– On the first 3 to 5 days after cleaning, apply a thin layer of ointment (Aquaphor, A&D ointment, Bacitracin).
In this manner, can you put ointment on a piercing?
DO NOT touch or play with your piercing while it is healing except when cleaning. … DO NOT use alcohol, peroxide or Betadine as they are overly strong and drying, which can hinder the healing process. DO NOTapply any ointment such as Bacitracin, Neosporin or any other “triple antibiotic” ointment on your piercing.
Use a cotton swab (Q-tip) with salt water to clean the area around the hole twice a day. Some recommend using hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, or antibiotic ointment but salt water disinfects and is less damaging to the skin tissue.
Just so, how do you rehydrate a new piercing?
Sea salt solution enhanced with tea tree oil is by far the best way to hydrate and moisturize both new and established piercings.
