To ensure safe healing and prevent infection, follow these tips:Always wash your hands before touching your piercing.Clean the area twice daily with a saline solution (sterile water and sea salt) or a product recommended by your piercer. Avoid alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or harsh soaps. (Apply the spray to all exposed areas, such as the front and back of an earring.)Do not remove the jewelry during the healing process, even if it appears healed externally.Avoid trauma and friction, such as tight clothing, bumps, or rubbing the area.If the piercing is in a sensitive area like the navel or chest, wear soft, cotton clothing and avoid items that can rub or irritate the skin.If the piercing is in the mouth, initially limit activities that could spread bacteria from person to person (such as deep kissing or direct oral contact).Do not touch or twist it unnecessarily, to avoid irritating the tissue.Avoid swimming pools, saunas, and seawater for the first few days, unless otherwise directed by your piercer.Follow the recommended healing times, which vary depending on the area (e.g., earlobe: 6-8 weeks; cartilage: up to 6 months or more).If you notice excessive redness, swelling, abnormal discharge, or persistent pain, contact a professional immediately.NOTE: It's normal for your piercing to experience slight redness or swelling in the first few hours or days; however, if these symptoms seem excessive or painful, contact us immediately.
