Piercing Aftercare

BODY PIERCING AFTERCARE STERILE WOUND-CARE SALINE DAILY AS NEEDED

 

1. Wash your hands thoroughly.

2. Either spray the saline directly on the piercing to liberally flush the piercing, or soak anon-woven gauze in saline and apply that to the piercing.

3. You may need to use a q-tip or non-woven gauze to clean away any debris or “crusties” that may have collected on the jewelry around the piercing.

4. It is not necessary to rinse this product away, however if you do rinse make sure it’s with clean, running water.

5. If your jewelry is threaded (barbells, etc.) check it to make sure it’s still tight! Remember “righty tighty, lefty loosey.”

CARING FOR YOUR NEW PIERCING

 

Let’s start with two very important things to remember: DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PIERCING.

The only time you will touch your piercing is when you are cleaning it, and you will first wash your hands.

DO NOT REMOVE YOUR JEWELRY. New piercings can shrink the moment jewelry is removed, making it painful or impossible to get it back in.

 

What is normal during the healing process: * Bleeding, bruising, and/or swelling are fairly common with a new piercing. * Some tenderness or discomfort in the area of a new piercing can be expected for several days or longer. Discoloration (redness) and itching during healing process are also fairly common. * Secretion of a whitish-yellow fluid (not pus) is part of the healing process and is to be expected. It is liquid when it leaves the body but dries into “crusties.” * Piercings will go through “ups and downs” while healing. They may seem healed for a while, and then regress. The key is to continue your cleaning routine throughout initial healing time. * Piercings (including healed piercings) that are not cleaned daily may smell unpleasant. This does not necessarily indicate a problem. * Jewelry should not be expected to rotate or move freely in most piercings, even after healing. • Most piercings will shrink or close very quickly if the jewelry is removed, so if you like your piercing it is vital to LEAVE YOUR JEWELRY IN AT ALL TIMES!
