HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY NEW PIERCING?
-
Leave your jewelry in your new piercing for 6 weeks or more, even at night. Removing your starter jewelry too early may cause the piercing to close.
-
Keep clean:
-
Always wash your hands before touching newly pierced areas. This helps prevent infection.
-
Gently wash your piercing with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and water at least once a day. This, too, helps prevent infection.
-
Thoroughly rinse your piercings after washing them. You want to rinse away the soap thoroughly. Be sure to avoid getting water in places like your ear.
-
Avoid cleaning your piercing with hydrogen peroxide or antibacterial soaps, which can damage your healing skin.
-
-
Using petroleum jelly that comes in a squeeze tube, gently apply a thin coat around each opening. You always want to use a squeeze tube because it will prevent you from transferring germs from an open jar to your piercings. The petroleum jelly will also keep the piercing moist, which is important because a moist wound heals faster.
-
Keep an eye on your piercing. If the skin around your piercing gets sore, red, or puffy, or a hole oozes yellowish liquid, you may have an infection. See a board-certified dermatologist if any of these don't go away quickly. If the skin around your piercing raises, you may develop a type of scar called a keloid.
