We recommend using this solution at least three times daily during the initial healing period (6 weeks for an earlobe piercing and 12 weeks for a cartilage piercing). After the healing period has ended, we recommend that you continue using your ear care solution as needed to keep your new piercing and earrings clean.
Keeping this in consideration, what happens if you over clean a piercing?
NEVER knock the piercing or fiddle with it. OVER CLEANING WILL CAUSE INFECTION ! Showering as usual counts as cleaning your piercing so no further action is necessary. You do not need aftercare lotion because your body will heal your piercing naturally so please do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Additionally, how often should I soak my cartilage piercing?
Soak the piercing with salt water (or a pre-made saline solution for piercings) once or twice every day.
Do cartilage piercings get infected easily?
Cartilage piercings, which take place on the harder part of your ear, generally take longer to heal and can be more prone to infection.
Is a hoop or stud better for cartilage piercing?
Is a Hoop or Stud Better for Cartilage Piercings? It is always better to get a cartilage piercing initially done with a stud. It is easier for the piercing to heal on a long, straight post rather than a curved post.
