Answer 1

I don't know, but for now you should use peroxide for like 2 weeks, and if it doesn't get better it maybe infected.

Answer 2

yeah thats normal

it will do that off and on till it heals

mine did that also

you just have to clean it more

3 times a day with saline wound wash and 2 times a day with soap

the soap is the best thing to use, but dont use it more than 2 times a day for it will dry out the piercing and make it hard to turn and heal

and make sure your hands are clean

Answer 3

Bruising is normal, its part of the healing process.

Answer 4

do a sea salt soak, boil some water and add non iodized sea salt wait for it to dissolve and the soak for 10 mins once or twice a day. it clears up infected piercings in a week or so, just make sure you do it everyday. for every 250 mls of water add half a tablespoon of salt.
