Infection: What you described suggests an infection. Apply triple antibiotic ointment, available over the counter. See a doctor as you may require systemic antibiotic. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines.

Piercing: This could represent an infection. Medical assessment can help to rule that out.
