is it infected?

Home More advice Health

Hello! I just got my lip piercing done 2 days ago. in the pamflit, it talked about swelling, tenderness, bruesing, and after a few days, a whiteish/yellowish liquid it stated not puss.

anyways, today I have been noticing a somewhat burning sensation, hard to explain.

so, naturally I treated it with sea-salt (swished in the mouch, making the rod of the stud expose a bit, to get behind the flat peice, then dipped a q-tip in it and swabbed around the ball of the stud, exposing that and of the rod aswell)

about 10 minuts later, I pushed on the end inside my mouch just barly, (old habbit,) and I got this stiging sensation, only got it when I moved the peircing. I went to the bathroom to se what the hell was going on. I pushed on it exposing behind the ball of the stud, and saw the liquid. seemed to be a bit soon I think, but I used paper towel and wiped it of, along with some verry light blood. the bad stinging stopped, but I still get a burning feeling with redness around the piercing on the outside.

am I usung the sea-salt too much? or is it really infected??

much apreciation!
