here we go again

Hi all,

I have a bump beside the jewelry (barbell stud) on my nose.
At this point I'd say it's one of those
hyper-whachama-gooby scars. It isn't dark and it isn't
sprouting arms so I don't think it's a keloid.

I'm not freaking out. I'm breathing and I'm being calm.

Doctor says --> take it out immediately, if you don't take
it out it'll continue to irritate and the bump will get
bigger and then we'll have to do surgery to remove it or
people will make fun of you on the street. (No he doesn't
say that but you can tell he's thinking it.)

Online FAQ's say different things --> chamomile tea, tea
tree oil, vitamin E oil, salt soaks, standing on my head
wearing men's underwear, etc.

Lish FAQ says --> I'm stressing it and it's reacting, stop
stressing it dumbass, H202 soaks, and if I wasn't invited
get the hell out of her website.

I go with Lish. Two days I soak the bump off and on in H202
and I notice it's beginning to eat a small hole in the top
of it. Well, at least this is a change. Was it supposed to
eat a small hole in my bump?

Then I go in for a scheduled control with my piercer.

Piercer says --> It's normal, put some scar-reducing cream
on it (Contratubex) and see him again in 14 days. It's a
normal part of the healing process and my piercing is only
14 days old so it'll probably go away on its own even if I
don't do anything. He measures the jewelry, says the
jewelry is long enough, no problem there. Just cream it,
keep it clean, and leave it alone. Shouldn't I change the
jewelry to reduce the chance of stress to the area?
Shouldn't I use H202 like Lish says? No, he says. He's so
tiny and cute I have to do what he says I just want to pick
him up and squeeze him and put him in my pocket.

Okay, that's it. I don't know what to do. Someone please
come cuss me and tell me what to do. I want the bump to be
gone and my beautiful piercing to sparkle like the sun for
many years to come.

(An aside: when I walk into my piercer's studio the owner
and his wife are there and first they ignore me and then
they look at me as if to say what the f*ck do you want,
asshole? And I have to smile to myself as I think - Wow,
just like r.a.b.!)

Yours truly,
The Cunt Nugget

By chance, is the jewelry SS?

Try Ti.

It's possible that while you are cleaning the piercing, you are causing
aggravation. A nose hair could also be irritating the piercing. H2O2
on a healing piercing is bad news. You are not healed. That could be
causing more problems. If you are using makeup, you could be causing
the problem.

Basically, YOU are causing he problem. Relax. Let yourself heal.

I asked about the jewelry before the piercing and all I
remember for sure was that it isn't surgical steel and
contains no nickel. If SS could fall into that category it
may be. Discussion was in two languages. I'll ask.

Wait a minute. I don't really know what you're referring to
with SS and Ti. I'm assuming SS = Stainless Steel? and Ti
= Titanium? If SS is Surgical Steel then forget this part.

Sheesh, I'm embarrassing the hell out of myself. Someone
just gag me please.

http://www.fuckingaltavistait.com is the best for scholarly
articles but sometimes you'll get .edu hits and have to have
a password. Then you'll have to employ
http://www.fuckingsatanit.com or http://www.fuckingbackdoor
it.com and well, that gets tricky if you don't have the
skillz or a mole.
http://www.fuckingyahooit.com is unproven to me as yet and I
don't really want to hop on the fad bandwagon.
or if you want to go with the biggest banana I've heard
http://www.fuckingmonstercrawlerit.com is helpful.

I got that part. I did research on and offline. It was
inconclusive and I wanted more opinion.

you did research and still weren't sure what the hell SS and Ti meant?
that can't have been very good research.

Anyway.

I was at a birthday party today. A friend's sister turned nine! Cake,
ice cream, shrimp, cold cuts, cheese, music, gifts, of course, oh, and
a piñata.

Fun.

Home now and watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

yep. h2o2 eats into fresh tissue, which hypertrophic scarring IS.
you were having progress. keep it up.

yeah, h2o2 is not for HEALING. it's for problem solving. he may've
thought you were asking if you should use h2o2 to clean it. doesn't work
that way, & i'd worry about a piercer who doesn't know its use.

I did and it worked. I had the beginnings for two days, but
solid beginnings no doubt about that. A full-fledged ugly
bump forming on the outside of my piercing.

Two days later, 5 min. soaks with H2O2 produced the hole.
Three days later it sorta imploded and sloughed away. All
looks just like it should now. Amazing. Thanks a bunch.

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he
didn't understand me. He's very careful otherwise. I go in
and he whips out measuring equipment and checks everything,
asks the right questions. I've got to learn how to
communicate with him better. Until then I've got the
collective wisdom of r.a.b., and thank goodness.

In the FAQ that was just released surgical steel is referred
to as SSS, and I don't remember if Ti was mentioned. I'm
not getting defensive over this, I know I read quite a bit
and I'm still reading. You don't want to answer, don't.
You want to heckle me, have fun.
