    Relax, not every problem with a piercing is an infection, and more often than not infection is confused with irritation.

    Some redness is nothing to worry about in a piercing that's only a few days old. A bit of redness, light bleeding, soreness, and even bruising are (normal) consequences of sticking needles through your body.
