Hi, I'm a piercer. you are experiencing discharge from the piercing... it's getting infected. have you been cleaning it like you should? keep that area and all fresh piercings as clean as possible.

ohhh ok doesn't sound too bad then... that can happen sometimes too. it's not really serious unless the piercing is pussing and/ or if your tongue becomes more swollen. when i pierced my tongue web for the first time i was 15 and my tongue was swollen and numb for a few days i had some white on my tongue as well because i cleaned it so much i think the listerine is what made my tongue pale colored. it was also around the middle. just take care of that piercing and if you start seeing puss or start feeling pain please take it out. take care hun.
