Internal vertical labret won't heal.
I've had my piercing for about 4 months and the infection keeps coming and going . It won't heal with the bar in my lip. I would like to take it out and let it close but I need to know what I need to do after it's out to keep it clean

Hi. Please get the piercing out... May be you are allergic to the metal of the said bar and this might be the reason for infection too. Such infections can even lead to ulcer formations later too which can have complications.
Next Steps
get the piercing removed. visit a dentist .they might prescribe you a course of antibiotics and mouthwash which will help in faster healing
