okay so i got my lip pierced last wednesday, the 23rd. today is thursday the 31st. so its been a little over a week. now, if i move it a certain way, theres a dull pain. i've been cleaning it&everything, but i've been having to take it out&put it back in for various reasons. i'm pretty sure it's not infected; it's not burning or pussing or anything. but yeah. is this normal ? also, the backing is cutting into the inside of my lip. (i have a stud) how can i keep it from doing this ? thanks so much !
solidadvice4teens answered Thursday July 31 2008, 4:18 pm: If I were you I would call the body piercing parlor where you had it done. Ask to speak to the person who did it. Tell them exactly what is happening and find out if it's normal. They'll know what you need to do and can tell you what kind of pain or soreness is normal versus not.
That's what they are there for to answer all these things and make you informed before and after the procedure. They should have given you a sheet about aftercare with instructions on what you need to do and what isn't normal or needs to be seen by a doctor. See what's on that again. That's the first place I would look net to phoning them.
Google will have a ton of sites but if you go through About.com they have a site (I forget the link) to body piercing knowledge you need to know. You can always contact their guides who will e-mail back (eventually). All else fails call the shop that did it as they know what they did exactly to you and what ain't right.
