Choose a mild, pH balanced cleanser, like a castile, glycerin soap – Crazy Chameleon makes great soaps, in two formulas.
After Care: Use a mild, PH–balanced soap, preferably one without moisturizers or chemicals. Glycerin, Oatmeal (like Crazy Chameleon Bar Soap, with Lavender, Teatree, and Oatmeal), and Castile based (like Chameleon Liquid Soap with Lavender and Teatree) soaps do very well.
Cleanse your hand thoroughly before cleaning or touching your piercing.
Twice daily, using a q-tip or finger, clean your piercing with your choice of soap on both ends of the hole. Work the soap inside the hole by sliding the jewelry back and forth in the hole. Rinse well with lots of warm water. Also, use saline solution, or sea salt and water, to help sooth and heal the piercing.
Saline or Sea Salt Soaks: Soaking your piercing for several minutes daily speeds healing and makes you much more comfortable.
Ratio of Sea Salt in Water: 1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt mixed well in 1 Cup Water. Increase or decrease ratio as needed.
DO NOT USE:
Rubbing Alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide, Triple – Antibiotic Ointment, Ear Care
Solutions, Lotions, or Moisturizers. We are also recommending that you limit
your use of antibacterial soaps, as they can irritate your new piercing.
DO NOT use hot tubs or whirlpool baths.
DO NOT apply gauze or bandages to your new body piercing.
DO NOT use chlorinated pools for at least 2 weeks after getting a
piercing. (Once the edges of the piercing scab over, then go swimming).
