Using soap and try to keep it dry in between cleaning.
Try really hard not to bother it with your tongue.
If you're going to touch it with your fingers, make sure you wash your hands first so you don't get more bacteria into it.
Don't pick at the scab or hardened discharge.
Brush your teeth with very watered down toothpaste frequently, so bacteria doesn't build in your mouth.
DON'T use neosporin or any other ointments like that. It'll just make it heal wrong.
If it hurts, take pain killers, but don't put any creams or anything on it.
Good luck!

a) Return to the people who pierced your lip for advice - if they're licensed, they should have access to antiseptics, and have the proper knowledge to clear it up or;
b) Go see your GP. They'll know how to clear up the infection (with antibiotics usually), but I doubt they'd care very much about whether or not you could keep the piercing after the infection has cleared up.

Just stop using it. If it has caused any irritation to your piercing, the irritation will go away once you stop using the peroxide.

What is it if you have white stuff around a piercing hole?
Either dry skin or dried lymph. Try soaking the piercing in warm water. Then use a q-tip to gently wipe away the crust. If that doesn't work, stop cleaning the piercing so often and make sure that you aren't using too much sea salt in the water. Also, stop using soap if you're using it to clean the piercing. Its very drying :)
What do you do if your industrial piercing has a cut on the end?
Is the cut related to the piercing or is it just from a scratch in that area? If its unrelated to the piercing, you can put some neosporin or any other antibacterial cream on it. Make sure its the cream and not the ointment because the ointment is too thick and can stop the piercing from breathing if the cut is close to the piercing. If the piercing hole looks like a slit because of the cut or migration, go see your piercer. You might need a custom bar or to remove the piercing and get it done again later.

Is it bad if a navel piercing bleeds?
Well right after the piercing is done sometimes there can be a little bleeding, rare but it does happen. If you have had the piercing for a few days this is just a reaction to bumping and cleaning and the bleeding should stop fairly quick. Remember it's a new hole so yeah bleeding could occur, once the tissue starts to knit the bleeding will stop and the piercing will heal up. Now be sure you are cleaning it well and properly, don't over clean as this can lead to further issues down the road.
