text: facial piercing? i got a monroe piercing almost a week ago and i noticed this morning that some blood vessels bursted on the corner of my lip and it looks like a purple bruise... how do i take care of it and get rid of the bruise? hmm if it looks like a bruise i would not worry too much... i bruise to sh*t when i get piercied... and bruises can take a while to show them selves... jsut leave it and it should go by intself in a week ir so. but i would pop to the piercist who did it for you and have a chat with them... it is what they are there for and they wont mind putting your mind to rest or giv u some tips...
