not sure everyone acts different check this out at your doctor because you should not get pus from your tongue piercing it might mean that your tongue piercing has got infected because i have never got pus from my tongue piercing xoxo
No. Its normal to have a whitish/yellow fluid that may cause crust to form but not pus.
It could actually be normal discharge and not pus. Since I can't see the piercing, the best thing for you to do is to go back to your piercer :)
No it's not normal. Pus means infection.
This is totally fine and normal. Don't sweat! All it is is the tongue's version of a scab. Since its a moist environment though, it's not going to be a normal looking/feeling scab that you would get on your skin. Basically, white blood cells rushing towards the excess bacteria in the wound, and it forms pus. The pus gradually just ends up forming a white lump near your piercing which will go away when your tongue is totally healed. Just keep rinsing with sea salt.
Well, it depends on how much, and if it's really pus, or just lymph. Lymph will accumulate on any piercing, it will look like the crusty stuff you get in your eyes when you wake up. This is totally normal and expected. Pus can be seen in small amounts, especially since navel piercings take the longest to heal out of ANY body piercing. But if you're seeing tons of it and the piercing looks inflamed or infected, then I'd go get it checked out. Be really good about doing sea salt rinses every day while it heals!
YES
Not at all - because you went to a reputable piercing salon, your belly ring is just secreting anti-microbial compounds to prevent such an infection from happening. Good call.
If its an old piercing its most likely scar tissue, if its a new piercing its most likely getting infected and there is pus in the bump.
You get over it and face your fear. If you really want a lip piercing, which by the way, makes it difficult to get a job if you are young, then you will face your fears and get it done. The initial pain is only temporary and the healing pain lasts for weeks, it is a big decision. Putting holes in your body is an injury according to your body's defense system. You shouldn't fear the needle, you should fear the infection, the swelling, the soreness and the occasional pus that comes with the piercing. Just a note, pus should NEVER come out of a piercing. Pus is a sign of infection. You probably mean lymph fluid which is normal.
Not exactly. If its really pus, you need to see a doctor because pus is an indication of infection. If you're not experiencing any swelling, itchiness, or redness in the area, it's just lymph. Once the piercing goes through it's initial healing phase, the lymph production will cut back a lot. Sea salt helps the piercing heal, so you should definitely use it.
Pus does not normally come out of an Achilles tendon. If you have pus near your ankle,see your health care provider.
