hi there!

I got snakebites around 7 months ago, one of them healed just fine, the other i think i got an infection and had some trouble with it, so after taking antibiotics, and much to my disaproval having to remove the labret stud, I am left with a mucocele, ( http://www.lumpinmouth.com/headlines/ this site really helped out).

I want to repierce my lip, and am thinking on having the mucocele removed, my question is if you know of any cases like this, and the probability of it reocurring?

Thank you, André

If what you have is, in fact, a mucocele, you should consult with your oral surgeon regarding removal and having the area re-pierced. As mucoceles are often caused by localized trauma, you may put yourself at risk of developing another one if you re-pierce the area again.
I personally do not pierce around irritated tissue and would not pierce through or around a client’s mucocele, should I suspect they had one.
