hi!!

i got my first piercing, a septum, about a day or two ago, on the 16th, and woke up late to some bleeding. i know the bleeding is normal, but it's ended up crusting completely around the bar, and is making it a little uncomfortable to move my nose or the skin around it.

any tips on how and when i should try to get this off? im aware of the idea that most crusties will come off when they're ready during showers or cleanings, but the blood coating the whole bar on this side makes me worry.

thank you so much!
