Can you wear a face mask right after facial piercing?
Wearing a face mask right after a facial piercing can irritate the area, delay healing, and increase the risk of infection. To minimize these issues, choose a soft, clean, loose-fitting mask that won’t rub directly on the piercing.
Avoid tight or disposable masks, as they may cause friction, and change your mask regularly to keep bacteria away from the healing site.
If needed, you can place a clean bandage over the piercing for temporary protection, but remove it afterward to allow airflow.
