Is there something wrong with my piercing?
I got my labret pierced 4 weeks ago…some people told me it should be pretty close to being healed by now, but it doesnt feel like it. Ive done the sea salt soaks, ive washed my mouth out, ,kept my hands clean and everything, but it feels like theres something wrong with it. I know my body's not rejecting it because it was perfectly fine for a while but one day my ball came off my ring so i tugged on it for like an hour trying to get it back on because i didnt want my ring to fall out while i was sleeping..it swelled up for a while after that and now its very sensitive and it feels like there's a lump on the inside of my lip right underneath the piercing…its not dead skin because the dead skin already fell off, it feels like a knot or like there's a bead or something underneath my skin. im just confused because it looks fine on the outside and it only has crusties on it when i first wake up…so could it be infected? i need any info i can get about what it could be and how i can take care of/ handle it.

you pulled at it .its swelling from the abuse to the still fresh wound. the lump is likely to be scar tissue from where the hole is now and will go away most likely never bad to be too safe and see a doc if youre concerned.dependin on how fast your body heals will obviously depend how long the piercing takes to heal not everyone is the same some might heal in a week some might take 10weeks.if youre genuinely worried somethin is wrong pop and see your gp or piercer. they will help you.but sounds to me like swelling from the tugging and scar tissue.leave it alone dont pull at it just clean it plus pullin at it and biting it is a really bad habit to get into (i do it alot and broke my teeth) it doesnt sound infected just inflamed and swollen. keep cleaning it stop pulling at it and when you clean it make sure the balls on tight enough every time. once it is healed jus every now and then make sure the ball is tight enough to avoid losing more i must have lost around 15 balls with my first lip piercing lol.hope it gets better soon if not see your piercer or doctor. x Source(s): iv had 15 piercings 4 in my lip
