    I don't know if it's infected. It sounds infected, of course. You need to see a Physician or, minimally, the person who pierced it. These infections can get very ugly very quickly. What was the advice about swimming?

    Surgical spirits or rubbing alcohol should NOT be put on your piercing. And yes, the chlorine plus bacteria in the swimming pool Did nothing for, basically, an open wound.

    Clean it with only salt water and clean cloths.
