Pesky bumps?!? Please help I’m so frustrated😭🤬🥵
I recently got two new piercings over the summer. I can’t remember exactly how old they are but I got them both in July and my helix is about 3-4 weeks older than my nose. Anyhow they both ended up developing what I am almost positive are irritation bumps. I can not stop sleeping on my helix for the life of me. It doesn’t bother me much anymore so I can’t exactly tell if I’m still turning on it, but I have pillows and blankets against my wall to help prevent that. I also sleep on my nose I know. The second day I had it I ripped it out in my sleep and from then on I sleep with a bandaid on it. After my helix developed a bump I contacted my piercer and he recommended diluted tea tree oil. I’ve been using it 2 times a day while cleaning and it will sit on there until I clean it for the night or next morning. One morning I was rushing and yanked my nose piercing halfway out with a cotton pad. That night I noticed a small bump and began applying tea tree oil the same way as my helix. It’s been three days and I feel like the bump on my nose is growing and a white substance looks like its in the bump🤔. I’ve also noticed another bump on my helix that I’m not sure if it’s new or has been there since the first bump I saw. I have no idea if this tea tree oil is helping or what but I don’t know what else to do or what I may be doing wrong. Any advice will help. I do go to school so doing a sea salt soak in the morning isn’t an option. I did one on my nose tonight but could only hold it in there for 5 minutes because it was such an awkward position and the salt water was getting in my mouth.
