how do I know if my lip percing is infected ?

I just got my lip periced like a couple days ago and I did it by my self and like the next day I had a small bubble next to my percing not close but sorda kinda close and it keeped getting bigger then I showed my mom and she said to popped it and I did is that bad the bubble looked like a water bubble

Answer #1

Piercing it yourself was a VERY dumb idea. You should ALWAYS have them done PROFESSIONALLY that way they’re done correctly and will heal up right and you won’t get infection. Yours sounds like it’s infected. I’d advise you take out the jewlery and clean it really good. Don’t put the jewlery back it… leave it out. Let the piercing heal and get it re-done PROFESSIONALLY. That way it’ll turn out the way it should.

Answer #2

A bubble means infection. Piercings should not get a bubble on the side of them. See a doctor before the infection get’s worse of spreads.

Answer #3

use salt water, and listerean it will help a lot (I did my snake bits my self as well so I know what your going threw) ya it most definetly could have been a infection

Answer #4

I did my lip piercing myself and I kinda have the same problem. But I screwed up when trying to but the lip stud in. And insted I had to make a new hole. So I tried 3 times and then got it in. But now I have 3 bubbles. I use sea salt water that doesn’t have iodion in it. Then I swirl that in my mouth for 30 or 60 seconds. Then I clean the outside with a quetip and use sea salt water again. It kinda helps. But use listeren for the inside. Its works a lot better because its mouth wash and kills the germs. Make sure to clean your lip after you eat even if its just a cookie or something. Then before you goto sleep and after you wake up. Thats what I learned and yes we kinda are stupid for doing it ourselfs. My dad said if I would have waited and asked him he would have taken me to get it when I was 14. But I was stupid and did it myself because my mom said when I was 18. But yeah hope this helps you. And I hope it helps me too!!!
