Signs of an infected piercing
Redness, discharge of green puss, swelling, tenderness and possible warm to the touch. The quickest way to resolve an infected piercing is to irrigate the piercing under warm running water while moving the jewellery back and forth through the piercing allowing the water to rinse the jewellery off. If you are using after care products to clean your piercing cease using all of them (this way we can find out if the aftercare product is causing the problem). Irrigating the piercing twice a day under warm water while moving the jewellery will rinse the puss and other matter out of the piercing. Once you have completed the rinsing, dry the piercing with clean tissue and leave it alone, don't apply anything else to the piercing. This should resolve and infected piercing within 24 to 48 hours.

∙ 12y agoTypically, nipple piercings take anywhere from 6-9 months to heal. My piercer told me a year, which is playing it on the safe side. Short-term healing period is about two months. This just means that you are "safe" to switch your jewelry out after two months. For some people, it's still not a good idea. It all depends on how well you take care of your body while your piercing is healing.
If you're experiencing bleeding (within the first couple weeks) or crusting up around your piercings, they are still healing. Tenderness is also a sign that your body is still getting used to the piercings. If you're still frequently experiencing any of these "symptoms," then your piercings are probably not healed.

Can you get an innie nipple pierced?
An inverted or occluded nipple piercing needs to be done by an experienced professional body piercer who knows how to properly do an inverted nipple piercing. The technique is some what different from a standard nipple piercing, skill and knowledge needs to be used in order to correct the inversion. I have done many of these "repair" piercings with the end result being a proper outward displaying nipple. The inversion is partly due to the beast connective tissue and how the ducts and nipple connective tissue seems to be too short thus causing the nipple to be inverted. So find your self a body piercer who has at least 5 years of better of actual piercing experience or be prepared to travel to have it done correctly. Knowledge of human anatomy is a must to complete this piercing properly, but trust me once it's done right and healed you will be very pleased.

How can get your nipples back to normal after you take the piercing out?
Well if it's male nipples and they have enlarged already, it's too late. Once the nipple enlarges, which it always does with male nipples, then there is nothing you can do. it's going to stay that way. It's a normal thing the body does to compensate for the jewellery in the piercing. Once the jewellery is taken out it will shrink a bit but not as it was prepiercing. Now if it's a female nipple and the piercing has enlarged the nipple it too is a done deal and will not return to the "before piercing look" once it's pierced and healed it's like that to stay. However with the jewellery removed from the piercing and left out perminently the nipple will receed a little over time (6~8 months) but it will still be noticably larger than the unpierced nipple. This is why most body piercers do not want to pierce just one nipple because people eventually want the nipples the way they were before the piercing. If both nipples are pierced and healed then when the jewellery is removed the nipples will receed a bit and at least look similar without the piercing holes being noticable. Sensitivity with the nipples will also return but only after an extended period of time, they will never be hyper sensitive like the prepiercing sensation but they will become sensitive as they are with jewellery in the piercing.

Tongue is getting infected from getting it pierced?
Well unless you did the piercing yourself, the chances your tongue is getting infected from it being done by a professional body piercer working in a licensed and inspected shop is slim to nil. The only way a professionally done piercing will get infected is through client abuse or neglect, failure to maintain correct aftercare and personal hygiene is the only means that will cause an infection. So if you ignore your piercing, fail to keep it clean and fail to follow your written aftercare instructions, yes you will wind up with and infection. But you will never wind up with an infection from a professionally performed body piercing.

Ways of keeping your smiley piercing from getting infected?
Repeat infections and generally not infections, I would lean toward there being an issue with the jewellery used in the piercing. If you are following a daily aftercare routine then you should have no issues with your piercing, so it only leave the jewellery as a possible cause for the problems. Go have a chat with your professional body piercer and see what he/she comes up with.
