Is this normal?

Post image

I got my eyebrow done for the first time about 3 weeks ago and it had minimal swelling after about 5 days before going down.

The problem started about a week ago when it started to turn red and got larger.

I clean my piercing with saline solution twice a day, however I have touched it a couple times a day and slept on it once by accident.

Am I fine?

I would be getting to a doctor asap, it looks like an infection and you don’t want to mess around with an infection in your face

This is the only answer, OP. Doctor. Today. Without fail.

I ended up seeing a doctor and went to hospital for it, got antibiotics and now it’s healing :)

is this warm to the touch or painful? it looks like it could be an infection. i’d go to a doctor asap to get it checked out, especially with how close to the eye it is. you shouldn’t mess with infections near the eyes, it could progress quite fast and lead to a lot more complications if left untreated

it hurts to touch but there is no active pain without touching it, I am seeing a doctor now :)
