Please don’t use aquaphor or neosporin, or anything like that. They’re thick & slimy and can clog your piercing, not allowing it to breathe. It might have worked for a lucky few but it’s not recommended by professionals. Not all piercers are equal imo. Less is more! Wash 1x a day. Once. That’s all. Don’t touch it, don’t pick at it, and do not move the jewelry around while cleaning. If it moves by itself that’s okay, but do not force it as you will irritate it. The only exception to the 1x a day cleaning rule is if you enter a body of water or have done an activity that might dirty the piercing. In that case, wash 1x more after that activity. Avoid sleeping on it for a little and wear loose clothing. My piercer recommends Dr Bronner’s tea tree & castile soap. 2 drops in your palm, a few drops of water, make a nice lather. Put it on your piercing, let it sit for a little, then rinse of well. Pat dry with a paper towel(regular towels carry lots of bacteria).
