To determine if your nose piercing is healing correctly, look for signs of healthy healing such as a gradual decrease in redness, swelling, and discharge. It should not feel overly painful or hot to the touch. Clear or whitish discharge is normal, but yellow or green pus, persistent pain, or increased swelling may indicate an infection. Regular, gentle cleaning with saline solution can promote healthy healing. If you observe any troubling symptoms, it’s important to consult a professional piercer or healthcare provider.
