Hey I just turned sixteen and I just recently went and got my right side of my lip pierced but am quite worried as its scabbing. Would anyone please be able to tell me if this is just the natural process of healing or if it is infected? Ive been searching every where for anyone that could answer my question and if you do, thank you very much. X

This is usually part of the healing process. Be sure not to pick it. The only time to be concerned is if there is a discharge of any color other than white, that signals infection of one kind or another.

Perfectly normal usually heals by scabbing oozing and redness just as long as it doesn't last longer than 4-6 weeks
