I got my nose pierced a few days ago, and anyway, I was wondering if I can change the stud? I don't see what's so wrong about putting in a new one. I don't know what can happen if you change it to quickly. You guys have any idea? Or do you think I can change it and not be at risk for any issues? Thanks!

I think you have to wait a month or so. What did the person that pierced your nose say about how long to wait? I would wait another month or so. Perhaps you should look online.

I guess you can change it, but you risk a chance of infection and it also will hurt like hell.
Especially since she's only had it for a few days. |

I took it out once already, and that didn't hurt, it hurt to put it back in. I don't see how it can get infected if you literally have the other ring out for seconds before you put in the new one.
Hmmm |

As far as I know, It can get infected because you're exposing a wound to open air. Bacteria is in the air....therefore, bacteria exposed to wound. 2nd, you hafta make sure the new one you're putting in is sterilized really well, and really, when you put your fingers on the new ring you're going to put in, that already puts bacteria and all that fun stuff on it.
And really, listen to Felicia...she knows all

You have to wait a while so it won't close up.
A long while. D: |

Well...I can only touch my piercing after I wash my hands with antibacterial soap, I have H2Ocean to clean it, and if I take this stud out, wash my piercing and then put H2Ocean on it, put the new stud in, and do it again, I figured I'm good to go? Anyway, I have to wait until tomorrow obviously, it's just that everything in Bergen County in NJ, where I went to see my parents, where I got my piercing too, is closed...so I thought I'd ask the cB crowd =o)
