Have A Lip Piercing, Cutting Into Lip. What Is It?
I have a lip peircing that I got about 6 weeks ago. I had a loop in it but seemed to be cutting into my lip. No pain however. I took out the loop and put in a bar. All else seems fine the "cut" looks healed already (4days) but I just notice a white line coming from the hole going all the way across the inside of my cheek. (From hole towards back of mouth. I don't understand the line? Can you advise me please?
