Your piercer will recommend a saline rinse to use at least twice per day. You may also consider using your own DIY sea salt rinse, or even tea tree oil if your nose is especially tender. You’ll also want to make sure you leave the original jewelry in place until the piercing heals.
Moreover, how can I make my nose piercing heal faster?
Use proper aftercare
- cleaning the area with a saline solution twice a day.
- not removing jewelry before a nose piercing has healed, which can take 4–6 months.
- avoiding moving jewelry, playing with it, or knocking the piercing while getting dressed.
Then, what should I use for piercing aftercare? To care for a fresh piercing, wash with soap and water or saline solution—not rubbing alcohol—twice a day. “I find alcohol dries the piercing out,” Smith explains, “If it gets too dry, it cracks and bleeds, causing the wound to remain open. I prefer oil-based soaps for this reason.
Just so, should I cover my nose piercing at night?
Some people scratch their noses in their sleep, which may result in dislodging nose piercings. If you notice irritation around your piercing in the morning, or you have dislodged your piercing more than once, wear a piece of hypoallergenic tape over the piercing at night for an added layer of protection.
