So you removed your lip piercing before it healed....Well, first off why did you remove it?? That has a big basis on what the answer would be....
If you removed it because you didn't like it, or school said to remove it, and not because it was problematic with the healing, then you shouldn't have to do anything...In about two weeks it should be healed and the hole closed....
If you took it out because it was infected then you might want to use a sea salt soak to rinse your mouth and to soak the outside....
Mix 1/4 teaspoon of sea salts, all natural salt from the sea, with about 8 oz. of clean [preferably distilled] water and use some cotton balls to soak the area with....And be sure to rinse your mouth out with it. Oh yeah, first heat the water like you would your bath water, hot enough to open your pores but not so hot as to scald you....

Can you take out a lip piercing after 1 week to clean it?
Why? You never remove the jewellery in a fresh piercing to clean it, you clean the piercing and jewellery in place while in the shower, that should be more than enough. You can do damage to the new tissue trying to form by removing the jewellery, your written aftercare instructions should out line how to care for your new piercing.
What not do when you just got you belly button pierced?
I worked for a tattoo studio for a year and I can't say we ever worned folks what NOT to do. I guess, don't take it out would be one. Use an antibiotic oinment for the first 3 days to keep from infection. DO NOT use after that because it actually inhibits healing. After the 3 days please use basic soapy water. The best way to clean it is to gently push your ring (or bar bell) back and forth through the piercing. This will remove build up associated with the healing process. If you notice that your piercing turns pink or red another round of antibiotic ointment may be needed. The best way to keep from this infection is simple soapy water at least once a day.

What happens if you remove your tongue piercing before its healed?
Well nothing then again you could loose the piercing. Don't mess around with your piercing unless you have decided to go without it, then take it out and leave it out. Screwing around with a piercing that isn't healed is inviting infection, tearing and other nasty things to happen to a new piercing just because you were curious.

Can you get your snakebites infected if you take them out after getting them done?
You shouldn't remove any piercing until after they are entirely healed. If the piercing is already infected, removing the jewelery could cause the piercing to heal over trapping the infection inside the skin which will require medical attention. But if you don't have a choice, or you've decided that you don't want the piercing anymore, (only if the piercing is NOT infected) you can take the piercing out to let it grow over, and as long as you continue aftercare until the piercing is entirely healed you shouldn't get an infection.

If you decide you no longer want the piercing that is fine. Never remove a piercing till it has fully healed. The Tonga is a muscle and requires adequate healing time do not remove for 3 to 6 months. It will try to heal as soon as you remove it, as well as cause major infection if you take it in and out. It is an open wound and the mouth is a dirty place...

No, if it's new you shouldn't remove the jewellry. It's perfectly normal for it to be hurting if it's new. Even if it's infected you shouldn't remove it, or you could trap the infection inside.
