Why is my monroe lip piercing super swollen?

I recently got my lip pierced(a monroe) like 3 days ago… Everything was fine till lastnite. I went out and did happen to apply makeup but not to the piercing(but around it). I did drink and have a cigarette(I didn’t bring anything with me to clean it after all of that.) But as soon as I got home I cleaned it really good. While at the bar my ball fell out and didnt have another on hand so I used a eraser till I got to a tattoo place to get another(about an hour in time). When I got home is when I noticed a big difference in the size of my lip…It doesn’t hurt or anything but its so swollen the back of the stud is embedded in the inside of my lip. I clean it with antibacterial soap and listerien. What am I doing wrong, is it infected and what should I do?…any help will do. Thanks

Answer #1

WELL YOUR BEST BET IS IF IT GETS RED AND HAS ANY DISCHARGE ITS INFECTED IF ITS JUST SWOLLEN IT CAN JUST BE IRRITATED

Answer #2

its either infected or irritated especially if you smoked because your not supposed to do that with a new lip ring the make-up around it could also irritae/infect it as can the ball comming off meaning its sliding a lot more in your lip go back to the piercer and ask them how they think its going and if its going to heal properly or if its infected
