#4 Cheek piercing diary.... Infected ouch it hurts it really really hurts

OUCH! My face is on fire and feels tight. I woke up this morning with white pimples all around my piercings so after cleaning it 4 times with chamomile tea and sea salt the bumps seem to fade away but in it's place is a red hard blotch around the hole. It could be one of four things:


#1. I went to an awesome concert screamed and hollered  way too much. the white bump and blotch is a callus
#2.I used this 

I saw my friend using it on her infected nose piecing so I thought I'd try. BIG MISTAKE I woke up the next day (same day as the concert) feeling dry, slept, and woke up with the bumps maybe I burnt them with the cleaner?
#3. drank root beer for first time in two months and ate pizza with hot sauce I heard thats bad
#4. It could be my body rejecting it or migration. As with any other surface piercing-especially those in high traffic areas (cheeks) rejecting and migration is super common.

or it could be a mixture of all of the above. My cheek hurts but I can't take the jewelry out, if my cheeks are infected I wouldn't want to trap the infection in my skin. 


I guess the best I can do is pray... and call my piercer in the morning see what they say.

Not regretting it yet!
