Suggest Remedy For Bump In Lip Near Piercing
I had my lips pierced recently but both of them rejected so I took them out about a good 4 days after I got it. It has been a week and all of a sudden a blister like bump has appeared where my lower left piercing was. What is this bump? Will it go away?

Hello,
From what you've described there are most likely 3 possibilities
1) You have got a bacterial infection due to the piercing
2) If it is a blister, then there may be reactivation of cold sores ( herpes)
3) It may be a delayed allergic response to the metal
For correct diagnosis, you will need to visit a dermatologist in your neighborhood at the earliest as the treatment depends on the condition you are having.
Avoid piercing again in future as the condition may aggravate.
