I just got my tounge pierced about a month and a half ago. In the past 2-3 weeks i have had dead skin underneath my tounge surrounding the bottom ball. Ive tried to pull some of it away and suceeded a little bit but it bleeds if i pick at it to much... Is this normal, and what can I do for it?

Hi there...A little bit of dead skin and scar tissue surrounding the underside of a tounge piercing is completely normal..To keep it to a minimum, use warm salt water soaks 3 times a day, and brush the underside gently with a new toothbrush ( soft, like a childs toothbrush).

if your tounge has a bubble underneath it this means that the new skin is trying to heal.. nothing to worrie about it stops eventually

I called my piercer and he said that the white bumps are normal but not to pick at them...let them go away on their own.

Yeh, i've got this problem, it talks about using mouth wash? I use mouth wash but that FAQ #17 talks about his tounge going white. I'll try this but how do you get rid of it?!
