"Lament for a nostril piercing.
I had finally decided to get my nostril pierced. I was 27, just lost 50lbs and this was a reward to myself for reaching my goal. I'd always daydreamed of a silver nosering.
The studio I chose was a tiny jewelery and piercing place, very clean and the woman who performed it had professional certificates all over her little piercing cubby. She was dressed a bit like a dentist's assistant, and everything appeared very sterile looking. I relaxed quite a bit in these surroundings.
Lying back in the chair, she cleaned the inside and outside of my nostril thoroughly with disinfectant and then picked up a wooden tongue depressor with padded bandages wadded around the tip. She inserted this into my nostril to prevent the needle from running renegade inside my nose; after going through my nostril, the needle would hit the stick instead of my septum. Then she picked up the needle.
At this point, I closed my eyes and tried hard to relax. She told me to expect a sharp pain that lasts about 3 full seconds, followed by a dull aching sensation, and of course, my eyes would water.
She wasn't kidding.
It hurt a bit more than I was expecting, but it was all over relatively soon. Putting the ring in was annoying, the skin was tender and it took her about 30 seconds to install it properly. Afterwards, she sold me some disinfectant cleanser (started with a B...betadine? something like that..), gave me an information pamphlet, and instructed me on how to care for my new piercing. And then I was on my way.
Pretty standard piercing experience....
Yeah, until I am left alone with my new hole. Leave it to me to find a way to utterly **** it up in less than 2 months.
The healing went well; I cleansed, I babied, I pampered. I was left with a perfect piercing that I was ecstatic about.
However.
I use a daily facial scrub in my cleansing rituals. I have for years. I can't live without it. And this crutch would ultimately be the downfall of my shiny new nose hole...
One day, I notice that a small, round, red bump was forming right where the ring disappeared into my nostril. I extra-cleansed like a madwoman. Days later, it's not getting any better. In fact, it's getting a lot worse. The small-round-red-bump was evolving into a behemoth-round-red-bump. A very painful one at that. And hard. Not oozy like one might think. Very curious.
I call the studio. They ask me to come in. I'm examined. I get a shrug, essentially.
I call the doctor. They ask me to come in. I'm examined. I get a professional shrug, essentially. (And a very derogatory remark from one of the nurses - "Betcha won't be doing THAT again, now will ya?" WTF?)
I call another doctor. They ask me to come in. I'm examined. They question an allergy to the surgical steel. Doubtful. They question my routine of caring for my piercing. I tell them all about my fastidious cleasing habits of not just my piercing, but my whole face - my whole body!
It dawns on me, and the doctor at the same damn time. It's like a light bulb going on.
Facial scrub. Bits of ground up apricot pits. Bits of ground up apricot pits that are now festering inside my once perfect piercing.
I am such a moron to have not thought of this while scrubbing away in the shower day after day after day.
Penicillin was prescribed for the infection and I was instructed to remove the jewelery immediately (which was quite a feat in itself; finally had to use a pliers to snap the ring in half. The raging infection was still disturbed in this process and hurt like a screaming bitch). Eventually the inflammation ceased, and all was healed -- including the Perfect Piercing, which had grown shut.
I tried and I tried to get a stud through there, but to no avail. I'd have to have it repierced, but I was afraid of another infection. I thought I might wait a while.
It's been three years. I'm still yearning for another perfect nostril piercing, and still afraid of another infection due to The Apricot Pit Bits of Great Irritation. I know it's a sacrifice; one or the other, but I'm just not ready to give up the scrub.
It's a battle I fight everyday. But lately, I think the piercing's been winning. I might have to throw facial scrub to the wind. Or at least investigate other facial care products that won't intrude into tiny orifices.
Or just screw the nostril completely (figuratively speaking, of course). I could buck up and get that genital piercing I've been fantasizing about.
Now THERE'S an idea. ""
