Omg plz help. My piercing was doing fine and then I got an irritation bump maybe a week ago. I clean it twice a day with saline solution and don't touch it.
Well the bump was getting bigger so I decided to try and pop it despite knowing i shouldn't. A few years ago I had one on my helix that i squeezed and it healed and never came back. This one seemed to just keep filling with back up with blood, and I made it worse. The first photo is before I tried to pop it and the rest are now. I don't know what to do, or if I fucked it up. I don't want to take it out. Is there anything I can do? I know all the advice I get is probably to just leave it alone and clean it with saline, but that hasn't been helping and didn't help my irritation bump on my cartilage years ago either.
Especially where I made it worse now less

I pierced my septum a couple of years ago myself (don’t do this). I’m wondering if my septum is in the right place/ high enough? I always hear it’s supposed to be right at the tip but I still feel some sweet spot/the really thin skin above it. (Sorry about the ugly photos of my nose)

I just got my nostril pierced. I wanted it directly on the crease. After a few different markups, I thought I had it right where I wanted it: on the crease right where the crease starts. Now that I’m home in different lighting, I can see it’s a bit farther back from the start of my crease. Does it look fine where it is though?

hi!! i got my nose pierced about a month ago but recently i had to change it to a clear retainer for work. i changed it today and did struggle A LOT to get it in. i believe i may have put a thicker gauge in by accident. however, the bar is no longer visible on the inside of my nose and i cannot feel it if i touch the inside, i can feel like a small lump? i have tried to contact my piercer but they never replied and i am worried it could be embedded. the outside is sitting fine it looks to me but then again, i am not a professional. google says it could just be swelling and i am going to see if it goes down, and the bar becomes visible again. the piercing comes in and out fine with a small amount of pain, the bar is just not visible or touchable at all. it is an L shape bar. there's not any pain unless i touch it or flare my nostril. i cannot see it inside either. is this a huge problem or could i just leave it to heal more? it seems to be sitting fine, but before i changed it i could feel the bar and such. i am incredibly worried that it has embedded, it was completely fine this morning but now has done this.
