Could be: I think it means these piercings are upsetting your body and need to be removed. Doesn't seem to be getting better. Be well!

Complication: Piercing places you at increased risk for infection. Currently you are not describing any infection symptoms, such as redness, swelling, increased warmth or a bad smelling discharge with a green or yellow color. This sounds like a complication of piercing.

If you have swollen lymph nodes (anywhere), would that mean that there is some sort of infection, which may cause a higher white blood cell count?
