Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I got my nose pierced 8 days ago. Today i saw a crust on my nose pin. I have been cleansing my piecing with packed sterile saline solution. After that i let it dry for a minut or two and then cover the piercing with polyfax skin ointment. Would my nose piercing be healed? Should i continue this procedure?
Crusting is normal phenomenon of healing process. The procedure you are following will definitely heal pierced nose in next 3-4 days. Continue what you are doing if there is no signs of inflammation like pus discharge and pain.
