The tongue is one of the most sensitive body parts when it comes to piercings. Be aware of the signs of a tongue piercing infection.
Knowing the signs and symptoms of potential infections will help you detect them in time and treat them before they develop into more serious health complications.
Described below are some of the most important tongue piercing infection signs that you ought to be mindful of:
Signs of Tongue Piercing Infection:
The tongue should be fully healed within 6-8 weeks after the piercing has been done. In most cases, it is quite normal to experience some swelling and irritation during the first 2 weeks, but if these signs don’t disappear and other symptoms show up, it will be necessary to immediately consult your doctor and receive adequate medical treatments and antibiotic therapies.
Tongue piercing infections are mostly caused by different types of bacteria that live in the human mouth, which have the capacity to rapidly multiply and spread, giving raise to infections. If left untreated, these infections can lead to serious health problems.
But let’s take a look at some of the most common tongue piercing infection signs.
1. Swelling
As we have just mentioned above, it is normal to experience some swelling around the tongue area, immediately after you get your tongue pierced. However, if swelling persists, becomes worse, or is accompanied by difficulty swallowing and speaking, it is one of the first signs that you have an infection. This requires immediate medical attention and treatment.
2. Redness
Slight redness around the tongue area may also be normal during the healing period. But if it continues and is accompanied by swelling and pain, it is a sure sign of inflammation and infection.
3. Red streaks
If you notice red streaks radiating out of the piercing hole and running down the sides and the front your tongue, this indicates the presence of an advanced infection going on, which requires an immediate antibiotic treatment.
Red strikes come along with painful tenderness of the tongue and are sometimes accompanied by fever.
4. Bleeding
Although some bleeding may normally occur immediately after the piercing is done, bleeding that occurs after the initial healing process has completed is instead another sign that indicates an ongoing infection.
5. Discoloration and discharge
Any extreme discoloration of the tongue (green, yellow, purple or black) should be taken very seriously, as it indicates the advanced stage of an infection. In this case it is necessary to seek immediate medical attention.
Discoloration may also be accompanied by yellow or green discharge, which is the pus that comes out of the infected area. This also requires prompt and adequate antibiotic treatment.
6. Fever
A fever is a sign of infection in the body. If you develop a fever after getting a tongue piercing, it could be a sign of an infection.
Tongue Piercing Infection – Prevention and Treatment
It is possible to prevent tongue piercing infections, as well as to treat them at home in case symptoms and signs have been noticed in time.
1. To avoid any infection, it is fundamental to find a reputed and professional piercer, and inform yourself well about the piercing procedure.
The piercer you choose should have a license to practice, as well as adequate training and experience. He should also exercise all the necessary sanitary precautions during the entire process of piercing, such as using sterilized needles, instruments and tools, and wearing sterile gloves and face masks.
2. After the piercing is done, it is important to carefully follow all the aftercare instructions, as advised by the piercer.
3. You should always opt for plastic (polytetrafluorethylene or polypropylene) studs, since they gather less bacteria than stainless steel or titanium studs.
More tips
4. During the healing period you should avoid coffee, alcohol and cigarettes, and eat foods that are not spicy or irritating, such as mashed potatoes, bananas, cold soups, and other similar.
5. Another good way to prevent infections is to rinse your mouth after each meal. Salt and water is a very effective rinse to accelerate the healing process and treat infections in their initial stages.
6. If you develop an infection or suspect that you may have one, don’t ever take out the bar yourself. You will only worsen the situation.
Hopefully this post has helped you realize the importance of adequate sanitary precautions during the tongue piercing process, as well as of the appropriate aftercare steps, in order to prevent infections.

Salt and water is the best to rinse your tongue after u have it pierced
Is it ok if my tongue is yellowish. My hole tongue is and were the ball sits is a little crater of yellow stuff is that ok
When I got mine that’s how mine looked. I just brushed my tongue a little longer.
I got my tounge pierced on tuesday all of my tounge is yellow what does this mean ??
Hey I have a white ring around the bottom of my tongue where my tongue ring is what does it mean and it hurts sometimes
You need to brush your Tongue. The build up of yellow stuff is bacteria. You Tongue usually cleans itself on the roof of your mouth but because the ball is in the way your tongue can no longer do this. It’s not a sign of infection but your Tongue does need to be washed with a tooth brush. The ring around the piercing are just dead cells and perfectly normal although you need to start brushing them and the rest of your Tongue. Also use non alcohol mouth wash (the alcohol will irritate the piercing )
So the yellowish, and weird tasting stuff around the ball on the top and bottom of my tongue is just build up of dead cells and will go away if i brush it longer?
I don’t have any experience about the tongue piercing but i really want to have one, but before i do. i want to know those tips and effect after piercing is it normal if you can’t eat after the piercing or 2 to 3 days ago??? NOTICE ME PLS.
My tounge is all yellow and I got it done on tuesday is that a sign of infection ??
You have to brush your tongue as it’s a bacteria that will lurk around the area and may cause it to get infected so it’s always recommended that you do so
You should be okay, as white/creamy colors are safe in most cases, your tounge can’t scab over and all that is is white blood cells

I got my tongue pierced about a week ago. There is a yellowish color on my tongue! It doesn’t hurt or isn’t swollen. What does the yellow mean?? Should I be scard?? Help please..
That’s just bacteria. Your tongue usually scrapes itself on the roof of your mouth but it can’t because of the ball. Just brush your tongue really well & make sure you use a mouthwash that doesn’t have alcohol in it. If you do, your tongue could get dried out and turn a little white & slow down the healing process. Rinse with salt and water to speed it up and brush the ring gently to get rid of plaque that could get on it.
I’ve had my tongue pierced for 6 days and it’s been so sore and I haven’t been able to eat. A second ago I noticed some puss looking stuff around the ball on the top and bottom. I used my tweezers to get it out then I mouthwashed but it’s come back? My tongue is a yellow colour but it’s always been that way so I’m not stressing about that. But the stuff around the balls was a white colour and it was stringy and thick, like mucus. What do I do?!
I also have tonsillitis I don’t know if that makes a difference!
im having the problem did u find out what was it
It’s not infected so don’t worry. That is just dead cells coming out of the piercing. That will happen for a few days while the piercing is still healing.
My tongue is coated white is it infected? I had it pierced 3 days ago and I am very worried
No it is not infected. That is just bacteria. Just brush your tongue really well to get rid of it.

Hey, so I’ve had my tongue ring for about 6 1/2 months now and haven’t had any problems with it until a few days ago. It healed really good and I played with it a lot, I do smoke cigarettes, but I use mouth wash twice a day and after I smoke. Well a couple days ago I’ve had really bad cotton mouth and I can’t get rid of it to save my life. And I started getting bumps along the side of my tongue but not where near the piercing. I read that I could just be really dehydrated or I could be having an allergic reaction to something food or something that is affecting my whole mouth and throat. I didnt notice swelling on my tongue until about an hour ago and now my piercing is really sore and im starting to talk like I was when I first got it done (not as bad tho.) My boyfriend said that bc I play with it too much there could be a possibility that I may have ripped it? No bleeding, no puss, and no redness. If this might be a start to an infection I’d like to take of it right now bc its annoying :( any ideas of what I should do?!

I got my tongue pierced last year, drank alcohol the next day, smoked a cigarette right afterwards, everything was fine. I just made sure to use mouthwash after every cigarette and beer. I had to take it out due to work and it closed up, so I recently got it repierced about a month ago. Smoked a cig right after and drank again the next day. Still perfectly fine. Y’all just got some messed up tongues lol
I had my tongue pierced yesterday, and it didn’t hurt when I got it pierced. and it did not hurt afterwards, just a little sore 2 on a scale of 10. and it doesn’t hurt now, same amount of pain. and there is no pus. but it is a little white around the piercing hole on top, and I’ve gently, very gently scrubbed it with a toothbrush and it did not come off, it looks like my tongue with taste buds too. it’s a very light white. other than that everything is fine. is this normal? is it infected? Thanks
I am writing about my piercing that no longer feels okay when in for more than a couple days. Its been over 3 years since I got a tounge piercing and it was fine the first two years but now I can’t leave it in for more than a few days until it starts swelling and irritating the area and starts to feel worse and worse and I feel I have to take it out until the swelling and throbbing goes away and I wonder why

I just got my tongue done two days ago it kinda ripped should i take it out?

Had my tongue pierced a week ago but my tongue has turned a bluey-green colour. I suspect that it’s just from trying to suck my disinfectant mouthwash and water through the piercing to clean it because I constantly get food stuck in there… Should be normal right? Don’t have pus or any yellow colour, also almost no pain normal swelling and no heat/throbbing sensation. Don’t need to worry right? Thanks :)
I have my tongue pierced 3 and half months it has this yellow ring around the ball and its like pulse on the inside right next to the ball it hurts right now! What does this means
Actually, you should NEVER opt for plastic or acrylic jewery. Acrylic pieces contain chemicals that can me harmful to the body. Both plastic and acrylic are pores and when nicked or cracked with produce large amounts of bacteria to fester.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me iv had my tongue peirced for 4 years and this week it’s been really sore feels like I have an alsore on it but iv been to the place iv had it done n they said it looks oki just to keep rinsing my mouth out after every meal please help!!
A yellow color discharge is good. It looks like phlegm? That means your piercing is healing properly. Non alcoholic mouth wash is good for cleaning the piercing as well. If you take care of your mouth anyway your piercing will be fine. Its not that complicated.

It’s still a bit swollen and there’s some pus. Also the tongue is sort of white but it did this all before when the bacteria just got at it so I’ve been brushing it gently and rinsing with salt water.

Hi u truly need to allow your tongue to fully heal after getting it pierced.if you were given instructions on how to care and what things you can eat or drink after getting ur tongue pierced you really need to follow them.go easy on everything u drink an eat until ur swelling goes down.etc etc.

I’ve had a snake eyes (tip of tongue) piercing for over 2years and it still closes extremely fast, if I remove the jewelry for up to 30 minutes and hurts to force it back through, the other night I forgot to put it back in and fell asleep. After about 9 hours of leaving it out I forced it through again and it began to bleed. I debated about even putting it back in. It finally went back through but my tongue was bleeding(which stopped in less than 5 minutes) and my tongue was sore for about a day.. Is my piercing not fully healed? And how could I heal it after all of this time??
