Dissolve a teaspoon of sea salt in a glass of warm water. Dab the infected area with this saline water using a cotton ball. This will help drain the puss and reduce the swelling. If this does not help, antibiotics may be needed.

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.

Answer 4

If it is truly infected, see your doctor. A lot of people confuse infections with just irritations though, so see a trusted piercer if you are unsure.
