Do I Have A Lip Infection?!
Question:
Do I Have A Lip Infection?
I got my lip pierced three weeks ago and it was fine, then got a ring put in last week. Today I noticed that there's this white substance on the inside of the ring just where it goes into the lip and it kind of stings when I twist it.
Do you think I have an infection?
Answers:
It's probably the ring aggravating it. If its infected you should have swelling, redness, yellow-green pus like discharge, and sensitivity to touch. If it is infected, leave your lip ring in to ensure proper drainage and visit your piercer for advice. Make sure you are keeping the piercing clean and doing sea salt soaks.
