Keep the area well lubricated. Use neosporin, not vaseline. It could be that it got tugged on something without you being aware of it.
See how it looks tomorrow. If you go to a doctor, they always tell you to remove the piercing.
If there is still an issue the next day, go see a professional piercer. Do what the piercer says. He can't give you medical advice, so if they say "see your doctor". Then you better go see your doctor!
Good luck Hon!

classic infection signs. if it was an allergic reaction, it would ahve shown up soon after you swtich balls not 2 weeks later. give it a throughly cleaning with mild soap or salt water and get your butt to the place that did the piercing. most places dont change for that kind of after care and will give you far better advice than anyone here could.

Well, I could have warned you. Why not just take the silly thing out and let the hole heal up? As long as it's there, it is going to be a source of infection, and frankly, the kind of men you attract with it are not the best sort.

Sounds like you have an infection. Try some antibiotic cream. If it doesn't heal up soon, you may need to see your doctor.

I'd go to the doctor and check with him/her,and in the meanwhile take it out so it might possibly stop it from getting worse.

It's infected. rub some ice on it in a circular motion and then suck on the nipples for a little bit you bad girl.

I have had mine for several years. Mine still act up from time to time. Just keep cleaning it with anti bacterial soap.
