What can I do about my infected nose piercing?

What should I do about a minor nose piercing infection? I guess I haven’t been cleaning it enough. It stopped hurting ( it’s been a little over a month ) so I switched to only cleaning once a day

Bactine that you can buy at the store. That what I always used, and I had to use stainless steel jewelry. When it gets really itchy and nothing worked I had to take it out and let it heal up.

Steel and make sure u r using meds to clean it alot…

Clean it 3x a day, very well could be the jewelry though. Might need to switch to surgical steel if you don’t have one in already

A saline cleaner like H2Ocean or even wound wash on a qtip. Clean around it 3x a day, especially after putting on makeup.

Use a qtip and mix a little salt and water together and use the qtip to swirl it around the infected area 3 times a day

Infected? Polysporin will fix that…then keep it clean…I found mine never healed…it’s not an ear lobe…but was also good when I no longer wanted it…closed right up.
