<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I just got my tongue pierced and Im on day 13 and underneath my tongue right above where the piercing is theres like a white piece of skin that hangs off a little and it is kind of sore and isnt going away and thats the only part of my tongue piercing thats still sore. how can I get rid of it?  <response>: Hello thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor.tongue piercings have post-operative swelling and wound formation,if only soreness is there it is because f post-operative wound healing, but it needs a thorough physical examination, since it also has grave complications if left untreated, I suggest you to consult an oral physical for an n check up and mean time you could apply topical anesthetics like Anabel gel and avoid eating spicy food, hope it helps,take care,
