How to clean piercings: the only thing that can be used in case of infection

So what do you do if your piercing appears infected?   Express.co.uk   shows the only thing you should use in case of a piercing infection.

If you pierce your ears or any other part of your body, you may initially experience bleeding, swelling, tenderness, or bruising.

There may even be a whitish yellow liquid coming out of the piercing, which is likely normal and part of the healing process.

However, if your piercing is leaking pus and the area around it is hot, painful, puffy, and very red or dark, it is likely infected.

You may even feel hot, cold, or uncomfortable.
