    Just go back into the parlor where you got it done.
    They will take a look at it and let you know whether you should see a doctor ;)

    Then get yourself into a doctor straight away.

    Piercings are NOT something that should be done at home due to the high risk of infection.
    Piercing parlors have special sterilization equipment.
