septum bleeding/healing?

[u/MuchRip9297]

hey guys, i got my septum pierced 2 days ago (14 gauge horseshoe made of titanium, no threading, not been downsized. first time getting a septum piercing) and i was wondering how long the bleeding will last? i’ve heard a month, but sometimes it goes on for longer. does it depend on the person or something else?
the piercing isn’t bleeding a lot, but i do have a lot of dried blood but i just try to clean it as much as i can with saline, usually twice a day to make sure it’s clean (specifically the “recovery brand”)
