First off NEVER EVER take the piercing out. The infection can get trapped in your body part that is pierced. If you did it professionaly then go back to the piercer then he/she will take care of it. If you did it by yourself then you can still got to a professional piercer for help or you can just clean it with anti-bacterial soap and warm water. Also, never use rubbing alcohol, it dries up the area and traps the infection. I hope this was helpful. Good luck.! :)
