I got my tongue pierced 3 weeks ago, the swelling went away after a week an it stopped hurting. It was doing fine untill a couple days ago it started get sore an i noticed a whitish skin tag on the bottom hole. And its sore when i move my tongue piercing. I use biotene mouth wash and brush my teeth alot. I was wondering if its okay or is something wrong with it?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The pierced area of tongue has ulcerated.First, let me advise you that piercing tongue is an unhealthy practice. I would advise you to gargle using Betadine and warm saline. Topical analgesics have to be applied on the ulcerated area. Floss your tongue using soft scrapers. Avoid vigorous brushing techniques. Take plenty of fluids as well as nutritious food. If symptoms persists, please do visit a dentist. Take care.
