1. Wash your hands first with soap and water
before touching or cleaning the pierced area. (Don't let anyone
else touch the pierced area until it is healed.)
2. Remove any crusty skin from the site and
from the jewelry with warm water.
3. Gently wash the area around the piercing
with antibacterial soap (liquid soap works the best).
4. Gently rinse off all of the soap and crusty
discharge.
5. Gently dry the area with a paper towel
or plain white napkin. (Bacteria can stay in cloth towels.)
6. Do steps 1-5 twice a day until the
skin heals. (Over-washing or over-scrubbing can irritate
the area.)
7. Do NOT use antibacterial ointments because
they don't allow air to get to the area and they trap bacteria.
