What Are The Red And Purple Lines Around The Piercing?
Hi, I just got my belly pierced about 2 days ago and it really hurts. It is all red and swollen around the piercing, the swelling is going down but it is all red with purple lines through it. I wanted to know what these lines are and if they are dangerous for my health. How do I get rid of them?
