General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms could be due to infection, allergic reaction. Take following advises: Gently remove your nose ring/ nose pin and do not wear them again till you get the infection resolved. Apply Triple antibiotic ointment two times a day. Clean the area of infection with antiseptic solution like savlon/dettol. Do not touch with dirty hand. Keep the area clean and dry. Contact Primary care physician if it does not resolve in next 4-5 days.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
