What do you do if a new piercing is swollen?
visit your ear piercing salon where you got it pierced and if they can't do anything to help then they will refer you to your GP so visit your doctor and he/she will tell you what to do. Swelling is not uncommon with some piercings, this can be due to the type of piercing and the location of the piercing. Oral piercings around the mouth will swell this is due to the nature of the tissue that was pierced. Eyebrow piercings can swell and even bruise, this is not uncommon again due to the nature of the tissue being pierced. Your aftercare guide should instruct you on how to treat localized swelling for the piercing you have. Ultimately if you are in doubt if the swelling is normal go back and see your piercer.

Most piercings swell afterwards....This is why we use jewelry a little longer than necessary for the initial piercing, to accommodate for the swelling....Whoever pierced yours used too short a jewelry....In a day or two it MAY go down but if it doesn't it will swell over the ball and have to be cut out.....Hope this helps
