What does it mean if the bottom of my new tongue ring has purple around the ball?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If brand new: This might just be from trauma - bleeding into tissue. However, if there is significant swelling, heat, redness, increased pain, purulent drainage - the would require medical intervention.
