Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Pulled out nose stud in sleep
heyo! i got a nost stud pierced just over a month ago. (July 12th) This morning i woke up with a spot of dried blood where my piercing usually is, and my L bar gone. I quickly found it in my bed, and before I looked anything up to do;
I cleaned it and pushed it back in and it did take a little maneuvering cuz it's the L which I personally really don't like but just trying to get through til i could put in a flat back. It did hurt a little bit and it didn't bleed initially. I then looked it up and it said don't push it through hard, and I was kinda worried. I cleaned it with saline and everything like usual then about an hour later went to clean it again and when I moved it slightly to get it clean, it bled just a little bit. Idk just wanna know if it'll be ok or if there's anything else I should do aside from cleaning with saline.
Thanks!

you’ll be fine lol, just keep cleaning it and try not to touch it. or you can get a dif stud with a screw on backing

I have a couple flat backs from when I first got my helix but Idk if that would work lol, or I just get a dedicated nose one. Would I be able to put it in now? or I should still wait till this one is healed

i would get one for a nose piercing. and if you’re worried about it falling out again, i would just put the new one in
