    Tongue piercing swollen over ball
    Hi, I need help please. I've had my piercing
    For 2 years now, and then I started using this mouthwash with chlorhexidine digluconate, meant for gum inflammation and stuff, and now after about a week I've developed this growth around the ball of my piercing below. It's painful and a little scary. I don't know what to do. I've stopped using the mouthwash but I'm a bit worried about the growth.

    It's time to see your doctor. There's absolutely no way for anyone online, even a doctor, to tell you what's going on without seeing the growth.
