I'm really concerned about my nose piercing. It's been 4 months and it hasn't healed properly yet. There's no pain, but it's discolored and there's redness around the piercing. Plus, there's this black mark and a bump that's not making it look neat at all. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?

It seems like you may be experiencing a keloid or hypertrophic scar formation around your nose piercing. To help with the healing process and reduce the discoloration and bump, you can try using over-the-counter silicone gel sheets to flatten and reduce the scar tissue. Additionally, applying a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day can help reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid any trauma to the piercing site.

View allI've got an abrasion on my left wrist and I put some antiseptic ointment on it. I'm a bit unsure if I should cover it up with a bandage or just leave it open. Also, there's a little bit of liquid coming out of the wound. What should I do?
For an abrasion wound like yours, it is recommended to cover it with a bandage to protect it from dirt and bacteria, which can help prevent infection. You can use a sterile gauze pad and secure it with medical tape. Make sure to change the bandage regularly, at least once a day or whenever it gets wet or dirty. As for the liquid coming out of the wound, it is likely serous fluid, which is a normal part of the healing process. It helps keep the wound moist and aids in the formation of new tissue. However, if the fluid is excessive, discolored, or has a foul odor, it may indicate infection, and you should seek medical attention. To help with healing, you can also consider using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the wound before covering it with a bandage.
