Answers:
if you only got it done a week ago then it can often be known for it to be red or swollen for a while and also to get a watery liquid or even some puss coming out of it i know allot of people that have had this done myself included,i had allot of swelling and puss come out of mine bathe it twice a day at least with warm salt water with a cotton bud and it should be fine after a week or two if the problem persists than it may well be that you have a nickel allergy, which my sister has she had hers taken out an when she had it done again she had a real gold one in and now its fine her skin tore off from around the ring but if you say its watery than do what i said an you may be kWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would say that you not only got chemicals, but whatever OTHER stuff that you can only imagine that was in the pool!. Yes it is infected!. However, you may be able to get through it without going to a doctor, by taking proper care of it now!. I would watch it very closely to be sure it doesn't get any worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Give it a good rinse with a mixture of noniodized or kosher salt and warm water on a cotton ball!.

Most likely it's starting to become infected, so try to prevent it! Clean it with the saltwater as much as you can, or at least clean it with an antibacterial soap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok well im glad you no that it was quite stupid to go into a chlorine filled pool two days after!.!.!.

as for weither its healing or infected, it is hard to say!.!. im not a doctor, just a biology professor!.!.!. therefore i urge you to go see your family doctor before its too lateWww@Answer-Health@Com

please do not look to Y!A for an answer to this!. Just get in the car and get to your doctor!.

assume it's infected, get it checked out!.

Infections from things like this can actually turn very serious!. Don't mess around, better safe than sorry!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you did the piercing yourself, you might have a little trouble!. Going swimming, ESPECIALLY after getting a piercing is not such a wise choice!. Listen to the people above, they have solutions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like it's infected!. If it's red and swollen then I think it is!. Just keep cleaning it out,but if you start to see puss then you'll have to take it out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its probably reacting to the pool water!. just give it a few weeks, if it doesn't clear up then have a doctor or the piercer look at it!.
but it should clear up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
