Piercing/jewelry help!
I have a nickel allergy.
Let me say that first lol.
So I’ve had my septum pierced for 8+ years now, and only had jewelry in it total for about 2 years.
I have several other piercings, including navel and cartilage in my ears.
I list those two piercings, because i use the same jewelry metal in those piercings as i do my septum.
My septum is still open and i can put a ring in it at any time, pain free.
However, when i seem to do that about 2 weeks later my nose swells on both exit holes and becomes very red and hot and the entire tip of my nose becomes sore to the touch.
Now, I bought a pack of rings at walmart, which the metal does contain some portion of nickel.
And i attribute that to the irritation i get EVERY time i put jewelry in-my nickel allergy.
Here’s my problem, the same pack of rings i put in both my cartilage piercings and i bought a navel piercing of the same material and i have no reactions. In fact, ive had the same jewelry in for months.
As soon as i take the jewelry out of my septum, im healed in a week tops.
Is the nose more sensitive to metal allergies?
Is the piercing maybe placed too high?
Again, I’ve had this piercing FOREVER. And i always have to take it out around the 2 week mark.
Looking for help😩😩
