Healing of nose piercing
I got a nose piercing a week back and two days later the area around it got swollen. I started applying ointment and the swelling and soreness is now decreasing every day. I consulted a doctor who prescribed an antibiotic for 3 days and another ointment. My nose jewelry is still in its place but is not visible. I fear it getting embedded or will it become visible once the swelling and soreness goes away? How long does it usually take to heal and what care tips should I follow?
