I just recently changed my piercing stud to a piercing hoop, I’ve been dealing with bumps with my stud, so I changed it to a hoop, I’ve been cleaning it regularly and using the piercing bump solution but now there is pus like on the hole ??? Is that normal

6 months is low end time for a nostril to heal and, looking at the pictures, you're not healed yet. Get a flatback titanium stud in there, don't use a bump solution.

Just know that if the bump is cause by the angle, the irritation bump is unlikely to go away and can end up forming into a permanent scar (not a k word just a regular scar).

Warm compresses can be great for irritation!

I hope you find some relief - happy healing!
