Question
With a lip piercing if you have had it in for a few years and have decided that you dont want it anymore... Like you have grown out of that phase... would it heal up normally??
Answer
I would call a local piercing studio, and maybe your doctor, but if you take out the jewelry and keep it clean, it should heal. If there is any sign of infection, see your doctor. Good luck!
