Subject: Discoloration around the lip piercing

Question
I just got my monroe done, and there is no swelling, just weird discoloration around the hole on the outside. Is that normal?

Answer
The discoloration could be from your aftercare http://piercing.org/pexy/recovery/recovery.html explains gentle care that can help you soothe the area. http://piercing.org/shop/ has examples of safe titanium post options for your upper lip jewelry that can avoid allergic reaction and infection. http://piercing.org/faq/jewelry.html explains why.
