Bump / embedding?
3 week old nose piercing. Reputable piercer, flat back titanium labret. Gently washing twice a day with neilmed spray, patting dry. Picture taken middle of the day, ie far from cleaning.
I struggle healing piercings - waited until I was 40 before feeling brave enough to heal one in the centre of my face….and it has not disappointed me with its trickiness!
There has always been a small bump / swelling around the piercing, but I got a cold at the weekend and it’s really blown up and to me looks a little like the piercing is embedding? Can book an emergency appt with the piercer if it needs changing.
I was never expecting an easy heal, but does this look concerning (beyond what you could expect for someone who heals slowly, and has been impacted by a snotty cold)
