I had three lip piercings and that particular thing never happened to me, although I did get infections. Whenever I got an infection I filled a small (think shot size) glass with a little bit of sea salt and warm water. Create a vaccuum with your lip in the cup and soak that baby for at least 5 minutes. Do that three times a day until you're healed up. I use this method as regular cleaning in the first months until it is fully healed. You could also try soaking a washcloth in HOT water and holding it to your lip as long as you can stand it. You will draw out any gross stuff in there by softening it up and incresing blood flow. Do not use ointments, peroxide, or alcohol for cleaning, this will irritate your lip. Make sure you are cleaning it in the shower with antibacterial soap once or twice a day. Use Listerine after EVERY meal or drink, other than water. And DON'T turn it, you will seriously mess it up then. Hope this helps you out.

Are you talking about a white, hard substance on the inside of your lip? That's normal...I forget what it is...but when I saw it for the first time I was so freaked out because I thought it was pus or something...so I went back to the piercer and she told me to take a q-tip, scrub REALLY hard over the white stuff, and it actually game off in one big, gross lump.
But you should go back to your piercers to make sure that's what it is, because I cant really tell by your description. They will tell you everything you need to do.

You goofy kids! Don't you know that your whole lip is probably rotting off? Honey, get yourself to the Dr or ER and get on an antibiotic while there is still time to save it and I am not kidding. My grand kids are doing the same thing, poking holes places you don't need one. You are not going to look goth and glamorous w/o a lip so get some help tonight. Good Luck from a granny who loves kids.
