Answer 3

my monroe stayed red for about a week and a half. just wash it 2 to 3 times a day and you should stay good.

Answer 4

if u keep moving it aroundyou'll irritate the skin trying to heal. use salt water to clean it.

(a monroe piercing is on the upper lip, where marilyn monroe had that beauty spot)

Answer 5

I'm with Mikey - please tell us what a 'Monroe' piercing is lol

Answer 6

Soak your piercing for about 10 minutes in warm sea salt water. Make sure not to put too much sea salt though. Don't put peroxide because it can irritate it. It might also be irritated by the mouth wash and the soap you are using to clean it so for now just soak it and if it doesn't get better go to your piercer or a doctor.

Answer 10

usually if it is infected, it will feel warm to the touch.  try putting a bit of peroxide on it, and use two parts water/one part peroxide for a mouth wash.
