Answers:

If your piercing is infected, the skin around the pierced area may be red and swollen. It may hurt when you touch your piercing. You may have a yellowish, foul-smelling discharge coming from the piercing. If you have a fever or experience any of these symptoms, you should see your family doctor.

You need to clean it with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide (the brown bottle. Dial soap does not cut it. It is not bacterial static.
