Answer #1

well… …the swelling is completely normal. it will be swelled up for at least 3 days and then go down, so dont worry about that. … theres also a pretty high risk of infection if you and her did it yourself, because your not a qualifyed peircer and only know how to stick a needle through some skin. peircing is a lot more than that. …you can eat the foods youd norally eat. …to clean the lip try a sea salt soak. get a cup of warm water and add a table of sea salt in it (sea salt can be picked up at your local supermarket) and keep your lip in it for about 15 minutes a day for a few, or weeks even. …its important that you dont play with it a lot or try to change it. lip rings take on average 3+ months to heal, and its not advised that you take it out for at least 2 months. …if you follow these rules you shouldnt get any infection. remember puss is also normal, your body makes puss to help heal the wound. any more questions, just ask!

Answer #3

I have my lip pierced…and just so you know it is completely normal to have swelling…you just had a neddle stuck through it..your lip is a little pissed! Never clean it with peroxide..you should clean the outside with purified ocean salt water such as H2Ocean…and to clean the inside use mouthwash

Answer #4

okay listen its fine that its puffy it will even get white puss on the back side or the soft inside of your lip its totally normal so dont worry…rub peroxide on it and swish with mouth wash about 3 times a day(after each time you eat) to avoid infection. it will be fine I promise

Answer #5

I agree with rissamonster87. I have had a total of 13 piercings, including 5 in my ears, my nose, tongue, nipples, belly button, and I currently have 3 on my bottom lip.

It is very normal for it to swell. Some people tend to swell more than others after a piercing, depending on how their body takes the fact that it just had a needle put through it. As long as there’s not an abnormal color coming from it, you’re fine on infection.

DO NOT use peroxide. Stay away from that and use saltwater (for outside) of the piercing and use alcohol free mouthwash. But make sure you do not over clean because that can cause irritation and can leave you open for infection.
