Since we cannot see your piercing, we don't really know.

Here are some signs of infection:

  • pus
  • heat (test the area with the back of your hand and compare it to the heat of another part of your body - infected tissue is noticably hotter than your normal skin temperature)
  • redness, especially with streaks
  • swelling
  • pain
