NO TOUCHY TOUCHY! Don’t twist it, don’t turn it, don’t touch it with your hands, don’t touch it with your towel, do not rub all over it with cotton buds, don’t sleep on it, don’t wear
tight clothes on it, do not rub it into kitty cats. I’M SERIOUS! Anything that causes movement pressure or friction on your piercing will not help it.
AVOID BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION. Again, NO TOUCHY TOUCHY! Dirty hands are the #1 source of healing problems. Keep other people’s bodily fluids away from it. Unclean
water is not nice either (lakes, rivers, pools, hot tubs.) Keep your area hygienic and change your sheets ;)
AVOID CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION. There is a gargantuan list of chemicals, solutions and materials that will irritate your piercing. However, there is a simple way to remember. I call it “the eye test” when unsure simply ask yourself “hmm…. Would I put this in my eyeball?” If the answer is no, it becomes quite clear that it is not for internal use. I do not care what your Auntie Jean says, tea tree oil is no good, rubbing alcohol is no good, iodine is no good PEROXIDE IS NO GOOD. On the same note, try to avoid more mild things like soap, makeup and shampoo also.
DO NOT REMOVE YOUR JEWELLERY. In the early stages of healing the skin can begin to fuse in seconds!
