I have a nose ring that I got pierced with but instead of a ball on the end it's like a flat piece. It's healed up and I want to change it but I don't know how to get it out. What should I do?

Community Answer

Grab each end and pull gently.

Question

What can I do if my nose stud is stuck inside my nose and I am in pain?

Community Answer

Your nose is probably swollen. Try to avoid touching it and ice it to decrease pain/swelling. And over-the-counter pain reliever will help too. Then, your best bet is to return to your piercing place and have them remove it for you.

Question

I just took my nose bone piercing out. Is it a good sign when my nose bleeds a little?

Community Answer

Your nose shouldn't bleed. Put some ice on your nose if it's bleeding or really red and swollen, as that helps the blood vessels to constrict, which reduces swelling. Then, daub just a bit of antibiotic ointment on the piercing. This can protect against infection and slow bleeding. If it the bleeding gets worse, contact a doctor.

Question

I'm putting a neem stick in my nose, but its not going through my nose and it's hurting when I'm pushing it in. Please help.

Community Answer

It sounds as if the hole has closed, or perhaps the neem stick is too thick for your piercing.

Question

I have a corkscrew nose stud, and have not removed it since it was pierced. It won't budge. I think it may be stuck or scabbed on the inside of my nose. What can I do?

Community Answer

Trying putting a salve inside and out of your nostril. Otherwise, you will have to have it removed for you.

Question

Which way should the end of the L-shaped ring point?

Community Answer

I personally have mine pointing downwards, but you can point it upwards, to the side, or in any direction you want. Just do what's comfortable for you. If it's long and sticks out of your nose, I would point it up or to the side.

Question

How do I put in a nose stud with a threaded backing?

ThatPleb 101

Community Answer

I assume you mean a labret post that has a flat bottom, in which case you put in in from inside your nose. Feel inside your nose, feel for the hole, and push the jewelry through. (I suggest using stretching lubricant as it may be a bit painful.)

Question

I have an earring type nose stud (which has a back). I'm finding it difficult to take out, what do I do?

Community Answer

If you can remove the backing, then take it off from the inside of your nose. Then, simply pull the nose stud out through the front. If you really can't get it out, then go to your piercer and have them remove it for you.

Question

It my nose pierced a few months ago and it has a flat piece inside. Ive tried screwing it both ways and pulling as hard as I can but it won't come out. What do I do?

Community Answer

Usually tattoo/piercing parlors or shops will help you take it out for free. Sometimes they won't put the new jewelry in for you unless it was bought at that specific place. Ask first.

My nose stud has an arrowhead tip on the inside; how am I supposed to remove that? I just got my nose pierced and neglected to notice that the stud was going to be like this.

BodyBlingPiercings

Go back to your piercer and ask them to remove it for you. Trying to remove it yourself can cause infection and pain.

Question

I have a nose pin with a screw behind it, its not coming out because the screw is tightened. I want it to come out.

Community Answer

Use the smallest pair of tin snips and cut the top off and pull the other side out with tweezers. Make sure the tweezers have a hold of the back before you try this and have help if you need it.

Question

My nose stud site is infected, so I took the stud out, but I need to put it back in. It's very painful when I try. Should I give it a quick push to force it in when it’s straight?

The Ethnic jewels

Community Answer

Forcing it back in could make the situation worse. Before attempting to reinsert the stud, it's crucial to address the infection. Clean the area thoroughly with a saline solution and apply an antibiotic ointment. Once the infection has subsided, if you still experience difficulty, it's best to consult a professional piercer or a healthcare provider for guidance and to ensure it's safe to reinsert. Rushing the process could exacerbate the issue and cause more harm than good. Your health should always come first.
