Will a lip piercing scar go away?
Removing a piercing can leave a permanent mark. But, it’s completely fine if you will have a tiny scar on your lips. Your skin won’t go back to what it was once. You may have to spend the rest of your life with the scar that you created.
How do you prevent piercings from scarring?
If you’re prone to scarring, be sure to:
- regularly clean new piercings by following your piercer’s instructions.
- leave your jewelry alone while a piercing is healing.
- use only products recommended by your piercer.
- use silicone gel or sheets on new scars.

Why is it white around my lip piercing?
This clear-ish liquid is “lymph fluid,” it’s mostly white blood cells that your body has sent to your piercings to try and heal them up. Even up to a year (and potentially even after that), crusty discharge is normal and should simply and gently be cleaned away using a salt soak, once a day.
What can you not eat after lip piercing?
As your lip piercing heals, focus on foods that are soft and unlikely to get caught on your jewelry. This includes mashed potatoes, yogurt, and oatmeal. Anything chewy may require an additional salt rinse after eating.
