I got my ears pierced at a parlor. With a 12 gauge needle. They told me, 4 weeks before taking them out to switch, or to stretch.
2-3 months before the piercing can be submerged. You can go swimming now as long as the piercing doesnt get wet.
After 6weeks you can take it out.
The longer you leave the original jewellery in place the better, this material and jewellery design is intended to allow for easy cleaning and quick healing. Generally 3 to 6 months before you consider messing around with putting other questionable jewellery in the piercing.
You should wait atleast a month before going swimming. As a lake is full of bacteria. Unlike what the original person said ("a lip piercing heals in 10 days, not 2-3 months. hope i helped "), a lip piercing actually takes THREE-FOUR months to fully heal. Kbyeee, best of luck. And I hope you love your lip piercing as much as I do! ^_^
It depends on how long you have had the piercing. if its new about a couple mins to an hour maybe depends on the body part you put the piercing. if you had it for a while it could take a couple days to close or a month
Generally the original post is too long once the piercing heals, but if you want to you can stay with what you have, but changing the jewellery always looks better.
As long as there is jewellery in the piercing the piercing will not scar, it will form new tissue that makes up the piercing. If the jewellery is removed before the piercing is allowed to heal completely this tissue will join together and form scar tissue.
one to three months
No Having any form of lump or bump next to a closed piercing indicates there is some form of issue with the piercing. This also depends on how long the jewellery has been out of the piercing and how long you had the piercing before removing the jewellery. If you develop any pain or discomfort seek the assistance of your doctor.
It really depends on the type of piercing and long you've had the piercing.
2 weeks
