What are some signs that could mean my industrial piercing is infected?

I got an industrial piercing 3 weeks ago and I am super paranoid it's going to get infected... Are there any sign of infection I should look for instead of just obsessively checking a billion times a day?



A lot of people get infection and irritation mixed up.


Infections are: hot to the touch, red, swollen, yellow/green pus, and usually has an odor.


In the event you do have an infection, do NOT remove the jewelry (you'll get an abscess) and see your doctor right away.




-Inflammation


-Redness


-Sore


-Warm to the touch


-Malodorous dark yellow/green/brow/red pus


-Bump [or bumps] that look like big boils


-Fever
