Can you clean a lip piercing with hydrogen peroxide?
No, it is not recommended to clean a lip piercing with hydrogen peroxide as it can be too harsh and irritating. It may slow down the healing process and can also damage the delicate tissues around the piercing. It's better to use a gentle saline solution or a cleaning solution recommended by your piercer.
Piercing your lip by yourself is it safe to use ice?
You should not self-pierce your lip as it requires proper technique, proper equipment, and also you need to keep everything sanitary. But if you have already done this by yourself then I would say that you can use ice because using ice is considered the best method for healing lip piercing. You can place an ice pack directly on the swollen area for some time and repeat this for a couple of times to get rid of the swelling. If you are facing any kind of major issue then you must consult a professional without wasting any time.

Lip ring wont go back in and there is a hard bump where the hole used to be. is it scar tissue and can it be fixed?
Well the hard lump is due to the cleaning product you are using (more about that later). If you get down to your local piercing studio, the piercer can use an insertion taper to reopen the piercing and replace the ring. Yes the lump can be fixed by ceasing the use of whatever aftercare product you are using, irrigate the piercing twice a day with just water (in the shower works fine) dry the piercing and don't apply anything else to the piercing for a week (7 day period). The lump is a reaction called a hypertrophic reaction, this is a reaction to an irritant (in this case the healing agent you are using). Rinsing the piercing with water while rotating the ring will flush this out and the piercing will resume healing.
