White Stuff Without Blood While Cleaning The Area Of Piercing On Lower Lip. Which Should Be Used To Clean Betadine Or Fucide?
Hi,
I have my lower lip pierced and i only did it 2 days ago. The person who did it for me said i should only use betadine to keep it clean, but the pharmasist said i should use fucide. So im a bit lost? Also, i got the white stuff without blood come out of it when i cleaned it a while ago! Any suggestions?
Thank u soo much in advance

Hi
it can be fungal or bacterial infection.Use betadin.have a wash with salt water.fusidic acid is antibacterial also.you can use that after a betadine swipe also.If no improvement you will have to take oral antibiotics.Hope this help you.
