peircing yourself is always dangerouse…because your not a trained peircer so all you know how to do is stick a metal needle through your skin. but peircing is a lot more than that. next time id go to a profesional but you do need some help in the meantime. its not necesarily an infection. sometimes you can get white stuff there for a few weeks/ or months. it also might just be pus. which your body is making to help heal the wound. either way it doesnt sound life-threatening or seriouse. your mum is going to find out though. right now you shouldnt change the peircinbg for about 2 months. they take around 3+ to heal so dont constantly play with it or change it for a while.its also hard to say whats wrong with it without seeing it. so if your really worried head down to a peircer and just ask him or her if its going to be okay. your lip will also have swelled up, this is normal and should only last around 3 days. in the meantime it would be good to clean it reguarly. use a sea salt…fill a cup full of warrm water with a tablespoon of sea salt, mix and then rest your newly peirced lip in it for about 15 minutes, do that for a few days- week to help heal it. any more proiblems just ask!

The white doesn’t mean infection. When I got my lip pierced it was white for a little while on the inside too, and it wasn’t infected. Isn’t your mom going to noticed you pierced your lip anyways?

Answer #7

Is the white that you’re seeing kind of a discharge? If so then chances are that it is NOT infected, normally when you get a lip piercing you have a white or yellowish discharge on the inside of your lip where the piercing is, it’s COMPLETELY normal, now if the discharge is like brown or green then you could have a small infection. Keep cleaning it as you ususally would & rinse with some salt water after eating & drinking.
