How do you treat an infected lip peircing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Remove the object: The very first thing you must do is get rid of the ring or whatever object you have in your lip. Once removed use hot moist soaks on the area and get to a doctor for an antibiotic. You will not get better if you keep the object in.
