How do i tell if my eyebrow ring is infected or just irritated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well: Redness, pain, swelling, and warmth are ahllmarks of infection. In general, a peircing in that area is prone to infection so take it out if these signs are presnent, the hardware can make it almost impossible to clear an infection because the bacteria stays on it despite clearing the tissue.
