Infections, side effects and healing issues are all points you need to discuss with your professional body piercer BEFORE you get the piercing done. You also need to discuss aftercare for the piercing, this should be followed up with written aftercare instructions for your piercing. No professional body piercer will force you to purchase aftercare products, this is a purchase that is up to you and they can only recommend specific products but they can force you to buy what they have.
Listen to what you are told and follow the aftercare to the letter and remember if you are having issues with bumps and lumps or discharge go back to the shop that did the piercing and talk to the piercer. They must help you resolve any healing issues you may be having. Don't solicit advice from anyone who is not a professional body piercer, just because one thing worked for someone else doesn't mean it will work for you. Healing issues need to be looked at first hand so the problem can be recognised and resolved, the internet is just a guessing game.
Can ear infection cause numnbess of one side of tongue?
Horrid, try not to get it!
puss is a sign of infection
two weeks! defiantly wanna avoid a yeast infection on your tongue!
Piercing cartilage with a piercing guns is the number one cause, two would be a secondary infection.
Done wrong, a piercing can definitely cause paralysis on the face... whether the piercing is ear, tongue, nose, etc.
No. The ear piercing gun and stud are designed to be used on earlobes only. The tongue is a complex group of two major muscles joined by connective tissue and convered by over 10,000 tastebuds and pain receptors. Tongue piercing is intended to go between the muscle groups at least* (*at minimum) to a depth of 3/4 of an inch from the tip of the tongue. The ear piercing gun will not have the reach nor will the studs be long enough to allow for the swelling the will take place after the piercing is done.
That is the normal discharge that occurs from tongue piercing, just like ear piercing discharges after they have been pierced and are healing the tongue does the same sort of thing. That will disappear is a couple of days, just be sure you are rinsing and keeping cold stuff on the piercing as often as possible.
If you believe a piercing has an infection it is best to remove the piercing and clean it with soap and water. Make an appointment with your doctor as soon as you can for further treatment.
Of course .. if you don't you are inviting infection and/or medical problems down the road.
Irritating the piercing will make it take longer to heal. It also increases the risk of infection
A tongue piercing is a piercing through the tongue or any part of the tongue, including the web underneath.
