I got my lip pierced about four days ago.
The problem is that it’s starting to get kind of infected. I keep rinsing my mouth with the sea salt they said to use and I clean it with paroxide and soap a lot, but the infection isn’t really going away.
Is there anyhting else I can do? I really want to try to keep the piercing.

take it out….your body is prolly rejecting it and you don’t want it to scar up bad
Like I said I want to keep it. So far it’s not really bad.
If it does get worse then I will take it out. But I’ve wanted a lip ring for three years and it costed 20 bucks to get it in. I hate the idea of wasting that money.
You should be aware that the bacteria from infections of the mouth can go to the heart and brain.
I know. And like I said it’s not that bad. If it does get any worse I will take it out. Because I love the lip ring and I don’t want to waste money but I’m not stupid.

Actually I’m a minor so, no I don’t need a job yet. And until I’m eighteen I won’t need one, as per the agreement with my mother. And even so I do have money of my own to get me by. And if all continues going to plan then by January I’m going to be going to publishers with the book I’m almost done with.
Also, I’m into photography, and my Aunt sells her photos and is helping my to sell mine. Again, something I don’t have a dress code for.
See a doctor, and see if they can do anything about it.
Or ask someone who does piercings if s/he’s seen this kind of thing before.

Ok, thanks. Ohh maybe if I go to my Docter she can give me anitbiotics. Maybe that will help.
Unfortunately too many piercings are appliqued in arcane studios under catastrophically unhygienic conditions!
And: The piercing piece should be made of surgical steel only.

less than a year til u have to get a job then so why bother…i’d say let the 20 go it’s not that much money and save ur lips/face
B.t.w.: A single lip piercing can gradually make the lips crooked, permanently.

My point about the job, is that I don’t need to get a job where they wont let me have it. I have enough money saved up that it will get me by, and I have my writing and my photography, and other ways of getting money.
Besides, it’s my body and my life.

I wanted adivce on ways to get rid of an infection, not someone telling me that I need to get rid of my lip ring because I need to go out and get a job. Ok?
