If your belly button piercing appears to be healing well and shows no signs of complications, you should continue to clean it for about four weeks. However, if you develop an infection, you’ll be stuck cleaning your piercing much longer than that.
In this way, what can I use to clean my belly button piercing besides sea salt?
Cleaning belly button piercing with soap and water
Water and a mild soap will do the job perfectly. Look for soap designed for sensitive skin, and avoid anything that’s heavily fragranced. The simplest way to wash your piercing is to do it whilst showering.
Likewise, people ask, can you use hand soap to clean belly button piercing? Can you use antibacterial soap on your belly button piercing? You can, but soap tends to be more drying than recommended aftercare products so isn’t ideal for longterm use. If you‘re short on cash and want a cheap cleaning solution, you can make saline at home using 1/4 teaspoon of rock salt in 100mls of warm water.
In this regard, should I move my belly button piercing while cleaning?
After about two days clean it with anti bacterial soap and a salt water solution. DO NOT move it around or play with it, doing this irritates the piercing.
