Signs of a Lip Piercing Infection and What to do..First you will see and feel some swelling, and it will start to be a bit painful when you yawn, or stretch your mouth.

If this is happening you should be using listerine or a salt wash after breakfast lunch and dinner. Don't over do it though because it will just get really irritated. Bactine also helps if you see there is an infection. In the shower, clean around the piercing with antibacterial soap. Liquid Dial works best. Be sure to move the piercing around and rinse all of the soap off well.

When you first get your piercing, you shouldn't play with it or move it with your tongue. Only touch it when cleaning it and always make sure to wash your hands first.

NEVER take out your piercing if it is infected. Doing so can cause an abscess. The piercing will close and trap the infection inside.

Seek medical attention if the infection worsens. Do not use alcohol, peroxide, Neosporin. Alcohol and peroxide are cytotoxic, which means they kill healthy living tissue as well as infected tissue.

Signs of an infection:

  • Sore to the touch.
  • Excessive redness around the jewellery.
  • Distention or swelling around the piercing.
  • Painful when moving the jewellery.
  • Discharge of yellow, or green bloody puss during movement of jewelry.

If these symptoms are there then the answer could be," Yes, you have an infected piercing".
