Is my tongue ring infected

I got my tongue pierced about two weeks ago…there isn’t any swelling but its sore around the ring and at the bottom of my tongue is a white bump…it actually looks like a pimple…what do I do?

Answer #1

Do not worry!

The white bump is just dead skin cells gathering around the wound. Your wound is not healed yet and it is trying to protect it, but it can’t because you have a bar through your wound.

It is most likely sore because you have been talking, eating and drinking. You probably have been playing with it too. Everyone does, even I do!

If it stays sore in about a week or so, seek medical help

Answer #2

stick your tongue in salt water its the only thig that with clean it

Answer #3

Thank you…I was so worried…

What do you think would be the best thing for me to do?

Answer #4

That is normal. Normally when you take your tongue ring out your whole at the bottom will either be red or white. Bumps like that are normally under your tongue you dont notice them until you are really looking at it all the time. You just have to take ibruprofen 3 times a day and that will take the pain away. Make sure you keep your mouth clean use listerrine 3 times a day as well. Not back to back though.
