I had my Tongue pierced nearly five days ago and it seems to be healing ad everyone would describe. I have however had a fee ulcers appear around my mouth which is probably just bad timing as my glands seem to be up as well. I have however noticed that within the pierced hole there seems to be a tiny White ulcer - is there anything I can do to get rid of this?

I'm not a professional body piercer but I've had my tongue pierced for about 11 years now. Have you been doing the after care like they're instructed to tell you to do? Also don't eat foods that are sticky, too hot, too cold even if you think you can handle them. Stick to the wet and soft foods: jello, ice cream, warm soup, etc. Hopefully you've been keeping your hands out of your mouth and not playing with the jewelry. I don't think that ulcer is anything to worry about, but as always if it changes colors, starts to get larger, oozing or more sore -- you need to contact the piercer and let them take a look at it or go to the E.R.
