Like the title says, At this point I want to give up and just take these out. I got these the week before Halloween. It’s now been 7 weeks. It became alarming it was embedding maybe two weeks after I got my piercing, It didn’t hurt at all, just felt tight and skin was growing over. I got my first upsize about three weeks in.

I upsized just the one bar a second time, about two weeks after the first upsize. At this point if I go any longer it will get caught on my teeth 24-7. The photos are before and after the second upsize. 

I don’t smoke, don’t drink, rinsed twice a day and after every meal with mouthwash or water, eventually stopped and just started to rinse after every meal with water. I clean the front with a saline solution from walgreens, I don’t touch it or use a qtip and i rinse with water after. I don’t eat spicy foods, at worst I eat lots of high sodium foods. I drink lots of caffeine like soda and energy drinks, which might be what’s doing it but I need it. I’ve tried drinking every drink with straws. I don’t play with it, but it gets caught or painfully snagged atleast once almost every time I eat and it moves a lot when I talk and I talk a lot for my job. I sleep on my back, but it feels like overnight it always gets worse. i’ve been to three piercers now who do not know what to do. There’s absolutely no pain, every upsize has been 100% painless. When it gets snagged from either side it barely hurts, it feels completely healed besides the bumps. 

Now because i’ve been worried so much about this piercing I feel like my other ones now developing the same bump even though i’ve left it absolutely alone and it doesn’t get caught on anything. The last photo was taking this morning right after waking up, and the bump on the right is bigger than it’s been before with no snagging. Any advice would be appreciated, I don’t want to have to take them out. 

My lip is eating my piercing, help!
