Okay so dumb story but I pierced my lip.. i was clean about it and all that but then the next morning I realized it was stupid and needed to come out… so I took it out.

no pain or anything when I was piercing it, putting it in, or taking it out.

the swelling of the actual lip only lasted a day but it feels like its swollen between my lips (I think its just forming scar tissue)… like the outside isn’t swollen and on the inside of my lip is just a little white circle where the hole was.

Is that normal? Everyone I’ve talked to has says yes and it will go down in due time, I mean its only been 3 nights since I did it but I’m a worrier and I just wanna double check with people who might know a little more.

and every night I wash the outside and i rinse with mouthwash or warm salt water any chance I get….

but I just wanna make sure that kind of swelling is normal and will go down?

and if its scar tissue what is the quickest way to make it go down because i plan on re piercing it when I don’t have to worry about my job and my sports coaches and parents breathing down my neck, and its really kinda annoying

Putting a hole in your face = swelling.

If it’s only been 3 days, I wouldn’t worry about it. Give it some time and everything should return to normal.
