Does anyone know of a reputable body piercer in Manhattan. I have a nose piercing lump problem & need advice.?

Apparently it is called a ';granuloma'; - some people say to to put tea tree oil on it to encourage it to dry up and peel off - does anyone know about these things?Does anyone know of a reputable body piercer in Manhattan. I have a nose piercing lump problem %26amp; need advice.?
Every morning, clean it with antibacterial soap. Then apply the tea tree oil. Try to do this once in the morning, and before you go to bed. If you have time and can remember, apply the tea tree oil in the middle of the day (lunchtime). It may take about two weeks or so, but it should gradually get smaller.





You can also try using hydrocortisone cream. Apply the hydrocortisone cream 4-6x/day for 2 weeks.





It might be hypertrophic scarring. You can read about it here:

Or granuloma. There's a first-hand experience with a granuloma on a nose piercing here:

I don't think it's a keloid, a more serious form of scarring, but you can read about them here:
