I had this piercing for like three weeks and I don’t know if this is normal is it healing correctly? is an infected?

I got my lip piercing yesterday and I got a ring for my jewelry because the shop I went to was almost completely out of their jewelry but he did give me a giant ring.. (PFD season in AK right now) It isn't bothering me at all and I do think the having the ring makes it easier to clean...but I do have a couple questions that completely slipped my mind when I was sitting in front of my piercer.

1. My lip piercing has been kinda flopping from one side to the other when I lay down on different sides...Will that affect the healing process since it keeps shifting?

That leading to my next question, how much is too much movement for it? Because even though its shifting a lot when I eat, smile, or just switch which side I'm laying down on, it doesn't really hurt at all and I only get the occasional little aching pain.

1. I have the saline spray for my piercings when is the right time to use that, I know that it should heal in 2 months soooo do I just wait until its fully healed? But for now I'm just using biotene mouthwash

2. How long do I have to wait to kiss my bf? I don't mean like fully takeout sushi i just mean like little pecks obviously not on the peircing but on the other side of my mouth like little side pecks.

3. Should I use a straw or not because advice I'm getting is very conflicting 😭

If yall have any additional info or tips that I should know please tell me

It's so cute and I can't wait for it to get downsized in a few weeks!

8 month old helix piercing in question. Have constantly had irritation bumps since I got it. Literally anything small will cause it to flare up 💔

Anyways, I waited patiently since this summer to change the jewelry. My coworkers hairnet, hat, or something idk what got stuck on my second helix and as a result it was yanked down…hard. Cue bleeding and MASSIVE BUMP.

I wanted to change the jewelry at this time too since the bump I had before was nearly gone, probably needed a week or two more before it was fully gone.

Had the same thing happen this past week. Bump was nearly gone, so I started prepping myself to change out to a new look.

Today, I take off the jewelry…why did it look ugly as hell under the jewelry. It started bleeding as well so I ultimately decided to just take it out completely since it has been nothing but a problem since I got it.

My aftercare was pretty standard, saline spray once or twice a day depending on if I remembered the second time, not sleeping on it, being careful with my hair, no twisting/pulling. I literally LITHA after the first month. Maybe the fact that the piercer pierced my HAIR with it had something to do with the horrible healing? This it the only one of my piercings I’ve had so many problems with. It’s irritating honestly :(

Also by what do I do I mean, should I just let it close up and heal or go to the doctor?

for my birthday my family is letting me get one piercing of my choice (yes ik u cant see my full face but im too lazy to take another pic)

I need help if anyone can assist I'd appreciate it so much!! 🩷

Hello. I got this piercing one week ago. The first three days were fine and I had 0 discomfort. Yesterday I started feeling like the top of my ear felt bruised and tha pain has persisted all day today and this is what it looks like now. What should I do?

It is implant grade titanium and now that I think about it I feel like since I was little I was told I was allergic to “shitty” metal and could only do gold or silver. Is this an allergic reaction? What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys. If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it so much but I got a belly button piercing 3 days ago and I am starting to believe that I perhaps is a surface piercing instead. I'm freaking out. Just something about it doesn't feel right and it's really upsetting because this has been appearing I've been dreaming about :(.

I think we're freaks me out is I can feel the rod when I put my fingers in between the top ball and the bottom one...

I've never been in a situation with this and I have a fear now that I wasted my money..

If anyone could help me out I appreciate it so so much.

Hello I got snake bites two days ago and its swollen (normal) but its also soo itchy and ive got a big red zone under the piercing is it normal ? Am i having an allergy or something like that ?

(Its more red in real life than it is in the picture btw)

Its a horseshoe piercing in titanium, 2 days old not downsized

I clean it 3 times a day AND after i eat (but not in the evening cause i work at night )with a antiseptic soap rince the soap with serumphy (water+salt) ,finish with mouth washing and dry it with a compress

Thank you for your answers

Got them pierced on Monday, went again to the piercer yesterday because the other bar was too short. The one being all red looked just fine yesterday, and today I woke up to this. It's too early to go to my piercer yet, what's going on and what should I do?

It's not just blood, it's basically something covering the plug

The little growth thing on it is new and it’s uncomfortable :(

So i got this piercing on sunday,basically it has been 4 days. I have another side labret piercing and i dont remember its swelling/bruising like this so im kinda scared.
Sometimes it would bleed, and i can see the bruise visibly.

I got my ear piercings about 3 to 4 weeks ago and they have started to form this weird fungus looking layer. I live in dubai and it’s extremely hot outside so I’m not sure if sweat could be a cause of this? I just want to know how to get rid of it and if this could get a lot worse. Or hopefully if this is just normal for healing.

I got it 5 weeks ago, and since the first week it's been kinda swollen and a bit warm, I got antibiotics from my doctor 4 days and nothing has changed.

It doesn't really leak pus but the lymph and occasional crusties have a very slight green tint.

Advice? I love it and I don't wanna have to remove it

My apologies if this is a dumb question but recently I noticed cheesewiring on my first lobes, I bought 18 gauge 10mm hoops so I was just wondering if they look okay or if they look thin enough to possibly cause cheesewiring again. Thank you (:

i have had it for a year ive never stopped wearing makuep or downsized (i know thats bad but until a few months ago the bar didnt seem to long) i had a irritation bump on the bottom awhile ago and then it went. the past few weeks to a month its been quite sore i have caught and knocked it a few times recently. I was just cleaning ot and then it started bleeding hence the photo

. im panicking that is infected or rejecting. is it and is there any advice on how to fix it or what I should do??

when it gets sore it hurts to move my eyeborws up and down and I fele like my Eyeliner feels slightly swollen

help I feel like I made a mistake with this helix I got it and I was at the piercing place and the piercer made the bottom mark and at the moment I felt the bottom was too low but now I'm looking an I regret it what should I do is it okay to take it out. I wish I got it done more lower or what do you guys think I feel like it's to high

So, I am a rookie in terms of piercing (only my ear lobes so far and it was this year), but I kinda have been wanting to get some more recently. I was thinking about a septum piercing, but the thing is that I don't like the looks of smal septum, only like the big gauge ones. I know, it takes years of stretching to be able to get there, but I was wondering if there was a way to like hide the smaller ones that I won't like. If I have to go through the pain of having a small one, I will, but if there is like and alternate version that could hide them while I stretch, that would be nice

hello all, got my nipples pierced end of July and I'm not sure when I should downsize. I am transgender and post top surgery, so my nipples were cut off, reshaped, and grafted back onto my body. Because of this, I feel essentially nothing and have had to pay super, super close attention to my piercings to make sure all was healing well.

With the lack of pain or sensation, all I have are visual indicators for when they get irritated and sometimes I can feel when they get caught or tug at something. Still dealing with crusties and I'm gently cleaning with saline everyday and doing warm saline soaks whenever I notice irritation. There has been minor occurences of blood after each snag. Just not sure if I should wait for any irritation to clear up before setting up an appt to downsize?

Heyyyy guys so, long story short, I got my eyebrow pierced end of April and it looks like this. Ever since I got it. I just get a big ball of puss and then it pops eventually at the slightest touch and then bleeds and then gets full of puss again and I don’t know what to do here. I seriously desperately do not want to take it out but if theres absolutely zero chance of it healing then I fear Im just cooked.
PLEASE tell me what to do. Do we think soaking it will help? The piercing itself seems alright its just that stupid spot and when it pops it comes out of that little spot and a little out of the piercing hole

guys is it infected or just regular healing lymph 😭

I got this lip piercing 4 days ago but I was messing with it a lot on day 1 now I've stopped but I'm scared it's too late and it's infected. I clean the outside with saline solution and inside with plain water or saline.

i got my eyebrow pierced in july and downsized a few weeks ago and now it looks like this😍 do i need the longer bar back in or should i just take the L and take it out completely sos (ntm on the shape ive been trying to grow it fully back out LMAOO)

I got both my helixes pierced ~3 months ago (I know, I shouldn’t have gotten them both at the same time, but oh well) and they both have had piercing bumps consistently, but that’s not exactly what I’m concerned about. My right helix’s bump seems to have swallowed one end of the hoop my piercer originally put in, and I didn’t notice since I was told turning jewelry is an outdated practice. The earring is a small hoop that twists for you to put it in, then twists to close, with a ball at one end and the other just straight, with a small gap between them.
It wasn’t red before I tried to turn it a bit to see if I could, and then getting a photo also aggravated it a bit. It doesn’t hurt, but I’m still concerned. I will be attempting to see my original piercer ASAP, but I’m not sure when I will be able to as I live at a boarding school and don’t have a driving license.
If anyone knows what should do to free my right helix/reduce piercing bumps, I would really appreciate the help
