I got my lip pierced and it is really swollen?

Question

I got my lip pierced about 5 days ago and i have been to this piercer a couple of times and everything has worked out. Well the first night i had it it was not irritated at all. My lip started to swell about the third day and it seems to be cutting into my inner lip. And now on the fifth day i took a look at my lip and it is slightly turning black and blue. I don't want to take it out myself and it dosen't seem to be infected and im still doing everything the piercer told me to. What do i do? or is this normal?

Answer 1

Go back to the piercer and ask them to check it out.

If need be they may need to take it out, but rather be unpierced than have a serious problem. Good luck

P.s this happen to the top of my ear and it was due it the jewelry being too tight and irritating the skin making it swell.

Goodluck!

Answer 2

wow ok...

i would go to the doctor and have them take it out.  i have my lip pierced and that never happened.  yea it was swollen for a couple days, but didn't turn black or blue.

if it's an infection, there will be pus coming out of it.
