While you're proudly displaying your latest body piercing, we ask that you remember what you told you before you left:
(1) Before touching - clean your hands thoroughly. If other people are touching your piercing, they also should have clean hands.
(2) Clean the area of the piercing 2-3 times a day using a salt and water solution. Apply antibiotic cream to both entrances of the jewelry, then rotate in both directions (back and forth). The salt water solution is made with 3-4 teaspoons of salt in a quart of warm water.
(3) Use antibiotic cream for 7-12 days only.
(4) Continue using the saltwater solution (saline) as described above in (2) for one-two months, or until healed. A mild antibacterial soap is recommended.
(5) The ring can be changed 2-3 months after piercing.
(6) Total healing should be expected in 9 months.
(7) At the first sign of infection, contact your Doctor and the Body Piercer immediately.
