Lip Piercing help, please answer if your experienced :P?

Question

so, i got my lip pierced two days ago..the piercing place was very clean and good.

i dont thnk my piercing is infected, but why did it bruise on the inside of my lip, its purple - almost like a blood blister..

how long until this goes away?

and how long does it usualy hurt for?

has anyone changed their jewlery after a week, my piercer told me its fine to do that..i havea ring in right now, so that it wouldnt grow over the stud..

anything i can do to ease the pain haha? i cant take pills like advil n whatnot, so

please help me out, if you've been through this already or know someone ..

and any other tips on lip piercings yesh, thankkkks :]

Answer 1

The bruising is normal, and it should go away within the next few weeks. Since you can't take Ibuprofen of any kind, you can just suck on ice to help with the pain and swelling. My piercer changed my stud after two weeks to a shorter one, and she wanted to wait until three weeks, but it was too long, and uncomfortable for me, but I see you have a ring. My lip hurt for maybe two weeks top, and I never had any problems with it!

Answer 2

the bruising is normal, its just a little bleeding under the skin from when you got it pierced. personally i would wait more than a week until you changed it. to make sure the initial healing is done. and as far as pain and cleaning goes, a salt water solution will clean it really well. it shouldnt hurt for more than a week really. just keep it clean and dont eat any spicey foods just yet.
