I really love it, but on the outside, there is like.. This reddish circle around where the jewelery comes out. Kind of looks like.. Skin too, I guess?
On the inside, it seems like the skin is trying to grow over the...

Why is it like this?

Your body is rejecting the piercing is the skin is trying to grow over the piercing. You need to see a doctor right away. That can leave a serious scar and do damage.

hahah oh my gosh dont listen to the other person here they obviously dont know what they are talking about. dont worry that is a tottally normal part of the healing process just make sure you are cleaning it with antibacterial soap on the outside and sea salt and water on the inside, dont worry its fine. and lip is growing over it it just feels like it because your piercing is just trying to find a place to lie at.

I just recently got my lip pierced again for the 3rd time, the white stuff was there every time. It's normal, don't worry. Now, if you lip starts to swell and turn yellow, you should go to the doctor and get treatment. but just keep it CLEAN.
