It can. It doesn't have to be infected, it could just be rubbing or something.

u can't clean a piercing too much as long as ur doin it right. don't touch it with your fingers use q tips and only use what the piercer told you to. neosporin will block the pierced hole and prevent it from breathing and it wont heal. jus use anti bacterial soap and saline solution and u should be fine
