They told me to get Sea Salt , or Saline and spray that. Also they put in this peircing for 1 month, than another that i can't take out for 7 months , or until april! Just clean it in the shower. Go to your local like drug store like cvs or rite aid , and they have it!
Also "Dr. Bonners" Soap helps!

- number 1 do NOT use neosporin on it!
- also they told me to just use unscented dial liquid soap around it in the shower.
- dont pick at the crusty things that form. that's part of the healing process, and it's just like picking a scab - it'll keep coming back. but cleaning around it should help that a lot.
- you can get this stuff called H2Ocean. it's a sea salt spray that helps it heal. it's like $10-12 a bottle but it works really well. you can get it at a piercing parlor, hot topic, or online. spray it on there 2-3 times a day. [ bitterxsweet's advice column | Ask bitterxsweet A Question ]
