What should I avoid after getting a piercing?
After getting a piercing, there are several things you should avoid to ensure it heals properly and stays healthy. Avoid touching your piercing with dirty hands to prevent bacteria. Don’t swim in pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers, or oceans until your piercing is fully healed.
Avoid using harsh products like alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as they can irritate the skin. Stick to saline solution or gentle cleansers recommended by your piercer.
Let your piercing heal completely before changing the jewelry. Try not to sleep on the side with the piercing to prevent irritation. Resist the urge to touch or twist the jewelry.
