the best advice i can give you is to go back to your piercer. they have specialized tools to help remove these piercings safely. it's not likely the piercing has become ingrown. it's much more likely the darn thing is just stuck! however if there is a problem with the piercing your piercer should be able to recommend a course of action. if you get infections around the piercing i'd suggest you see your primary health care provider. these infections can turn serious and it's lucky yours have all cleared up. hope this helps!
my nose ring is stuck and won't come out. what can i do? . i have had a nose piercing for about 3 5 years. i usually have many infections but i haven't had any for a couple of months. i want to change the piercing now but i can't seem to get this one out no matter how much i tug. i am worried that the skin has healed over the piercing making it stuck. i don't know how to remove it without breaking the skin and risking another infection. . p. s it is a nose bone but i have been able to remove nose bones in the past despite it being painful.
