Take note: This is how you should take care of your piercings

Hydrater and take care of the perforated area

Adequate hydration and healthy diet are always important, also after putting on a new piercing.Avoid blows and chafing that can cause the perforated area to be irritated or that the slope is hooked, especially when sleeping.

How to wash the area?

To take care of a recent perforation it is advisable to wash the area with soap and water or a saline solution (such as physiological serum) twice a day.Avoid contact with alcohol, because it contributes to the drilling to dry and, if it does too much, you can crack and start bleeding, which means that the wound remains open.

IMPORTANT: Before touching your new piercing, you must wash your hands with soap and water.Next, you can moisten the area with clean fingers and completely clean the area.Then rinse with warm water.In addition, Smith recommends that 'you turn' the slope only when the area is wet and while you are cleaning it.

Look how it cures

It does not take the same time to heal the ear lobe as the cartilage or a tongue piercing.You must be clear that the drilling will be cured once the area stops hurting, to swell, secrete liquid and when the redness disappears.

Be a patient: the human body tries, by nature, to part with the foreign bodies and sometimes it takes more than others to heal.Therefore, put everything on your part to prevent it from becoming infected and to encourage the cure to be done thoroughly before trying to change the slope.
