What is a good way to help a swolen monroe?

I got my monroe peirced a few days ago. after 24 hours it started to swell. it dosnt hurt that much so I highly dobt its infected, but it looks like I got punched in the face its so puffy! how much swelling is normal? and the best way to make it go away =/

Answer #1

A reaction to an injury to a delicate body part normally caused by fluid billed up, takes about week or so for your body to absorb most of the fluid. Just be sure to keep it clean and don’t play with the piercing, that will only prolong the swollen area. If it goes beyond 2 weeks and you’ve been keeping it clean, you may want to consider seeing a physician. If it’s a whole part of your face, then maybe more sooner than later for a physician.

Answer #2

its basically just the right side of my upper lip. the only thing is its not just the skin around the peircing, its the actual lip. I know its only been 48 hours but im just a little concerned because I look funny =/

Answer #3

Again, your body reacting to the self infliction by pumping fluid to the injury to help fight off infection. Just keep an eye on it. Did you go to a professional to have it pierced? They should have given you a set of instructions on the care of this.

Answer #4

dont touch it at all! like never, not even a bit! not even the stud! do not put your fingers anywhere near it! not even once! just leave it and it should go down, if it dosent then see a doctor. I got the top of my ear pierced and it got so infected that I had to have surgery to remove it. like seriously, dont even touch it a bit.

Answer #5

Swelling is normal with any kind of piercing. Make sure you’re cleaning regularly. Wash your hands before and after you clean the area of the piercing.

A good solution to use is saline and you can make a similar thing yourself by placing a pinch of sea salt in a 3/4 full glass of warm water. Dip cotton wool/buds in it and hold onto the piercing and the area surrounding it for around 10 minutes. Try and do this no more than twice a day.

Good luck!

Answer #6

Its normal, when I had my lip pierced it was swollen for a week. I kept ice on it and it seemed to help but only time will make it go away.
