Take Care of Your Piercings:
Earlobe piercing typically takes 2-3 months to heal, while cartilage piercing may need 6-8 months. Healing duration varies due to individual factors and aftercare compliance.
Do not remove or change jewelry until fully healed. If unsure, consult your piercer. For
possible infections (swelling, soreness, redness, pus), see a doctor within 24 hours.
Piercing Care Tips:
1
Shower Cleanse:
- Clean your piercing in the shower to soften the skin and gently remove crust
around your jewelry. - Use clear glycerin or antibacterial soap, but rinse thoroughly. Avoid scented or colored soaps.
- Do not over-clean, and never pick at your piercing.
2
Soaks:
- Prepare a saline soak with 1/4 tsp non-iodized sea salt in 8oz warm distilled
water. - Dip your piercing for 3-5 mins, morning and evening, ideally after a shower.
- Alternatively, use a saline spray to irrigate your piercing without rotating jewelry.
3
Sterile Spray:
- Use sterile saline sprays to saturate your piercing, avoiding jewelry rotation.
- You can also use a saline-soaked gauze or cotton swab to remove crust.
4
Hands-Off Approach:
- Leave your piercing alone, except for cleaning.
- Do not turn or spin your jewelry, as it can cause micro-tears and scar tissue.
- Minimize friction, bacterial transfer, and trauma from clothing or repetitive movement.
