Cleaning the nose piercing with a few simple steps will help prevent pre-existing conditions like infections, allergic reactions or skin damage. Performing regular maintenance will keep your piercing cleaner, more comfortable and easier to clean in the future.(Remember: If you have any problems I recommend visiting a doctor at your earliest convenience!) Antibacterial soap is great at reducing inflammation and clearing up infections. You should soak your nose in it regularly and use a clean cloth to gently wash away any particles that may have fallen into the septum.
