Best thing to do for nose piercings - allergies?


I had nose surgery (internal and external) about a year and a half ago. Then, I got my nose pierced with a small surgical steel stud about 6 months ago. It got infected within a week and was so bad that I had to go on antibiotics. I miss the piercing and want to do it again, but I am afraid of infection again. I have strange metal reactions and have always had problems with piercings. HELP!! please! :)

Well it sounds like something that would be almost gaurenteed a risk. I understand wanting one though, i'd hate to take mine out.

I'd talk to a professional piercer about this before you do anything drastic, i'm sure they'll know what to do since i'm sure you aren't the first.
