I got my nose pierced about 5 days ago. For the first two days, it was not red or tender. But starting the third day, it became just a tiny bit red around it and its tender. There is no pus or anything, but there is just a bit of a crust every time i go to clean it.

Could it be infected? Or are these just normal signs of healing?

Thanks!

it starting to heal.. its normal.. if it were infected it would have pus already and hurt alot more. just continue to clean it and you'll be fine

That's completely normal, no worries.

That's supposed to happen, just make sure you keep it clean.
