing your nose piercing make sure it is completely healed. Once you feel like your piercing is good to go then you should be ok to change out your jewelry. But if at any point you are met with resistance or have trouble then you should seek out a professional piercer in your area to assist you. Most nostril piercings will take roughly about months at the minimum to be completely healed. After that time a good rule of thumb is if you go a good solid weeks without seeing any crust or discharge then your piercing could possibly be healed.
This is one of those things where everybody heals completely different and some peoples piercings may heal faster or longer then others. While the nostril is healing months cleaning should take place two times a day, morning and night. The best method to clean the nostril is with a pre-made non-iodized sea salt spray.
You can find Non-iodized sea salt at almost any grocery store, with the distilled water. The sea salt should say; Non-iodized, pure, or organic.
When you read the label, it should only have one ingredient, sea salt. When you get home put four teaspoons of the non-iodized sea salt into the gallon of distilled water and shake the bottle well. After you have mixed the jug you can pour it into a smaller container for doing soaks on the go.
When you are ready to clean your piercing pour the solution into a shot glass or a porcelain coffee cup. Make sure that you are not using paper or plastic products, this will contaminate the sea salt solution. Once you have poured the solution into your cup put it in the microwave for a few seconds. You want the solution to be body temperature or lukewarm, any warmer then that may burn you and your piercing. Everyone has a different microwave, so it might take a few tries to get the temperature right.
Hold the shot glass or coffee cup up to your nose and lean into the cup. Hold the cup to your nose for anywhere between 7 and 15 minutes.
