To stop a nose piercing from closing, it’s crucial to keep jewelry in place to maintain the piercing. Clean the piercing site regularly with saline solution to prevent infection and avoid removing the jewelry for extended periods. If you must remove it temporarily, such as for medical reasons, consider using a retainer made of silicone or bioflex to keep the hole open without compromising the healing process.
