Well it depends on how old you are and a few other factors. Youth and Teens quite often have heart murmurs this isn't a big deal when you figure out that you are still growing and developing you could almost expect it. I know I had a murmur when I was young and I made it this far so.......... Now as for the infection, it depends on how sever the infection is, if its swollen and discharging puss and warm to the touch it's infected and needs to be dealt with asap. If it isextremely swollen discharging puss and blood is warm to the touch and painful you are on the border of it becoming septic and you should get you butt into the doctors office or Emergency and not be gawking at the computer screen. Infections are funny things they can appear to be getting better then turn on you without you knowing it and go from bad to worse that quickly, in fact if left unchecked and infected piercing can go septic and kill you by means of blood poisoning which causes kidneys and other organs to shut down. Not unlike TSS (Toxic shock syndrome) which does the same thing but has less outward indicating signs. Your body is an amazing complex machine with integrated systems that check each other to ensure everything is running at peak levels, when something isn't right it sends you signals to tell you something is out of whack and needs to be looked at. That's why infections indicate themselves with the signs of swelling, pain, heat and discharge of puss, something is wrong and needs to be looked at. If you have an infected piercing wash it with antibacterial soap and pleanty of running water and seek further assistance from a professional body piercer or a doctor.

During the healing process of your navel piercing can you lay out in the sun?

What to do if you have a dark circle around your nostril piercing?
I would say its getting infected. I had a nostril piercing and it gets infected, get a wet towel but it has to be hot and put it on there almost every day ........trust me it works The chances are good that the nostril screw in your piercing is made of Silver and not Surgical Stainless Steel. Silver oxidizes and this tarnishing will actually darken the tissue around the piercing. Changing the jewellery to proper surgical stainless steel body jewellery will resolve the tarnishing issue. Over time with daily washing the darkness around the piercing will wear off and you should be fine.
Does a ear piercing effetion go away?
It should eventually. It takes from a few weeks, to a few months, for a piercing to fully heal.

Once a piercing gets infected, there isn't much you can do besides take advil, wait it out, or remove it all together.

Pretty much all piercings hurt - its just a matter of how much. Most nose piercing hurts about the same as getting an earlobe pierced. Of course there is also soreness after the piercing which usually goes away after it heals up (unless it gets infected).
Why is it not safe to tan after a naval piercing?
You aren't supposed to tan indoors after getting a navel piercing because of the UV rays can dry out your piercing and make it uncomfortable, and if the lotion gets into your piercing it can get infected. Your piercing may take 6-12 months to heal so until then you should take good care of it and avoid tanning and swimming. You should wait until the weather cools down to get your piercing so then you have all winter for it to heal.
