How do you tell if your piercing is infected?
I got my cartilage pierced 2 weeks ago, and today it's gotten really red and very swollen. Maybe it's from irritation, like hitting it, but I'm not sure. How do you tell if it's infected? |

No puss or anything...but I can't take it out because it's only been 2 weeks, they told me not to take it out for 6. I think it may be just from irritation...I mean, I know it's supposed to hurt a while after...but yeah. The swelling did go down a little...but if it does get infected I should just get meds? I really dont wanna take it out and then have to get ir re-pierced and go through this pain in the ass, can't sleep on i crap. I went to get my hair cut today, and lemme tell ya, when the brush gets caught on it - ow.
...and I never thought of antibacterial soap...I just used alcohol. |

All my piercings that I have recved I was always told never ever to use alcohol because it causes your piercing to dry and get even more krusty and could cause it not to heal right. Antibacterial soap is the way to go im telling you
