Why is my monroe piercing red around the hole & raised?

I got it about 9 days ago. My lip itself isnt swollen But around the hole its red in a circle and its kinda raised up a little bit more then my regular skin. Im freaking out, I dont want it to be infected which I doubt it is because I clean it w/ saline solution and antibacterial soap a few times a day..but why does it look like that? Should I be freaking out?? Did this happen to you? If so what did you do to fix it and how long did it take to back to normal?? Please give advice loves. (:
