Tongue piercing infection?

Question

I did my tongue piercing like a week ago and i decided to remove it and let it close but un the bottom part of the tongue i got a white thing around the opening am not sure if it is an infection because i dont have any pain nor nothing please answere soon !!!!

Answer 1

i think because it's still sorta fresh it looks like a wound now!

and the white stuff is also known as "PUSS" that could be a little infected, what you should do is gargole with hydrogine peroxide "DONT SWALLOW IT NOW" for about 10 seconds for 2 times a day for about a week...it should bring the swelling down...it infection persists go see your dr. you don't know if whoever did your tongue, needle was dirty! also avoid hot foods for that may also irritate it a bit more...DO eat ice cream and cold foods to bring the swelling down...

Hope this helps! = ]

Answer 2

Most likely scar tissue, over time this should minimize.

Answer 3

No it's not an infection. It's simply scar tissue, everyone gets it. It looks worse when it's a new piercing. Don't worry about it =)

Answer 4

it's not. but you should wait until it fully heals before you take out the ring, becuase you could close any infection inside.

& stay away from dairy, you could get a yeast infection!

Answer 5

well i would recommend telling your mom or dad or whoever and then keeping an eye on it. if it doesn't heel in like a week then i would say go to a doctor and they can look at it and tell you whats wrong.
