Congrats on your New Piercing
We know you're excited to show it off, but it's super important to take care of it so it looks rad for as long as possible.
Piercing aftercare:
-
Clean the piercing twice a day with a saline solution or mild baby soap. Avoid using alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or other harsh cleaning products, as these can irritate the skin and delay healing.
-
Remove any crust or discharge from the piercing gently with a cotton swab. Avoid using cotton balls, as the fibers can get stuck in the piercing and cause infection.
-
Apply a thin layer of piercing aftercare ointment or a fragrance-free lotion to the piercing to keep it moisturised. Avoid using petroleum jelly, as it can trap bacteria and cause infection.
-
Avoid touching or playing with the piercing, as this can introduce bacteria and cause infection.
-
Avoid exposing the piercing to water or other irritants, such as chlorine or soap, for the first few weeks of healing.
-
Avoid tight or constricting clothing or jewellery, as this can irritate the piercing and impair healing.
