[|Human|] Good Evening. I got my tongue pierced and a couple of days after the piercing i noticed a lump under my chin and a bit towards the left side of it. Do not think it was there beforehand. Its been more than 2 months now, and the lump is still there. Is it possible to take such a long time for a glen to return back to normal? Could it be something more serious that needs to be checked out, such as a malignancy? Thank you in advance.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query painful lump on the chin after tongue piercing is mainly due to foreign body or infection. It could be due to insufficient saliva in mouth.  The most probable reason for the lump under the chin is sialolithiasis. It occurs due to collection of much in connective tissue from salivary gland duct of which get blocked by small calculi. I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist for proper diagnosis and to rule out causes like infection or lymph node swelling. In case of infection antibiotic treatment along with painkillers and incision and Chat Doctor.  Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory
