Any of you guys know how to tell if a piercing is irritated, infected, or activity rejecting out of my face? 😐

[Despite the fact that the broadcast did not include video, Lawrence found himself shaking his head like a disappointed teacher. He held the bridge of his nose with thinly veiled frustration.]
To begin, if the piercing with administered using an unclean or unprofessional tool, it may result in infection. You know, the kind of tool that a person that lacks in a particular... financial freedom, would have to use.
[His temper was becoming very apparent.]
Finnigan.
[He stated her name scoldingly, having become familiar with her financial situation.]
This includes but is not limited to needles, safety pins, or any tool that hasn't been properly disinfected prior or you cannot verify as having been sanitized. Even if one says they've sanitized a tool, you cannot trust them at their word!
[His out bust was followed by a sigh that escaped him.]
Infection and rejection have similar symptoms, including redness and heat. However, if the points of entry are swelling and the skin around the piercing is degrading, then it is most likely rejecting. If it is producing pus, crusting, or causing chills, then it may be an infection. Regardless of whichever it is, seek medical help if the pain is noticed.
[His lecture lapsed as he recalled Finn's financial limitations.]
Some at home treatments are possible... if it's rejecting, remove the jewelry, disinfect the wound frequently, and allow time to heal. If it's an infection, do not remove the jewelry as to not confine the bacteria into the wound. Disinfect it frequently, at least twice a day.
[He paused.]
Or don't. It appears to me this is your own fault, so maybe just let the wounds worsen so you'll think twice before doing something so stupid next time.
[Lawrence concluded the broadcast.]
