I've only had this piercing about 3 months. It's already been infected once but I went on antibiotics which seemed to clear up the problem but a few days ago i noticed a blister forming on the inside of my mouth right on the piercing it's not the white ring, just a regular blister but it's gotten a little bigger since then. I'm not sure if it's infected again or if I might be allergic to the metal. Any help would be appreciated
The bump is caused by irritation not infection. You probably have been playing with your piercing without even realizing it.
Do your best to leave it alone and let the body heal itself. If you still clean and move the barbell, please STOP. If you use harsh products like salt water or peroxide, then please STOP using these as well.
If there is movement in the barbell, try and find a shorter shaft. This will help reduce the leverage and help reduce the irritation you are causing.
my lip is sort of swollen and the skin is hard around the piercing is that from me playing with it also
Absolutely, playing with any piercing will cause problems, but in the mouth area, the area becomes hard and swollen.
You have to leave the piercing alone and let the body heal itself. If you do not stop irritating it, you could cause the backing of the labret shaft to become imbedded in your mouth and really give you serious problems.
Please STOP playing and moving the jewellery.
