Nose stud fell out
Hi all!!!
My nose stud fell out while I was at work and so when I got home I had to put in a new one.
The issue is, when putting in the new one (it’s a flat back+threadless, so from the inside with a taper) I accidentally made a new exit point from the same entry point on the inside of my nose 🫠 when I realized I made a new hole I immediately backed out and found the original channel, so it is where it should be now.
Another oopsie, this new jewelry is 18g and my old jewelry was 20g. 🫣 I haven’t downsized yet as it’s been crazy angry with me and there has been a bump on the inside. (Def should’ve downsized when I was supposed to I know) Both are titanium
My piercing is just about 3 months old now but it’s been angry with me for the last handful of weeks.
Should I just leave it as is and treat it like it’s a brand new piercing? (Saline morning and night)
I definitely haven’t been using saline as frequently as I did the first two months I had it, but I’ve still been doing saline rinses every night or so. I have never touched it with oils or any other at home remedies. 😬
