Is it normal to have blisters after lip piercing?

Answer 1

This is something that happens to people sometimes after a tongue piercing. This happened to me after I had had my tongue pierced for about a year. I had to take the piercing out, and the blister wouldn't go away, so I went to the doctor. I was referred to the oral surgeon, who did a simple procedure to remove it. I can't remember what the medical term for it is, but it's pretty simple to get rid of and relatively painless. Unfortunately for me, I am in the small percentage of people who have to go back and get it removed again because another one grew after the surgery. Hopefully it won't be the same for you.Your tongue should not have blisters. What you should do is wash your mouth out with listerine after each meal and then use biotene when you get up and then before you go to bed. If it does not start to look better in 2 weeks then you should go to the doctor. It is fine. It is just because the ball is constantly rubbing on the bottom of your mouth causing it to blister. Same thing happened to me and it went away after a few days. Once your mouth gets use to the tongue ring being there it should be fine.

NO NO don't use listerine! just any alchohol free mouthwash!

You may have swelling, and even a bit of pus, but actual blisters (plural!) are not a positive sign. Go to your piercing professional and/or doctor to get it checked out and make sure you are not infected.
