-- Posted by Anonymous at 12:50 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 I got my nose pierced about 5 days ago. For the first two days, it was not red or tender. But starting the third day, it became just a tiny bit red around it and its tender. There is no pus or anything, but there is just a bit of a crust every time i go to clean it. Could it be infected? Or are these just normal signs of healing? Thanks! -- Posted by horseeyesss at 12:51 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 same thing happened to mine, just make your you keep it clean -- Posted by 1ofakind at 12:51 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 Thats healing... -- Posted by gwen gardner at 12:52 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 it might be o.k. but keep an eye on it.you can try a sea salt rinse or tea tree oil if your really worried -- Posted by taraxgoesxboom at 12:52 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 That's supposed to happen, just make sure you keep it clean. -- Posted by police disco lights at 1:01 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 That's completely normal, no worries. -- Posted by CrazyGrrl4U at 2:30 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 it starting to heal.. its normal.. if it were infected it would have pus already and hurt alot more. just continue to clean it and you'll be fine
