What could be a small hard lump directly in front of a tongue piercing that is a few years old?

Is the lump a few years old, or is it relatively new? If it is old, it may be granulation (scar) tissue. Or it may be a benign (non-cancerous) tumor called a fibroma or lipoma. It may also be a reaction to the metal in the tongue jewelry. On the other hand, it could be a cancerous tumor. The likelihood of it being cancer is relatively remote, however, the chances increase with age and if you use tobacco or alcohol. The best way to know is to see an oral surgeon who can evaluate it and perform a procedure called a biopsy. In this simple procedure, the surgeon will numb your tongue and remove all or part of the lump. He will then send it to a pathologist who will look at it under a microscope and determine exactly what it is. It is always best to have unexplained lumps and bumps evaluated by a qualified health professional.

Can you smoke after getting your tongue peirced?
No! Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for 24-48 hours after the piercing has been done. Smoking will dry out the area too much and also could infect it. As soon as my tongue was pierced i was straight out the front and had a cigerette. My piecing never dried out or got infected. Its not that it will dry out your piercing. I does not do that at all. The nicotine in cigarettes slows down the healing process, causing the piercing to take longer to heal. It is the same concept with alcohol -- slows down the healing process. Some people still smoke and drink and are okay, but yet for other people their piercing may never heal if they continue to do it constantly.
Do you need to seek medical attention if your tongue piercing is more than 1 inch back from the tip?
No you do not in fact, the proper placement is at least that far back from the tip, depending on a person's tongue length. The placement varies and of course depends on the person, sometimes they wish it to be as far back as you can pierce it safely to allow for more piercings in front of them. Your piercer should've been careful to avoid the veins that are visable underneath for proper placement and a piercing that will heal well and correctly. If your piercing site is infected, still bleeding, painful or still severely swollen after the general 3 to 4 days after the initial piercing or your tongue is turning gray or black then yes, you should remove your piercing if you can, immediately, & seek medical attention.
How does a tongue piercing affect you?
if your tongue is between your front teeth when you suck it, you get an open bite. your front teeth can also stick out. i suck my tongue too but instead of it between my teeth, i fold my tongue in half and then suck it. that caused me to have an overbite because somehow in folding my tongue and sucking it, it caused my lower jaw to go in hence my overbite.
You got your tongue pierced less than a week ago and there is a lump in front of it on the top of your tongue that keeps coming back it is small white and gooey What is this Is it an infection?
Yeah that's normal and it will ease and disappear as the piercing heals. It's basically the same type of discharge that would occur with any other piercing except the discharge is on your tongue so it looks weird. Fuzzy tongue! It's OK it will go away just stay on your aftercare routine.
White lump in front of tongue piercing?
This is totally fine and normal. Don't sweat! All it is is the tongue's version of a scab. Since its a moist environment though, it's not going to be a normal looking/feeling scab that you would get on your skin. Basically, white blood cells rushing towards the excess bacteria in the wound, and it forms pus. The pus gradually just ends up forming a white lump near your piercing which will go away when your tongue is totally healed. Just keep rinsing with sea salt.

What do they use to pierced your tongue?
A gun with a needle like they use on ears. This is absolutely wrong! And actually, you shouldn't get your ears pierced with a gun either, because guns do not come apart, and thus cannot be properly sterilized. Also, at least in the US, working a piercing gun does not make you a licensed piercer. (Claire's, Icing, the Piercing Pagoda, and many other jewelry stores have each of their employees "trained" on using a piercing gun. Many people I know have gone back to a professional piercer to get their ears fixed.) A tongue piercing is done by using a clamp to hold the tongue in place and provide guidance for the piercing needle. The piercing needle (which should be opened from a sterile pack in front of you) is then slowly but firmly pushed through the tongue, while the piercer pays close attention to your body language to make sure no nerves are damaged during the process. If you really want the full details, call your local licensed piercer, and he or she should be able to give you all the info you need. If not, that's not the person you want poking holes in you!
