The tell-tale signs of an infected septum piercing looks similar to that of any other piercing. According to authoritytattoo.com, if the piercing area begins to ooze colored discharge or becomes excessively swollen or painful, then you may have an infection. Treatment options vary based on the severity of the infection, but it is always best practice to check with you piercer or a medical profession to properly treat the infection.
How often you switch out your jewelry is up to you, but you should wait until your piercing is at least fully healed. "I usually recommend going to a professional to have it changed for at least your first time," Gottschalk said. "You should have them show you how to do it so that you can then do it safely."
The cost of a septum piercing varies based on numerous thing like geographical location, the experience level of your piercer, as well as the jewelry material used. Expect to pay anywhere from $50 and up when getting this piercing.
