Throwaway because I’m so embarrassed.

I got my vertical labret in late January. This popped up on Wednesday. It has grown a little since. No pain. No pus.

When looking at pictures, my piercer said to soak it with sterile saline for 30 minutes every day for a few weeks. I’d love extra opinions to quell my anxiety. Should I remove it and forever mourn the loss? Or is it possible to keep it in, the bump goes away, and I become a baddie again?

Edit: Adding to say, I spoke with a doctor and they didn’t think it was infected!
