BODY PIERCING & AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning your new piercing is a simple matter, and if you follow

our recommended instructions, you should experience a quick,

and relatively painless healing process.

Recommended Cleaning Solutions

We recommend that you purchase a sterile saline solution (such as NeilMed

Wound Wash), preferably one without any other additives.

If you cannot find a sterile saline solution, a sea salt mixture can be a good

alternative. Dissolve 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon sea salt into one cup (8 oz) of warm

distilled or bottled water. Stronger is not better; a saline solution that is too

strong can irritate the piercing.

Cleaning Instructions for Body Piercings

WASH your hands prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.

SALINE soak for five to ten minutes once or more per day. Invert a cup of

warm saline solution over the area to form a vacuum. For certain piercings it

may be easier to apply using a spray such as NeilMed Wound Wash.

If your piercer suggests using soap, gently lather around the piercing and

rinse as needed. Avoid using harsh soaps, or soaps with dyes, fragrances, or

triclosan.

RINSE thoroughly to remove all traces of the soap from the piercing. It is not

necessary to rotate the jewelry through the piercing.

AIR DRY Cloth towels can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry.

What is Normal?

Initially: some bruising around the area and swelling. Some bleeding as well.

During the healing process: itching, secretion of a whitish-yellow fluid (not

pus) that will form some crust on the jewelry. The skin may tighten around

the jewelry as it heals.

Once your piercing is healed: the jewelry may not move freely in the

piercing; do not force it. If you fail to include cleaning your piercing as part of

your daily hygiene routine, normal but smelly bodily discharge may

accumulate.

Your piercing may seem like it’s healed before it actually is. This is because

skin heals from the outside in, and although it feels fine, the interior remains

fragile. Be patient, and keep cleaning throughout the entire healing period.

Long after your piercing is healed it can shrink or close in seconds or minutes,

even after having been there for years. This varies from person to person; if

you like your piercing, keep jewelry in—do not leave your jewelry out for an

extended period of time.

What To Do

-DO always make sure your hands are clean before touching your piercing. It

is not necessary to rotate your jewelry, doing so is harmful.

-DO clean bedding, and wear clean non-restrictive clothing. This is essential to

limit the bacterial buildup and to keep your piercing from getting snagged.

-DO take showers, they tend to be safer than taking baths, as bathtubs can

harbor bacteria. If you bathe in a tub, clean it well before each use and rinse

off your piercing when you get out.

What To Avoid***

Avoid moving jewelry in an unhealed piercing, or picking away dried

discharge with your fingers.

Avoid cleaning with Betadine®, Hibiciens®, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or

soaps containing triclosan, as these can damage cells. Also avoid ointments

as they prevent necessary air circulation.

Avoid Bactine®, pierced ear care solutions and other products containing

Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK). These can be irritating and are not intended

for long term wound care.

Avoid over-cleaning. This can delay your healing and irritate your piercing.

Avoid undue trauma such as friction from clothing, excessive motion of the

area, playing with the jewelry, and vigorous cleaning. These activities can

cause the formation of unsightly and uncomfortable scar tissue, migration,

prolonged healing, and other complications.

Avoid all oral contact, rough play, and contact with others' bodily fluids on or

near your piercing during healing.

Avoid stress and recreational drug use, including excessive caffeine, nicotine,

and alcohol.

Avoid submerging the piercing in unhygienic bodies of water such as lakes,

pools, hot tubs, etc. Or, protect your piercing using a waterproof

wound-sealant bandage (such as 3M™ Nexcare™ Clean Seals). These are

available at most drugstores.

Avoid all beauty and personal care products on or around the piercing

including cosmetics, lotions, and sprays, etc.

Avoid hanging any charms or objects from your jewelry.

HINTS AND TIPS - Jewelry

Do not remove your piercing, unless there is a problem with the size, style, or

material of the initial jewelry. Leave it in the place for the entire healing

process. See your piercer to perform any jewelry change that becomes

necessary during healing.

If you require a medical procedure, contact your piercer if your jewelry must

be removed. There are non-metallic jewelry alternatives available.

Leave jewelry in at all times. Even old or healed piercings can shrink or close

in minutes even after having been there for years. If removed, re-insertion can

be difficult or impossible.

With clean hands or paper towel, regularly check threaded ends (aka Balls)

on your jewelry for tightness. ("Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.")

If you decide you no longer want your piercing, simply remove the jewelry (or

have a professional piercer remove it) and continue cleaning the piercing

until the hole closes. In most cases only a tiny mark will remain.

If you suspect your piercing is infected, your jewelry should be left in place to

allow for drainage of the infection. If the jewelry is removed, the surface cells

can close up, which can seal the infection inside the piercing channel and

result in an abscess.

Do not remove jewelry unless instructed to by a medical

professional.
