Lower lip piercing has white skin under ball?

Question

It has been pierced for About 4 months now and the skin under the ball has become white. It has stop hurting after a week but I tried peeling off the white skin, It starts to hurt more and the white area has grown larger. Any idea what it is and how to get rid of it

Answer 1

It could be hypertrophic scarring... (Just a guess. I don't know for sure.)

You could try tea tree oil on it... rub it on every day and it might go away.

Keep cleaning it.

Maybe you should go down to your piercer and ask them what it is. That way they can actually see it and tell you exactly what it is.

Answer 2

its most likely infected

so you prolly need to go see a doctor

so they can prescribe you something to help it

Answer 3

it may be dead skin.

DONT TOUCH IT

it should dissapear with time, but you may want to leave the piercing out for a bit if it doesn't close up straight away
