Essential Piercing Aftercare Tips
- 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
