Labret problem

Passenger

Hi guys, got my labret done a few months ago and in the past week or two I have this ulcer/welt type thing forming around the back of the piercing inside the lip.

What is it and what can I do to get rid of it, it's bit of a nuisance?

Much appreciated.

has it grown over the piercing? i cant really see from the picture.
as a matter of interest do you play with the end of your labret jewelry with your tongue? i used to do that and it encourage tissue to grow over it.

youve 3 options
- get a longer labret bar, should relieve some pressure on your lip
- get half a tablet of panadol and rest it on the back of the piercing, thatl break down the tissue a bit. note: only to be used if its over growing tissue
- go into your piercer on wednesday and get them to have a look at it

if you could give us a better quality pic we will know better, but kudos either way cos most people dont even bother

Thanks Wilburt, it's not growing over the jewellery just around it, kinda forming a pocket around the rim of it. Can't really get a better pic at the mo.

I've put in a monroe bar I found as it's tiny and taken the ball off of to relieve it a little. I suppose the best bet is to show the piercer.

yup probably, internet does have its drawbacks

Longer bar seems the way to go in most of these cases
