In respect to this, how do you heal a flat piercing?
Gentle Salt Soak – make up a sterile, sea salt solution and soak your flat once a day. Since these piercings are often tucked into your ear a bit, a clean, damp paper towel should work just fine. Keeping your piercing clean with a very gentle cleansing will go a long way in healing up your new flat.
Consequently, how long does it take for a flat piercing to stop hurting? How long does the pain last? It is normal for your ear to hurt immediately after getting a cartilage piercing, pain that commonly lasts for two weeks to a month. Be careful to not sleep on the side that was pierced: Doing so will cause healing complications and unnecessary discomfort.
Also question is, how do you clean a flat ear piercing?
Saline is just a solution of salt and water. However, you should not use table salt (iodized salt) for cleaning piercings. Take one-fourth of a teaspoon of kosher salt or sea salt and stir it to 1 cup of warm distilled water. You can buy distilled water at most grocery stores.
