it’s most likely the healing process; that happened to my friend. just keep it clean and wear loose fitting, clean clothes. try not to mess with it and keep an eye on it. it doesn’t look too irritated, from what i’m seeing in the photos. :]

A little bit worried my piercing is about a week old I clean it twice a day and I had no irritation at first but now it’s red around the top and has been more sore I think it swelled up more also I can feel it super easy under the skin
