I hav a 2yr old lower lip pierce for a week now it has some pain. yesterday evening i felt numbness in my chin en lower lip then it went away. today the numbess is back also from evening time. shud i be worried? is it cancer related?

Not cancer: The piercing likely it a nerve and would expect it would normalize in several weeks maybe a month On average, human peripheral nerves regenerate at a rate of approximately 1 inch per month. This rate is close to the slow axonal transport rate and is largely dictated by the need to move neurofilaments and microtubules, building blocks of axons, through the long axons (6, 7).Oct 3, 2011
