anywhere from 7-10 days.
Never worry, it's totally normal. Your ears are somewhat adapting to you piercing since the 'metal' or the earring is a foreign bypasser. If the swelling lasts more that a week, that's weird. (:
Got my cartilage pierced 4 months ago. I had a keloid, so I switched from the surgical steel that they pierced it with, to gold. It's a hoop. Red and swollen. Keloid is gone and there is no puss. Is it still healing and just irritated? Or could the hoop be too tight?
That is a problem if it's been swollen since you got ie pierced. See a doctor ASAP.
If you don't put a special jelly on it it will get infected and swell enormously
I got my lip pierced a year ago this month, and smoked occasionally, but didnt have my lips swollen. I tried my best to keep my lip hole covered (with my tongue, lol). Your lip is swollen because the smoke/cigarette/etc, lol burns the inner lining of your fresh hole.
Swelling might be a sign of infection
either because its infected or you just got it pierced. clean it with rubbing alcohol. not peroxide.
It is common for a tongue to be swollen for 3-5 days after getting pierced. If the swelling persists beyond this timeframe or if you experience excessive pain or difficulty swallowing, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.
Well if you take care of it right it will look like your original lip. If not it will get swollen.
Yes, inflammation is part of the natural healing process. It varies from person to person exactly how much swelling, but generally everyone who gets anything pierced will experience inflammation.
Get them re-pierced. Or wait till your breasts are unswollen
