Hi I have my labret pierced and it s healed well but now there s a bump on the inside of my lip where the post part of the bar is. (It s not growing over the stud.) I don t play with it at all. It has no discharge, no pain or anything but it s almost shaped like a mushroom. What is it and is there anything I can do at home to help it go away?
Hello and thank you for your question. From your description it sounds like you may have formed a keloid in the area. This is an overgrowth of scar tissue. Sometimes a doctor can remove this or inject it with a steroid to make it go away. I do not think you can treat this at home. If it has not been there long it may go away on its own. If it has been there for a long time then you will probably need to see a doctor for removal.
