Answer: Not trying to berate you or anything, but before I answer your question, I’d like to remind you (and everyone else) that the Submission box is for pictures/selfies, while the Ask box is for questions like this.
Anyways, as for your nose bump. It might go down on it’s own, and it might not. If it’s infected, even taking out your piercing might not help it alone. You can try one of the solutions listed in the FYNR FAQ for your bump, and if none of those works, you should see a doctor.
Your piercing hole should close up soon enough. I can’t say exactly when, as some people’s piercings close up much faster than others. But it will close up eventually.
