What do I do about an inflammation from a piercing?

Make sure to keep the area extra clean. Clean it two times a day. Your body is adjusting to the new hole. Keeping the area clean will decrease inflammation. Sometimes, if the inflammation persists for more than one month, you may need to take out the piercing.
