What Causes A Red Sore At The Tongue Web Near The Piercing Site?

Hello. I had my tongue web pierced for about a year now and just a few minutes ago it fell out. I went to the bathroom to see what had happened and it seems that the hole just stretched open allowing the piercing to come out. There is a small red ball on each side of the hole and there is now a very very tiny sliver of my web connecting those red balls. I have no pain right now and there was no bleeding. How do I help heal this correctly? Thank you.

Hello

well , it looks like that the piercing has become big , this can either be due to an infection , allergy or due to constant stretching.please meet your ent doctor as you may need to get it stitched so that the hole can become smaller again.

Thanks
