Hi…recently i’ve found that there’s a raised tissue nearby the flat disc on my left labret. My piercer told me that it’s because of over accumulation of discharge & dead cells due to bed very late at night. I’ve been taking early bed for a week plus since the bump raised & gargle with warm sea salt water as usual but it seems like doesn’t reduce at all. I’m so worry about it & hope to have some advise on this problem. Thanks a lot & peace 
Lip piercings can develop this kind of inflammation for a few different reasons.
Firstly, it could be that your piercing has been placed at a wonky angle and it’s irritating the piercing or that it’s being subject to trauma (chewing the jewelry, catching on teeth, oral contact with others…)
Secondly, it could be the quality of jewelry you’re wearing and your body is reacting to it - although by the picture, that doesn’t seem as likely.
My first guess is that it’s being irritated chemically somehow. Sea salt rinses are great to flush out oral piercings for aftercare. That being said, if you’re using a commercial mouthwash (Scope, Oral B, Listerine, etc) dumping booze or caffeine all into it or using a whitening toothpaste, that can seriously bother the inside of a fresh oral piercing

Holy *shit*, that exact problem has happened to me and I came here looking for answers, and bam!
My piercing’s about two months old now and that same freaky lump has grown on it practically overnight. It almost feels like my body is trying to replicate its own labret stud, it feels disgusting!
I didn’t see any suggestions on how to get rid of the lump, I hope it’ll just go away if it’s looked after well?
Aara on October 20th, 2009 at 4:32 ami have this same exact problem . i went to my piercer and all of a sudden he doesnt know anything. he says it should go down within time and sea salt rinse. i think its a scar and will have it forever. we will see. anyone already gone through this>?
jackie on November 7th, 2009 at 10:12 pmyou’re not going to have it forever, chill out man.
It happened with my upper labret after having the piercing for at least a few months. I kinda just ignored it and it went down. Then I stretched it to 12g (once it was fully healed, obviously!!) and it made it go away even more and I’ve never had problems like that since.
If the problem is caused by the jewellery quality or the angle of the piercing though, it is either going to take longer to go away or possibly not go away until the jewellery is removed.
beans on November 8th, 2009 at 5:29 pmmy piercing was at an angle, which i believe caused it initially, so i went to the piercer and had him put in a ring. He basically looked at me and said “i dont know”.. Its very large, white and hard, like scar tissue, thats the only reason i believe i will always have it. any help is appreciated. (btyw, im a lady :O)
