My lip piercing hurts when i take it out and out it back in?

Question

I've had a monroe piercing for a little over a month and when i take it out it doesn't hurt. I leave it out during the day and every couple of hours i stick a earring in it so it doesn't close but when i go to put it back in it is really hard and it hurts. I put it back in at night and wear it in on weekends but i'm about to start school and i can't have it at school. I really don't want it to close up. Please don't tell me that i shouldn't have gotten it. Thx!

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the number one rule to fairly recent piercings is NOT to take them out, at all.

you should wait AT LEAST three months before taking the piercing out.

If you have to take the thing out, at least put a clear one in and leave it there for a couple months, then you'll be able to switch them out regularly.

Also, you shouldn't be touching the jewelry at all. The bacteria from your hands can get on the jewelery and make there way back to the piercing, and then make it infected.

I hope I helped. :]

Answer 2

get a clear one so no one can see it but the hole doesnt close up.

Answer 3

it probably just means its not completely healed yet.

try going back the place you had it done.

they'll know what to do.

Answer 4

I'm not going to tell you that you shouldn't have gotten it, just that you shouldn't be messing with it so much. Who knows what kind of bacteria you've got on the earring you keep poking it with.

Keep a retainer in until it heals. Commit to it or let it close.

See your piercer if this doesn't help.

Answer 6

An earring is a smaller gauge than a standard Monroe, you're putting in a small gauge, and then shoving in a larger gauge and expecting the jewelry to go in easy? Leave it in or out, or buy a retainer.
