Infected Lip Piercing

I good piercer would never have told you that. A good piercer would reccomend comming back in to switch the jewelry before its healed, only if there is a problem. Soak with a salt solution and use mouthwash. Just keep it clean and the swelling sould go down. Apply a warm washrag 4 times a day to speed up healing.

You need to get it pierced with a long bar… and don’t switch it until a month or more… and everytime you eat rinse your mouth out with LISTERINE … And let it close and heal and try to do it again the way I said =) hope I helped…!

I’d keep a long post labret stud in it at the moment… You should wait at LEAST 6weeks to change it.

Continue with the salt soaks on the outside. And rinse your mouth after every meal with ALCOHOL FREE mouthwash. =]

And if the lump [[which I’m going to assume is an irritation or infection]] dosen’t start to go down in the next few days, I’d go see a doctor…

Good Luck =]

Wash it with a salt water. Yee that works for alll infected piercings

that’s because the piercer is an idiot you cant change it after one week its a wound, and NO wound has healed within a week piercings take on average at least 3 months to heal and you should leave it in for at least 3 months before attempting to change it because you changed it sooner you aggravated the area so now its going to take a lot longer to heal and yes its swelled up because you aggravated it by taking it out so soon if you can, go back to the piercer and tell them they were wrong a person like that shouldn’t be piercing anyone if they cant give you the RIGHT information about it leave the piercing in but it will take longer to heal the swelling and redness should go away within a week and don’t change it for at least 3 months from when you took it out or if you want, take it out after those 3 months and let the hole close up also yes, continue the sea salt soak but dont do it too often once a day is more than enough also, don’t get anything else pierced by that idiot
