You mean regarding piercings? NOTHING. Do NOT put harsh things like peroxide on them and DO NOT put ointments or creams (Neosporin, etc.) on them. Just use antimicrobial soap twice a day like you should have been instructed to do. If there is an infection (pus, pain, redness, swelling) and it won't go away, you need antibiotics. Period. Nothing you do to the outside of the lip will help and harsh things and creams will only make it worse, kill the good tissue, cause scarring, etc. And you'll still have the infection.
