nose piercing
I recently pierced my nose myself (last thursday)
Since then, it hasn't gotten infected, it's just a little red (obviously)
I would like to keep it this way- I hear dial soap is good- should I continue using that? I've also been using alcohol- but I think that's drying out the outside of the piercing.
any tips on the best way to keep it clean and possibly make the redness/dryness go away?
thanks in advance ! (:

Nooo, don't use dial soap, or any antibacterial washes. They dry it out, making it red and sore and can clog up the piercing.
All you need is a teaspoon of sea salt and a cup of warm water. Clean your nose and hold a warm, salty compress onto it for about 10 minutes, twice a day.
I've had mine done 3 times (unfortunately for me I was careless and they fell out on boozy nights out =/) and it worked a charm.

My friend got hers peirced, and she got a bump or something on it. She crushed up and asprin and put it on there and let it sit for a while. You probably have to mix it with water..

I will say that when I had mine done professionally, they said not to use anti-bacterial soap, but mild soap. Also not to use rubbing alcohol.
