What To Do For Discoloration In The Nose Due To Piercing?
Hi, um i have a nose piercing and for a while it has been looking weird and very slightly discolored, i think i may be allergic to nickel since i cant wear earrings with it in it for long or it will hurt. I got my nose pierced in January amd about a month after a bump grew, i ended up getting rid of it but now there is a hard ball in the hole, just like my ears, should i get a gold nose ring? Or what..... Because i know i can wear gold...
