Handling your body piercing at the beginning is the same as taking care of a minor wound. It's crucial to take excellent care of your piercing, particularly while the fistula hasn't developed yet.

Don't wear tight or unclean
garments on your new piercing. Your hands should be cleansed before
handling the piercing; after all, hands contain a lot of microorganisms.
Body piercing: Aftercare
Don'ts
* Don't take the jewelry out during the healing time. The wound will heal
better and won't shut as rapidly when you remove the jewelry for a short period.
*
Don't use any ointments on the piercing.
It's preferable to keep the piercing as dry as possible. Using creams will keep
the oxygen out and will decrease the rate of healing.
*
Avoid make-up, shaving cream, harsh soap, or
fragrant items near your piercing.
*
Don't hang charms from your jewelry until
the wound is totally healed
.
*
Avoid resting on the piercing while healing.
*
Don't over-clean. Cleaning the piercing
wound more than twice a day is not suggested, it will slow down the healing.
*
Don't put band-aids on your piercing. There
will not be adequate air circulation and the glue might create discomfort.
*
Avoid swimming pools, jacuzzis (the warm
air above the water surface retains a lot of germs), and lakes,... If there is
marine life, car oil, or children in the water, then it is not clean enough!
Whether you are going in the water, and you question if the water is clean
enough, then you may place a non-water-permeable wound sealer on the piercing
before going in.
It will prevent unclean water from entering the wound. Cleaning
the wound afterward will not be beneficial in avoiding any infection!
*
Avoid oral contact with bodily fluids that
are not your own! Your own bodily fluids like perspiration are not dangerous
for your piercing, but you do have to clean it.
Do's
* Wash your hands before any touch with the healing piercing!
* Wear clean and breathable textiles around the location of your new
piercing. Don't wear tight clothes around the piercing.
* Make your bed clean at all times.
*
Leave the beginning jewelry in for at least
the minimum healing time.
* A healthy lifestyle can help your piercing recover quicker. Staying
away from drugs and alcohol, eating healthy meals, and avoiding stress will
reveal their benefits.
* You should have a shower in
place of a bath. A bathtub tends to have loads of germs.
If you insist on bathing, clean the tub with a bleaching agent each time
before bathing, and rinse it with water. When you finish the bath, you can
rinse your piercing with water.
Cleaning solution for body piercing area
Mild saltwater soaks are advised (daily), they offer the finest effects
for expediting your recovery and boosting your comfort.
You should dissolve an amount equal to 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in a cup (8
oz.) containing warm water. Surely, the cup must be clean. Don't make the
solution any stronger since too much salt might get the piercing to burn.
Invert the cup over the region and soak directly for a few minutes. You
may also use a cotton ball soaked in salt water in replace of the direct
soaking when the piercing is in a tough spot.
Cleaning instructions after body piercing
Clean your piercing twice a day throughout the early healing phase.
Don't clean it too much, it will create inflammation. Stay away from your
piercing for the remainder of the day.
You must wash your hands using antibacterial soap and hot water before
you start the cleaning.
First, you have to clean the region of the piercing with warm water to
make sure the crusts that have developed are eliminated. Otherwise, they may go
into the piercing and the piercing can become infected.
Wash the area and the jewelry using the cleaning solution. Carefully
slide the piercing jewelry up and down to get the cleaning solution inside the
piercing. Let the solution do its thing for a minute.
You may wash normally, but don't get any more things than the cleaning
solution into your piercing on purpose.
Wash the piercing area adequately with running water. You should remove
all of the cleaning solutions.
Pull the piercing jewelry back and forth very carefully while washing so
that the solution from within the piercing is also eliminated.
Dry the area using tissues or gauze. Avoid cloth towels, they might
retain germs.
What's normal after body piercing?
Bleeding, bruising, and swelling is typical, but they don't hint at an
infection.
Tenderness and pain are not uncommon in the first few weeks. You might
experience burning, stinging, or hurting during the first days on and off.
Itching is also extremely prevalent.
The discharge of a fairly liquid, whitish-yellow fluid creates crusts at
the holes of the piercing. This is not pus. It includes blood plasma, lymph, and
dead cells. It's perfectly natural and signifies the healing process.
Keep the body piercing clean
If you detect anything weird, or the piercing becomes significantly
infected, call the piercer or a doctor.
If your piercing secretes pus, you need immediately visit a doctor for antibiotic therapy. The puncture should be remained at all times to
ensure the drainage of pus.
If the jewelry is removed, the
piercing might seal and you can have an abscess... Leave your jewelry in!!!
