i got a lip piercing last month, and i noticed this morning theres a weird build up of skin on the inside of the barbell, what do i do?

Answer #1

The inside of the barbell? Is it around the barbell where the jewelery is inserted or is it just on the barbell itself? You may just need to clean it. If there’s puss, discharge, or tenderness you may have an infection, in which case you need to do a salt soak (which you should be doing regularly anyway, your lip will love you back if you love it). Don’t take the barbell out, if it is an infection you don’t want to give the piercing a chance to heal and trap the bacteria in there. Do a salt soak (or use that saline solution H2Ocean for piercings if you don’t want to make your own salt solution), make sure your hands are clean when/if you’re touching it, and the skin should go back to normal.
