A new piercing can be tender, itchy and slightly red and can remain so for a few weeks. A pale, odourless fluid may sometimes discharge from the piercing and form a crust.
Also know, what does it mean when your tongue piercing turned white?
It’s normal bacterial growth that you can reduce with antifungal mouthwash, like Nystatin (like Nystop®). You might also notice a white ring of tissue around both sides of your piercing, but it’s just the way your tongue normally heals from a wound.
One may also ask, can a healed tongue piercing get infected? Risks. Tongue piercings are fairly safe. The most significant risk associated with a tongue piercing is that the wound will become infected shortly after the piercing. Most infections are mild, however, and a doctor can easily treat them with oral antibiotics.
Accordingly, will my tongue piercing close up after 2 years?
If the tongue piercing is removed for even one night, it will partially close up as it is a muscle, which is very unlike ear piercings. It should close up, but just like trachs, some close and some don’t. If it doesn’t close after about a year it should be evaluated for a surgical closure if it is causing problems.
