What are some symptoms of a nipple piercing being infected?
Signs of an infected piercing Redness, discharge of green puss, swelling, tenderness and possible warm to the touch. The quickest way to resolve an infected piercing is to irrigate the piercing under warm running water while moving the jewellery back and forth through the piercing allowing the water to rinse the jewellery off. If you are using after care products to clean your piercing cease using all of them (this way we can find out if the aftercare product is causing the problem). Irrigating the piercing twice a day under warm water while moving the jewellery will rinse the puss and other matter out of the piercing. Once you have completed the rinsing, dry the piercing with clean tissue and leave it alone, don't apply anything else to the piercing. This should resolve and infected piercing within 24 to 48 hours.

When can you tell if your cheek piercings are infected?
Well when the piercing is red, swollen, discharging green puss, painful and warm to the touch, guess what, "it's infected". See your doctor. If your piercings are red, discharging clear fluid, the piercing appears to be enlarged* (*the jewellery looks like it's floating in space in the piercing), then this is s sign of an allergic reaction, generally due to either the material the piercing was done with or the solution you are using to clean the piercing. Cease using whatever you are using to clean the piercing and see your doctor. If the piercing appears to be normal skin tone and it's discharging clear fluid with no pain or swelling, guess what, your saliva ducts in your cheeks have been cut by the piercing and you need to see a doctor to have the piercing cauterized closed.
