| Even with the most stringent of care
regimens, body piercings may still get infected. Generally, a good way to
tell if your body piercing is infected is:
If your piercing hurts
more than normal, is red (or any other color for that matter) and swollen,
oozes and/or feels hot when you touch it, then it certainly may be
infected.
Keep in mind ANY type of infection should
be considered serious. If you think your body jewelry piercing may by
infected, you should seek professional medical attention
immediately!
