My lip ..not peirced,swollen,hurts!! :'(
 

Hii.. i haven't got my lip peirced,although i want it done,but i'm only 15. I put a ring on my lip anyway. Last night before i went bed,the end of the ring bit,looks like it was sinking into my inner lip.I thoguht nothing of it as it didn't hurt or anything. But when i woke up this morning,my lip is swollen badly,and the end of the ring is very very sunk into my inner lip. You can't see it.
It hurts like hell!! I've tried taking it out,but it hurts soo much,plus it's too sunk into my lip to take out,i don't know what to do.I tried digging into my inner lip and getting the ring out with some scissors,but i can't even explain how much this is killing me!! My lip is soo big now! :'(
My mum doesn't know,i'm scared that if she finds out i'll be in trouble,i've not ate at all today because it hurts too much to put anything in my mouth,especially bite anything.

What do i do? It hurts so bad =[[

it sounds like some how the ring may have pierced but infected your lip (thats why only professional people should peirce you). if you cant get the ring out your self you will have to get some one to do it for you, maybe best option would be a urse at hospital, or the nurse at your doctors surgery.

It does sound like it may be infected where it as been pushing in. You should not remove it yourself, but instead go to your doctors or hospital or local walk in centre right away. Do not wait any longer the server pain shows that the infection may be bad. This may need antibiotics to help clear it up.

Can I also add that the method you mentioned would not work. As you can see the infection rate is huge. Not to mention that any hole made would look an odd shape and would probably migrate.

I wish i read this before i took it out. I took it out with scissors as i couldn't stand the pain any longer. But my lip is still very swollen and i now have a big hole in my inner lip and a bruised dent on my outter lip.
Will the swelling go down any time soon,or should i do something to it? Incase its infected??

You should make an apoitment at your doctors for today to get it checked out. If its infected they may need to gve you some antibiotics as a precaution

Oh yeh i'll do that thanks =]

Why did you have the ring on your lip?

Its fine to place a ring on your lip if it has a large enough gap for your lip so it doesnt dig in and also it should really only be for a short amount of time to see if you like the look of it.

If you want your lip pierced then speak to your mum about it.As was said about you need to go to the doctor to get it checked out.To reduce the swelling you could take some neurofen style painkillers which do reduce swelling and also maybe try a hot compress.

I hope your lip feels better
