i got my monroe done about three week's ago. I went in to change the earing just about two day's ago. i woke up this morning and my lip was very VERY swollen. I'm pretty sure it's because the new bar is very small and tight on my lip. But now my lip is so swollen i can't take it out. what should i do?

My tragus has been pierced for 3 years now.. and I feel that it has never fully healed. The area around insertion point is slightly swelled, pink and tender, and has been so since a month after I first got it pierced. Is there any remedy for this? The original barbell is still in place.. I am reluctant to change it cause it usually bleeds a little and stings when I attempt to change it. At this point, I just wonder if its a lost cause.. although I love how the piercing looks, its been more of a nuisance. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

My left lip I have had pierced for two months. It has recently swelled, and has formed a small pinkish bump on the inside. The swelling has gone down alot since I have been soaking it in sea salt. But I have ran out, and I will be getting more soon. I also brush my teeth and use diluted listerine if I don't brush my teeth after I eat or drink something (excluding water) Could these bumps be from trauma, or is it a form of a keloid? It hasn't gotten bigger at all, stays the same size. If you could email me back with an awnser it would be much appreciated. Much love, Haylee

I just got my tongue pierced on Friday and today is Sunday, my tongue is swollen and it hurts really bad, and all I usually eat is steak or pizza and I can't even eat that because it is to hard to chew. And just to let everyone know, it doesn't hurt to get it done but it sure does hurt afterwards and swells up pretty nice.

helppppp. i got my lip pierced roughly two weeks ago. it was doing fine until this past weekend, i decided to drink & smoke cigarettes, without washing it. now it's all haggard & infected & shit. i went to the doctor today & got amoxicillin. he told me to take it out, but i'd rather wait to see if this medicine helps before i go to the extreme of just taking it out. i need some reassurance. has anybody used amoxicillin for a piercing infection before? i'm hoping it works.
