Most piercings that are fresh will close up within a matter of an hour to a few hours of the jewelry being out, and even a well healed piercing will close up after a few days of no jewelry being worn...unless the piercing is stretched, but even then, you have at most two to three days of wearing nothing before it begins to shrink.

Is it normal for a lip piercing to pus?

Swelling and discharge from piercings is normal in the first few days post piercing. Swelling can last any where from a week to 3 weeks depending on the piercing. Controlling the swelling and maintaining good post piercing care is critical. Discharge of whitish yellow material from the piercing is normal and this too will ease off as the piercing heals. Again keeping the piercing health clean and happy is very important.Washing the piercing daily in the shower and rinsing with lots of warm running water is important to flush matter out of the piercing and allowing the piercing to breath.Staying on cold stuff for oral piercings is important and the addition of Ibuprofen , Advil or even Chamomile tea ice cubes helps to keep the swelling down.Oral piercings and the swelling related to them can last any where up to 2 or 3 weeks, this swelling will go down day by day and maintaining a clean environment for the piercing is important.Should you experience more swelling, redness and the discharge of green puss with pain and warmth to the touch your piercing is infected and must be treated as soon as possible. See your professional body piercer for assistance as soon as possible.
