I need to know if this black ring around my lip piercing..?

Question

will go away. I got it pierced and about 1 week later i took it out and now im using nose rings to keep it open. The only problem is that theres a black ring around the whole and i need to know how i can get rid of it. Please help tell me what to do. Is this black ring going to be permanent? I just now replaced the fake nose ring with a metal one and i use something called fougera on it daily. Is it a part of the healing process?

Answer 1

I've never heard of that. I have my lip pierced, and mine didnt do that. So I cant say thats part of the healing process. Why would you put nose rings in it? You should have just kept the original jewelry in the hole and just left it alone for awhile and if it doesnt get better I guess take it out.

Whenever I get piercings I use that salt water spray. That always works good. So get some of that maybe.

Answer 2

The problem may be that the nose rings you were using to keep it open aren't proper jewelry for a lip ring... There may be nickel in the metal which would account for a ring around the piercing, but if that was the case it should just wipe off with hot water. I recommend going back to your piercer and asking them, and having them replace the jewelry with proper lip 'attire'.
