How do i know if my lip piercing is infected?
Oh yes...your first piercing :) I was as worried as you when i got my snakebites. Here is what you need to know: 1) Your piercing is only 2 days old! It's takes at least 6 weeks (and for some longer) to heal. Your piercing being red, crusty, swelled up and irritated is totally normal for the first week to two weeks. 2) It's awesome that you are using mouthwash and cleaning it as often as you can. But remember that your body is amazing at healing wounds. After the first two weeks calm down on the cleaning and let your body do some of the work. 3) Playing around with it will irritated and possibly get it infected. Depending on how much you are playing around with it and how clean you hands and mouth are. Sometime you can't help it but it is crucial for you to stop and let it heal for at least 2 weeks. 4) Even after it's heal make sure you keep up with the mouthwash and every other week take out your piercing and jewelry and wash it in mouthwash. The piercing and jewelry will develop a funky smell because of food and bacteria getting stuck in the hole. And cleaning it will help minimize the odor. 5) Everyone heals at differently but as long as you keep that area clean and leave it alone. you should be fine. it's probably one of the most common piercings and the easiest to upkeep and heal. :) have fun and enjoy it
How do I know if my nose piercing is infected?
I had this kind of infection on my nose piercing once. The easiest way to take care of this VERY minor infection is to simply clean it and don't touch it or remove it. I recommend using an unscented antibacterial soap in the morning and at night. Also, sea salt soak helps tons :] If it remains infected for longer than a week, I'd recommend seeing your doctor; you'll probably be prescribed a minor antibiotics. Remember, your nose is a very high-traffic area for foreign contaminants, especially in new piercings. Just keep it clean and leave it alone and it will be fine!

How to tell if a nose piercing is infected?
I've had my nose pierced for around 2 weeks now, and i'm pretty paranoid about infections and everything.... So thats what brings me here to hopefully have my question answered. I've read up on how to identify if your nose piercing is infected, and yet im still not so sure if mine is or not. I notice some tenderness around the piercing but only after i've moved the piercing if its uncomfortable, or after i've cleaned it. Also, after using tweezers to clean out any dry crusties from around the outside of the stud, i noticed some discharge (not alot) building up. Now, everyone says that this is a sure sign of infection, it doesn't "smell" and it isn't excessive. Can anyone help me? also, i've been cleaning my piercing religiously 3 times a day with wound wash saline.

Infected piercings emit a foul odour and have a green /white pus discharge rather than the yellowish or clear crusties. There will probably a swelling and some pain as well,however, all piercings swell up and feel sore when they are fresh. In case of infection ,you might also feel feverish /rundown. Try seasalt soaks from day 1 of the piercing . If in doubt whether you have an infection, go to your pierced or a doctor. And never play /fiddle with your new piercing +do not sleep on the side where it s pierced.
