Body Piercing Aftercare Body Piercing Aftercare and Remedies to Common Piercing Problems T.L.C.stands for tender loving care,and that is exactly what your new piercing is going to need. Slacking off on your aftercare or using harmful products will only prolong your discomfort and the healing process.Most piercers will give you aftercare instructions,and the general rule of thumb would be to follow their advice. General Piercing Aftercare What You May Need: • Sea Salt • Mild Anti-Bacterial or Antimicrobial Liquid a / ash(Like Provon or Satin) • Cotton Balls • Cotton-tipped Swabs • Small disposable cups(2-4 ounces) Cleaning Your Piercing: 1.First,wash your hands thoroughly.Never touch your piercing or jewelry with dirty hands. 2.Saturate a cotton ball with warm water,and gently wipe away any"crustier"that have gathered around the piercing site.Throw the cotton ball away. 3.Apply a generous amount of liquid soap to your fingertip,and apply to the piercing site and jewelry. Make sure you get the soap everywhere,but rotating the jewelry is not necessary as long as you work the soap around the piercing and jewelry completely. 4.Rinse the piercing and jewelry several times with warm water,ensuring that all soap has been removed. S.Dry your piercing with a clean paper towel and then dispose of it. 6.If pierced in the mouth:use NQN:ALCOHQL based mouth wash.Rinse your mouth after eating and drinking(this excludes water).If you are a smoker,rinse after each smokel Cleaning Tips • Although it's a very antiquated method,some piercers will still tell you to rotate your jewelry.This is not wrong per say,but I have found that it causes more problems than it solves.Any crusties or bacteria still on the jewelry are then introduced inside the raw piercing when the jewelry is rotated.This can cause irritation or even infection. It's best to just clean the piercing and jewelry thoroughly without actually moving It.
