I got my lip re pierced yesterday. The first time i got it done last year it barely hurt and there was no blood..this time it hurt alot more and it bled. Is that because they did it in the same place? How long should it bleed? Today im still getting a little blood, but not much.
Also..my lip isnt even swollen yet? And i was wondering if theres any way to speed up the healing process.
also i need advice on taking care of my piercing. Ive been cleaning the outside with peroxide and cleaning it in the shower, also rinsing with sea salt water. can i rinse with mouthwash? why or why not??

The bleeding should stop in a day or so, it' not realy normal, but it's also not something to be overly concerned about. Sometimes lips swell, sometimes they don't.
Proper aftercare is all you can do to 'speed' up the healing process. Stop using peroxide. It will dry out the skin, irritate the hell out of your piercing and slow the healing process. Do not use mouthwash for the same reasons. Just stick to the sea salt rinss 2-3 times a day, keep it clean and don't touch it.

STOP USING THE PEROXIDE THIS INSTANT!!!!
and promptly go kick the person who told you to do this arcane thing!
yes, please, use sea salt to rinse for about the first week (week .5 if you heal slow) twice a day, after brushing.
use the mouthwash to rinse your mouth after ANYTHING PASSES YOUR LIPS for the next three days.
for cleaning the thing i tell all my clients o do is use q-tips and wash the area with warm ater and clear, anti-bacterial, non-fragrance liquid soap.
please, stop usuing the peroxide. yes, it kills bacteria, but it also kills the GOOD bacteria that are helping you to heal.
..besides it stings like 8 b*tches on a b*tchbike.

Aging_goldfish = completely right.
I used to live in MI, and when I go back, I might have to get pierced by Aging_goldfish due to the fact that they actaully KNOW what they're talking about.
