Infected lip piercing

2018-01-08 12:05:00
I pierced my lip myself on the 31st of December. Now its swollen a week later. It burns and it hurts and is oozing thick yellow puss. I also had my tongue done eyebrow and both nipples the very next day. I only see sins of infection in the lip. The jewelry is black. I was told it was surgical steal. But I'm concerned the black is a coating over the metal. Could that be what is causing my infection? Can I take it out? I have no clue what to do.
