Infection isn't something to play with. If you have an infection, go to the doctor. You're gonna need antibiotics so you need a prescription from a doctor. Walk-in clinics are an option if you don't have a doctor that you visit regularly. If you try to treat the infection on your own and it spread, you could run into major problems, sepsis being one of them. Don't risk spreading the infection or facial scarring to save a few bucks. Go to a doctor as soon as you can to clear up the infection quickly.

First off, if its infected, be sure to go to the doctor. They'll probably prescribe an antibiotic, which will prevent complications from the infection and will help clear the infection up a lot quicker. it really depends on the severity of the infection and how well you care for the piercing. The infection should clear up within 4 weeks but the piercing will take longer to heal because of the trauma caused by the infection.
Can you get your snakebites infected if you take them out after getting them done?
You shouldn't remove any piercing until after they are entirely healed. If the piercing is already infected, removing the jewelery could cause the piercing to heal over trapping the infection inside the skin which will require medical attention. But if you don't have a choice, or you've decided that you don't want the piercing anymore, (only if the piercing is NOT infected) you can take the piercing out to let it grow over, and as long as you continue aftercare until the piercing is entirely healed you shouldn't get an infection.
How long does it take a tough piercing to heal?
Well the piercing will take as long as it needs to heal, not all people are created equally and we all heal at various rates based on health diet and aftercare. Normally theaverage healing time is between 6 to eight weeks for a light heal however health can be a factor in this estimate. This is only a light heal no professional piercer will consider a piercing healed until it's a full year old and seasoned (toughened up).

It should eventually. It takes from a few weeks, to a few months, for a piercing to fully heal. If your piercing isn't healing properly, or begins to ooze or bleed, you may need to to remove the piercing all together, let it heal, and then possibly try again. Once a piercing gets infected, there isn't much you can do besides take advil, wait it out, or remove it all together.
Is it normal for yellow stuff to come out of a lip piercing?
If its a really light whitish/yellow, its normal. If its darker or has a green tint to it, its possibly infected. Other signs of infection are discoloration around the piercing, swelling, tenderness, and itchiness. If its a new piercing, these symptoms are normal. They become problematic when they last longer than 2 weeks. If you're playing with it or aggravating it while you eat, it might take longer to heal and be angrier longer. If you think its infected, go see your piercer to have them confirm or deny your suspicion. Then, if it is infected, go see a doctor. Hope this helps! :)
