Hardness around my tongue ring

Asked by greek3nny about 1 year ago, 5 answers.

I have my tongue pierced, for about 3 or 4 months now..
and around my piercing it was hard and I just thought it wasn't healed all the way yet.
well the hardness went away around the pierced expect for a tiny spot in the front
and I was afraid it was...

infected.. well I looked at it this morning and it was a little bigger
and I squeezed it gently and pus came out of it.. so does the mean it's infected?

yes peroxide does burn!
you shouldnt put it anywere near tyour tounge!!
if your trying to clean it do a sea salt soak
I tablespoon of sea salt in one cup warm water
put your toung in there for about 15 mins
it is infected a bit, and also probably haste fully healed
it sounds like it will
but if it hurts at all then you should go back to your peircer imediantly!

no it doesn't hurt, and it's not discolored.. the bump has gone down, but it's still there

Rinsing your mouth with peroxide like you do mouthwash is safe. Yes, it may burn a little. You could try using Listerine also. If it was me I would either go where I got it done at and ask what they think or go to the doctor. An infection that close to your brain should not be played around with.
