Septum piercing aftercare?

Question

My piercer told me to simply clean my piercing once a day with whatever soap and water I have at home. He also told me to just use my fingers to do it. I want to listen to him but I've heard from so many different places to clean it twice a day and with a saline solution, a sea salt rinse and Q-tips. Should I just keep doing what he's told me to do? I got it two days ago and really wanna make sure I'm cleaning it properly and giving it the best environment to heal.

Answer

His advice sounds awful and careless. Definitely use a q-tip and a saline solution or sea salt rinse to clean it.

Answer

I've had my septum, multiple lip piercings, and cheek piercings. I've always cleaned with soap and water. I did do it 2-3 times a day. I also put sea salt in got water, put gauze or a wash cloth in it and then let that sir on the piercing for a bit. It helps stop itching while it's healing.

Answer

I’d listen to him. Honestly your body is really good at doing one thing: healing itself. As long as you wash it and don’t touch it unless you’re actively washing it, your body will do the rest. That’s how I healed my septum and it’s fine.
