Generally you will know your piercing is infected if the following 3 symptoms are present: 1. the openings are red not just pink and may burn 2. the area is feverish 3. there is puss at or coming out of the openings. If all 3 of these symptoms are not present you probably just have a slight irritation and can usually be remedied by going back to the cleansing regimen you used when you first got your piercing for 2-5 days.
