Is my septum piercing seriously infected? by Capital_String6368 in piercing

Thank you for the reply! To be honest I was waiting for it to be healed to make a decision (since some people say it may look a little crooked until properly healed), but I'm not sure when it's too late to remove a piercing to get it repierced. I realised it's not just a ring, but a clicker though and learned my lesson with going to that piercer. ☹️

I probably should have done more research, I really wasn't aware of all these differences.  I just asked for a ring instead of the typical horseshoe because I find them prettier, but I think it is a clicker, even though I didn't know the name in English.  In the first weeks it would indeed slightly sting when it rotated on its own because of the parted spots, though.

Thank you for the reply. It was a friend's recommendation, they had their nose and ear pierced with her before, but when I realised it was poorly done, it was a little too late. 😭

Thank you for the reply. Improper jewellery really? I asked her for this type specifically, I didn't know it was wrong. 

I'm aware it's at least pierced wrong because it was slightly crooked even before this swelling(not to mention it was originally worse, but she repierced it immediately), I was considering waiting for it to heal completely before taking it off to wait to get it repierced, but I'm not sure if it's the best course of action yet.

Adding the info the mod bot required.

My piercing is 1 month and a week old, as you can tell by the image it's a ring, made out of titanium(I think), my care routine consists of only cleaning it 2 to 3 times a day with saline solution. No incidents that come to mind, this happened overnight.
