Is there supposed to be hardened skin around the tounge piercing three weeks into healing time?

Ok, i just got my tounge pierced exactly three weeks ago from today, and i'm assuming it's already healing or close to complete healing; but maybe the second week of the healing process my skin started to rise up around the bar (not the ball) and the skin is pretty much hardened. Is this normal? People tell me it's just sort of like a scab or callus or something and it may fall off later. Just as a simple scab would off of a normal wound... But, I'm not sure what to believe. It doesn't hurt, though... So, any advice would be very appreciated. :]

sounds like scar tissue. best thing is not to play with the piercing during the healing process as this aggrivates it and encourages scar tissue growth. it will go down eventually though. read http://www.bmezine.com for more information
Reply:Yeah your tongue will swell and hard slightly, however your tongue doesnt completey heal (hole stay open without tongue bar) for around a year, but it is safe to change it after a month. Pitty i let mine close up :(
Reply:Mine did weep slightly when i had it done...you will get a lump around the bar (if you put two fingers above tongue and thumb under you should feel it) when this goes down you should be able to get the bar changed.





If your worried i would go back to where you had it done and ask the guys there-better to be sat than sorry!
