Did you mean Iching? Itching is a side effect of dry skin, salt can cause dry skin. Reducing the amount of salt can reduce the effects.

A way to prevent this is to add a solution to the water in your tank that kills Ich (ask the people at a pet store).

Its most likely just dry skin. Cut down your sea salt soaks if you're still doing those. The salt can be drying. Dab a little bit of vitamin E oil on the outside of your lip to moisturize it. If you still have problems with it, or dont think its dry skin, go see your piercer :)
Is salt water good for acne?
Salt water is great for acne. You could cleanse your skin with salt water at the beach or you can make salt water at home. All you need to do is mix a few tablespoons of salt into your bath. (I'd prefer using sea salt.) The salt may sting a bit, but that's normal. When your done, moisturize a bit with lotion so you won't dry your skin. If you have sensitive skin, I recommend you don't try this technique.
