Keeping this in view, how do you stop a piercing from embedding?
If you cannot reach your piercer anytime soon, there are a few things you can do to help minimize the embedding/swelling. Resting, ice and anti-inflammatory medication from a pharmacy or supermarket can greatly help until you can get the piercing changed.
Moreover, is my eyebrow piercing infected?
In the case of eyebrow piercings, infections are often noted by inflammation to the area and soreness in, on, or around the piercing site. They can swell up days, weeks, or even months after getting it done. The entire area may get shiny, itchy, and red, and there may be a yellow, green, or bloody discharge.
