Answers:

Hmmm....looks infected.

The best way to clean new piercings is with boiled salt water, three times a day, and to turn the piercing in the hole.

You're supposed to do this every day for at least a month, and then you are only supposed to change the jewellery in them after two months to really allow it enough time to heal up.

As it's infected, you should go to your GP who will give you antibiotic cream to use after bathing it in the way described above.

The cream my friend was given just the other week to use on her piercing (which looks like yours) is called Fucidin.

Its clearing up already and is looking much less inflamed now.

While the wound is open, you shouldn't be using any soap on it at all as it can get trapped in there and cause the piercing to go septic-looks like this may have happened to you. I'd suggest going to the doctor now to get it looked over and get some antibiotic cream.
