my labret piercing won’t stop bleeding!! pls help
age of piercing: 2 1/2 weeks jewelry shape: labret stud no the jewelry has not been downsized yet i’ve been brushing and mouth washing twice a day. cleaning my medusa piercing with saline and my labret with lukewarm water (since the bleeding) before that i was cleaning to twice a day with saline
hi!! i got my medusa and my labret done for my birthday on april 9th this year (so it’s only been two weeks). about a week after getting it, i was brushing my teeth and it just started gushing blood profusely. i’m talking about full on squirting. i went to the er because my piercer wasn’t open at the time (it was 12 am at night). to be expected the emergency room did nothing. fast forward i come home that night and at 5 am it just started gushing again. i was laying down this time not asleep because i was scared to so i haven’t really touched it since the first bleeding. eventually it ended up stopping again. i was applying a lot of pressure as well. the next day i go to my piercer and she said she saw a minor cut on the outside but nothing to be worried about.
fast forward. we’re at today (it’s been approximately a week and some change since the first major bleeding). i hasn’t bled since the first encounter. i’m eating something light then all of the sudden it started gushing again. i started freaking out. however this time it was a lot more blood and it was taking longer to stop. also whenever it bleeds there’s a lot of clotting so i don’t know what that means. if it’s a good or bad thing. after 30 mins i manage to stop it but it starts bleeding again bc i bent over to grab something. i’m totally out of options here. i don’t know what else to do and i’m scared for something like this to happen at work.
should i remove it myself or just leave it in? pls help
