My Piercing Got Infected

Is my nose piercing infected?

EDIT: First of all,dont listen to the person above me. NEVER EVER use rubbing alcohol or peroxide for ANY piercing. Ever. It irritates the crap out of it and dries it up.
Yes,its STARTING to get infected. Mine did the exact same thing right before it got infected. (I had accidentally torn it a bit from getting it snagged on my shirt) Take it out and change it back to the original one RIGHT AWAY. And go out and buy some SEA salt,preferably Morton brand. Clean your nose on the inside and outside 2-3 times a day and it should be better within a week. Hope I helped and good luck! Also,dont change the piercing for AT LEAST 3 months.

Ear piercing got infected?

So, six weeks ago, I got my ears pierced. I never really wanted to before, cuz it was just an ear piercing, everyone has their ears pierced... But I did it anyway, just to get something pierced, and now my left piercing is infected. It's all crusty and gross in the back (*gags*). I couldn't get the studs out, so I had to go back to where I got them pierced, and they took them out. Then the rest of the day I went without my studs in, and when I went to put in the new ones that I bought, they wouldn't go through. So I took the studs and shoved them through, but now it's just like I re-pierced them. What should I do? Should I just keep cleaning them and wait it out for another six weeks, like I just got them done? Is there anything I should do for the infection (besides clean them)??
By the way, I know they're infected because the person at the store told me they were. I'm leaving the backs off of my studs, because they're easier to clean and the backs won't get stuck again.
But do you think I could start changing them now anyway, or should I wait?

Is my ear piercing infected?

I got my ears pierced and it's the same process. I got my ears itching and swollen up the next morning. I let it be on, only to remove that night owing to no signs of healing. But it was just a week for me. My friends say, it took them a month to heal. Some say, when pieced on nerves, it'll never heal at all. But my personal advice is, don't go for gunshots. They take hell loads of time to heal. Use a needle instead.

As for this, leave it on for a couple of more days. If it's fine, leave it as such. Else, ask your doc what can be done. Perhaps, some ointment. If nothing works, take it off.

Is my cartilage piercing infected ?

its irritated and possibly swollen. I did this with my cartilage piercing (omg, hurt so bad) keep cleaning it as usual, never touch it unless your hands are washed. and you should rotate it (i know it hurts, but you have to) honestly, I just took tylenol for my pain & put an ice pack on it (honestly, it helps)♥ It will get better as the days go by. where you hit it, its going to be very tender and irritated and possibly alittle swollen♥

also, with my cartilage I would get strands of my hair "wrapped" around the piercing (on the back) and that irritated my piercing after I got it done (I have long hair) So check in the mirror and see if you have any "hair" wrapped or tangled around your piercing--that will only further aggaravate it♥

if it were infected you would get 'dry goo' around your piercing and sometimes, if you squeeze the area around the piercing, white pus will come out. so beware of 'dry goo' around your piercing jewelry. that means its infected♥

Is my pierced ear infected?

I had this problem the first time I got my ears pierced and I never understood why I couldn't wear earrings, but my friends could. I later found out that the reason they were so irritated and painful was because I was allergic to cheap metals like nickel and sterling silver.

If this is the case for you, try buying some earrings that are surgical steel or titanium. The best places to find these are places like Spencer's and Hot Topic. Places like Walmart and Claire's typically have the cheap jewelry.

Otherwise, clean them with dial soap or a salt water solution very thoroughly, being sure to rotate them often. Don't touch them with dirty fingers or tug on them. If this doesn't work, I would suggest making a visit to your local piercer for professional advice. Good luck!
