I got my nose pierced on April 12, 2026, and about a month later I changed the stud to a gold ring. After switching, this small white bump showed up next to the piercing.

It’s slightly raised but completely painless, even if I touch or poke it. No redness, swelling, heat, or discharge either and the ring is moving fine thankfully so idt the hole has the bump ig its sligthly above it. As for care i only use the after piercing lotion once a day daily.

The piercer said it looked infected, but I’m wondering if this seems more like an irritation bump/pustule from changing jewelry too early rather than an actual infection.

Anyone had something similar happen?
