Question
I had two lip piercings done and took them out two hours later. They have already formed abscesses. What do I do to get rid of these?

Soak them at least four times a day, for 10 minutes each time in salt water, either directly or with a really soaked cotton ball. If they do not improve on the first day, go see your doctor!
