Do not remove your nose piercing if you have a bump. Removing it can cause the hole to close up and trap any infection inside. Instead, clean the area twice daily with a saline solution or an aftercare product recommended by your piercer. Avoid touching or twisting the jewelry to reduce irritation. If the bump persists or worsens, consult a professional piercer or a healthcare provider for advice on proper treatment.
