[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Low platelet counts associated with ITP can lead to excessive bleeding during nose pairing. If the ITP is under control and platelet count has improved, you can get the piercing done. However, the piercing should be safe and carried out clean needle to avoid transmission of blood-borne infections. Shingles is not a contraindication because it has not involved the dermatome which supplies the nose. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
