Ok heres the deal…. i just got my septum pierced. i have had it for a little over 2 days… when i got home i noticed that i cant flip it up into my nose… sh**itty for me i got to go to my new job on sunday. sooo my stupid a*ss changes the ring…. i know dumb but whatever…. ok, soo i chang my ring and i get home and clean it really really good… i used dial soap and made sure its rinsed out really good. soo heres my question, how come when your cleaning the piercing its easy to move around? but when your all done, it really stings to move… like after it drys and everything… it just has this stinging pain when you move it after you clean it, Why?

While you’re cleaning it, it’s lubricated so it’s easier to move. You shouldn’t move it around all the time for no reason though, that’s what makes it infected. You’re supposed to leave it alone when it’s new so only push it down if you have to and make sure your hands are clean. Also, use sea salt. Table salt has iodine in it, which would be way to harsh.
First off – You should never wash your site with soap. AHHHH! Your piercer should have told you to only clean the site with saline solution. The soap dries out the skin and cancels the good bacteria that is trying to heal the site. Only use saline solution or slightly salty water. Soap is BAD! You want to leave the piercing alone as much as possible for the healing process. No more SOAP!
When you’re cleaning it, it’s all lubed up & slippery. The soap & water make it a whole lot easier to move. Can’t really explain the stinging pain, though, I get that too after I change my eyebrow ring.
exactly what the other person said.
its not wet, so its not gonna move around easily.
and you trying to move it around, makes it sting.
Because it is basically a tiny stab wound in your nose.
Because you ****** your nose.
