That shouldn't happen unless the piercing is currently infected. If for some reason you do get an abscess you'd just go and see a doctor.
Will taking out an industrial piercing cause infection?
If the piercing is completely healed, no. If the piercing is still fresh/new, possibly. If you remove it, continue to clean & care for it as you would any other wound.
What piercing gets infected easier?
Infection really depends on how you take care of your piercing. But, I'd say that some piercings in the pubic/genital area would be more susceptible to infection.

Im getting an industrial piercing soon is there anything that would lower the pain?
Well you could take some Ibuprofen or Advil before you get the piercing done, but be sure to advise your piercer about your plan before you go for the piercing. Some piercers don't like clients taking any medications unless they are prescribed before a piercing is done. So check with you piercer first.
How long can you take your Monroe piercing out?
If the piercing is over a year old you can remove the Monroe piercing for several hours without fear of the piercing healing closed. Prior to a year you are taking a gamble on how your body will respond to the jewellery being out of the piercing.

How can you make a belly button piercing uninfected without taking the piercing out?
You should never remove the jewelry from an infected piercing. It needs to stay open to drain. The first thing that you should do is to wear only surgical steel, titanium, or glass. Then, go see your doctor. If its actually infected, they should give you antibiotics to clear things up faster. Clean it with natural sea salt and water 2-3 times a day. Put a pinch of natural sea salt into a shot glass of warm water and use that to soak the piercing. If it starts drying out the piercing, cut back to 2 a day and just use warm water for the other cleanings. You can use antimicrobial soap 2-3 times a week but it can be drying. Don't touch the piercing and don't go swimming. Don't use alcohol or peroxide on it ever, no matter who tells you to do it. They just make the piercing raw and delay healing. Try to stay away from sick people so as not to further compromise your immune system.
