I've had my right nostril piercing for 11 weeks now and its developed an abcess on the inside of my nostril on the exit of the fistula. Its a reddish pink bump that has a soft-squishy feeling to it, and has no pus. I'm worrying that this isn't an abcess or hypertrophic scarring, but a keloid or something serious D:
Please suggest anything that may have worked for you if you've had this sort of problem.

I'm pretty positive it's none of the things you think it is. Look up hypergranulation tissue and fret not, m'dear! :D

 That is the "dreaded nostril bump", mine I believe was hypergranulation...just kind of your body's way of going..um, no thank you. I had it about three times, and honestly, I picked the fucker off every time and just put the jewelry back in. (I DO NOT SUGGEST THIS--I REPEAT, NO PICKING!). Just saying....that's what I did. I tried using tea tree oil upon suggestion from others.....tried "massaging" it and whatnot, tried going to my piercer....it never went away. Other, safer things may work for you, have you tried just plain babying it because it's so new? The bump didn't officially go away for me until the 4-5 month mark. Others with better advice, plz respond.

gahh.. I FINALLY know what my stupid nose bump was!! ... tea tree oil pissed it off beyond belief!!... well.. at least I know what it is if i ever get my nose pierced again...

thank you!

Try this

 Sorry, but this product is currently out of stock.

well, it will be back soon

The chamomile really helps with the bump.

 Ok.. OP said her bump is on the inside of her nose and Crazy Chameleon instructions warns against using on mucous membrane which the lining of the nose is, no?  So maybe this is not the best idea for her.

 chamomile tea bag compresses are sooo nice up the nose.  and do help. 

what about the holistic swabs?  can they be used?  iirc dani said she had a lot of success with them.

to the OP, if it is an actual abscess, see your doctor.  The infection needs to be treated.

i wish to bump this for possibly more info

i get hypergranulation tissuebump thing on my nose alllll the time >.< i worry that my bioplast nose screw has a knick on it thats scracthes my nose and aggrivates it when i sometimes accidentally brush it and it half pops out...i use a salt water solution on all my piercings every night, and the chamomile sounds cool excapt that i just fond out i have a birch and ragweed allergy [all cery fancy i get reacton from pretty much any fresh fruit or veg you care to name] and oddly chamomile is one of the things i probably get a reaction from, so i havn't tried this on my nose.  

My type1 diabetes probably doesnt help :/ are there any other awesome things that could help? i feel i should change from this ring, my piercer said not to have the same bioplast ring in a piercing for more than 3 months and ive been living with this for much more than that .... problem is no other ring goes in! not even metal screws go in or the circuler rings, or the simple L ones. It is to say teh least frustrating. I try now and then to change it but its just too painfull.
