Not had one myself, but seems to be the most painful piercing you can get? 

Never be worried about the pain, it hurts... if you can't take pain, don't take piercings 😛

For healing you can ask your shop for tips. Just be sure to keep it clean. And don't worry about an abscess to fast, let it grow a bit and plop it and clean it. no need to take the piercing out.   

But well.. hope it just heals without any problem. 

When I had my lip piercing, i did got a little abscess after plopping it a few times, it finally healed up.
 

For women I heard it's one of the worst to get done, for men I'm not sure. Either way, go topless as much as possible to let your skin breathe and also to minimise irritation. Cleanliness is your top priority.

@BrenGun Thank you! The pain is usually worth the piercing sooo xD And those abscesses you speak of, when I had 6 helix piercings the abscesses that would form were a nightmare 

@platy Thank you! It’s a good job I wear oversized baggy clothing too xD
