UGHH, ok well I got the piercing bump on it again like a couple days after it went down I don't know if its because of the sea salt or because I'm sick.. I'm struggling 😩. And also I'm trying to hide my piercing but it's so awks like I'm using a bandaid and everyone is asking about it.. If you have tips on how you got rid of the bump or hid it can you please share it 😊thanks.

Warm water and sea salt soaks 3-4 times a day. It'll take a while for it to completely go away, but you should see some improvements as the days goes on. If not, I would go to your piercer and or doctor. I also got that bump on the inside of my nose piercing cause I got lazy with cleaning it, but I read that it's very common with people of ethnic backgrounds to get keloids.

You're welcome! It's so annoying having those bumps! And since my skin is so sensitive I can't use tea tree oil. But I have heard that it does work for making the keloids heal. Other than the tea tree, you can use sea salt or anti bacterial soap. Just make sure to use warm water and really let it soak in the piercing. Also, make sure the sea salt you're using isn't iodized. (:

Tea tree oil is way too harsh for a piercing. do only use sea salt soaks. soap may also be too agressive and they may have added ingredients that do your piercing more harm than good.
