Does Antibacterial Soap And Peroxide Help In Infected Piercing?
I had a piercing recently done, and while cleaning it I noticed a soft bubble. I tried to get a better look, and I ended up tearing the bubble. It start bleeding. It is right above the piercing. Is it infected? I used antibacterial soap, some peroxide and salt water soak after. Will this help?

Hi,
Yes, your piercing seems to be infected. Antibacterial soap, peroxide and salt water soak will help remove the pus and heal it.
However, the permanent solution is removing your piercing.
All the best!
