hey guys this is Kristin so in today's video I'm gonna show you how you can get rid
of a nose piercing bump or keloid is what is also known as so before I jump
into the video I just wanted to let you guys know that I am doing a vlog channel
sort of it's partially vlogs and then the other stuff is just like random
things that happen to me or things I just want to talk about so if you're
interested in seeing any of that stuff I would love for you guys to check out my
channel it's just I am Kristen I will leave a link in the description below I
will also put it in the card up here now I do want to start by saying I'm no way
in shape or form an expert on nose piercings or anything like that I've
just done a lot of research and I've also spoken to a couple different
piercers more specifically the one who did mine and got some instructions and
some tips and things like that and honestly I should have recorded this
yesterday because my the bump on my nose is already way smaller than it was
yesterday just from doing some of the things that I've been doing so I
expected this to be gone by tomorrow evening or the next day so let me show
you what it looks like first and then I'll show you how I'm gonna get rid of
it so as you can see the bumps not that big but it's definitely noticeable
there's a few reasons why this can happen again sometimes like right when
it's a new piercing you know this can pop up also if you're using the wrong
kind of metal so you want to really stick with like 18 or 24 karat gold
metals you also want to do stainless steel or you can do titanium another big
thing is do not touch it with your bare hands because most times your hands are
dirty now if you just washed your hands really really good and then you touch it
it's probably okay but you really want to use like a q-tip or something else to
like clean it and you want to not touch it also you want to not spin it which I
know exactly why this popped up because those are the two things I do all the
time I'm always poking it to push it back in or sometimes it'll get twisted
around inside my nose and I'm not playing with it and I just I forget like
wash your hands then do it or whatever and so I'm always playing with it and I
love spinning it's like her I need like a buzzer that was his means
every time I try to touch my nose rings so I know that that's probably what
happened with mine is that it just got dirty and then this thing popped up
because I can't stop touching it so now I'm going to show you what there's a
couple different options but I'm going to show you the one that I use because
it goes away so fast and this one that my piercer recommended as well so pretty
much we just need to get saline wound wash then you're gonna want to grab a
small container and you'll spray some of this saline in here not very much at all
and now we're gonna heat it up you only need this in the microwave for like five
to seven seconds like seriously no more than that at all then you're gonna need
some like q-tips and cotton ball and we're gonna do a warm compress so I
usually start with a q-tip and just kind of rub it in there and then I will just
be careful it might be hot and then you're just gonna go around your
piercing and clean that off you can also just kind of hold this right on top for
a few seconds um I usually like to use one of these little like square cotton
balls or you can use gauze on yellow because the only problem with this one
like especially with mine is that these little fuzzy things can get stuck on it
so if you have guys use that if you don't just make sure that this is clean
and your hands are clean while you're touching it so then I usually fold it
into like quarter and I just kind of soak that in there and now I'm gonna do
is I'm just gonna hold this over my piercing nice um we were pushing my nose
I'm just gonna hold that over my piercing for probably I'm gonna keep
going back and forth because it'll this'll start cooling down but you want
to do this for about five minutes if you can and just kind of hold there if you
can three times a day if you can do it more that's great but man I wish I would
have had it on video this thing on my nose I'm not even kidding was twice the
size I like freaked out when I thought it was like what is going on my nose is
exploding so just in 24 hours it's already shrunk
half the size so I'm gonna try to throw a clip in here so you can see what its
gonna look like over the next day or two so you can see how quickly it'll go down
the other way you can do this as well is with sea-salt so make sure it's not your
like table iodine salt it needs to be like sea salt and you can do the same
thing just put a very small amount in though in
water and mix it around with warm water until it's completely dissolved and then
do the same thing some people will actually put their entire nose in there
I don't know if you really need to necessarily go that far you definitely
can but using the compress it works just as well the biggest thing and I need to
remember this myself you have to keep your piercing clean Kristen keep it
clean stop touching it that's you know I'm giving that message out to everybody
else that I need to do it too so anyways that's it for today's video I hope you
