How Do You Know When Your Lip Piercing Is Infected?

when it swells a great deal and green and dark yellow stuff starts coming. Also the piercing may smell or start to drain into the person's mouth in worse case scenario. It can also be red and hurt to the touch. If you have any of these symptoms (this goes for people who's symptoms just started if you got yours pierced yesterday the swelling, redness, and soreness is normal. ) if you catch it early immediately start washing your mouth with non-alcoholic mouthwash and do sea salt water soaks for 10 minutes. This should clear it up, if it doesnt then go to your piercer and have them take the piercing out. If the infection is very bad (like all the symptoms plus the piercing is kind of making a crater in your face, then go to you piercer have them take it out then go to your doctor to have them prescribe antibiotics for you. I REALLY HOPE I HELPED.

Well i myself dont know what to say. I got mine done by myself about 3 days ago and i feel a bump in my lip where i did it im really scared so i really recommend dont do it yourself.
