A member asked:
I have a pierced nipple and it is now infected so what can you do for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor: Some mild redness around a piercing site could be normal but only an examination by a medical professional can determine if you really have an infection. If infected, you'll probably need antibiotics in addition to good hygiene of the area.
