✔ Wash Your Hands First – Always clean your hands thoroughly before touching your new piercing to prevent bacteria from causing an infection.

✔ Keep Jewelry In Place – Do not remove your starter earrings or jewelry for at least six weeks or more, even at night. Taking them out too soon may cause the piercing to close.

✔ Clean with Saline Solution – Use a sterile saline solution (like NeilMed Piercing Aftercare) 2-3 times daily to gently cleanse the area and promote healing.

✔ Avoid Bacteria & Irritants – Gently clean around the piercing to remove debris and prevent scabbing. Keep hair products, makeup, and dirty hands away from the area.

✔ Monitor for Signs of Infection – Keep an eye on your piercing for redness, swelling, excessive soreness, or yellow discharge. If these symptoms persist, contact us or seek medical attention, as they could indicate an infection.
