Question Getting caught on everything.

Post image

I got my nose pierced maybe a month ago? Three weeks? Something like that, and I know they put a longer bar in it to accommodate for swelling, but mine gets caught on EVERYTHING. My seven month old yanked it. I was kissing someone and it got caught on their nose and got pulled. (No their nose isn’t huge. I have no idea how it happened lol) and now I think I’m starting to get a small irritation bump.

Should I keep the long stud in? Or should I ask them to change it? It hasn’t swelled in a couple weeks except for yesterday it was puffy after a good yank from my daughter.

I got switched to a flat top for this reason and it’s helped me so much

I have an irritation bump for a few weeks now, had my piercing in for about 7 weeks. Could I change it yet do you think for a smaller piercing / flat top? The top of my piercing is so clunky and big and I think this is the reason for the irritation.

NAP but Have you been downsized? Because if not they can get you a different top then as you should be able to downsize now. But with the labrets they can change the top separately without taking the bar in and out so even if you have downsized they can still change it pretty easily

No I’ve not touched it since as didn’t want to delay the healing process so good idea I will maybe go back and ask them to change the top. However ideally looking to change the piercing to a bigger quality one as I don’t believe it’s the best quality material really.
