Is a lip stud easily infected?

Answer by  Topaz (46)

Body jewellery is commonly made of surgical steel. If your lip is becoming irritated often, you should switch to titanium jewellery for everything. Even if you have other piercings, it's often not until a facial piercing is troublesome that an adverse reaction is noticable. Also use mild salt water soaks.

When caring for a new piercing in the mouth area, you must take careful cleaning precautions until it is fully healed, usually for 6-8 weeks after the piercing was done. Every time you eat, you need to rinse with mouthwash. Do not touch the piercing for any reason. Rinse with sea salt solution four times a day.
