Can your lip piercing get infected if you take the ring out about an hour after you pierce it?

theres a possibility it will, just keep it clean and do NOT put a bandage over top of it, it needs air and to heal.

:S thanks…. im scared, and i dont have a first aid kit? :|

how can i clean it without sea salt?

would puroxyde work?

yes

Probably , Im not completely sure but it would most likely work

dont use peroxide! but use soapy water or if you have the solution you get when you get your ears pierced, that will work

hopefully…

thanks for the help :|

Yes it can be at first the hole is very sensitive to air.

Oh dear. Well, as a piercing veteran myself, I’d say it probably won’t get infected unless you’re prone to infection, or if the needle you used wasn’t sterilized. Oral piercings heal up very quickly. DO NOT use peroxide or alcohol-based products to clean it, as those are not meant for puncture wounds. I suggest using anti-bacterial soap, like Dial or something. (:

well u probably shoudnt take it out after only having it for an hour, it can close back up super fast

Any time you ever do at home piercings, theres a big chance it can get infected. The best thing to do since it wasnt professional, is just take it out, and keep it clean with dial soap. I highly recomend you use dial, for the fact that when I did my own piercings at home, I called a local piercings place, and they said dial soap comes in handy, just don’t go crazy with it. I hope this helps! (:
