How do you keep a nose piercing clean?

Answer 1

DO NOT TAKE OUT THE PIERCING, in my case i took it out everyday, but then again i do not feel pain. If you feel pain do no take it out take a cotton ball with peroxide on it, and lightly squeeze it so it will drop the ligid on your nose, and it will help clean it, thats what i was told

Answer 2

Put a pinch(1/4 tsp) of natural sea salt into a shotglass of warm water. Use a cotton ball to soak some of it up and then put it on your piercing to let it soak for a bout 5 mins. Be sure to get the inside and outside. Rinse it off with warm water or else the salt wil dry out your skin. Do it 2-3 times a day.

Answer 3

Soak with natural sea salt mixed with water 2-3 times a day for 5mins. Put a pinch of salt into a shot glass of warm water. DO NOT use regular salt! Chemical burns will occer if you try regular salt. It has to be natural sea salt. You can use a gentle soap no more than 3 times a week or you'll dry out the piercing and surrounding skin. Antimicrobial soap is the best for piercings( sorry bout the red text...)

New Piercing Aftercare

1) Clean your nostril piercing twice a day for the next 3 days, once in the morning and again at night. You can do this in the shower or bath but you must always rinse the piercing out using fresh running water.

1a) Shampoo, Conditioner, Soap-up and Rinse off using your normal bath products. We don't want any other cleaning or grooming products to enter a piercing we are trying to clean. Leave cleaning your cartilage piercing as the last thing you clean before exiting the shower or bath.

1b) Using your Soft Soap brand liquid anti-bacterial soap apply a small amount to your hand and lather it up. Once lathered, apply this to the nostril piercing and jewellery, working it around the piercing by rotating the ring or shuffling the stud. Once the Soft Soap is in the piercing wait a few moments then rinse the piercing in running water again rotating the ring or shuffle the stud to ensure all the soap is out of the nostril and jewellery.

1c) Come out of the shower or bath and towel dry, but use a tissue to dry the nostril piercing out thoroughly (towels can retain bacteria and should not be used on new or fresh piercings)

After 3 Days

Follow the above steps 1a through 1c only once a day for the next three to four weeks. Between actual cleanings you may rotate the ring or shuffle the stud only under running water after you have soaped up and rinsed off and don't intend on using any other cleaning or grooming products.

After 4 Weeks

Follow the above steps 1a through 1c only once every 2 or 3 days for the next three to four months. Over cleaning is the number one cause of irritated piercings, striping the natural skin oils will tend to dry the cartilage piercing out causing it to look red and irritated.

Do Not use Sun Block, Sun Tan Lotion, Baby Oil or any other Skin Care product on a new or unseasoned piercing.

If you think you have trouble with your piercing contact your piercer and NEVER remove the jewellery from a suspected infected piercing.

Generally, the nose takes care of itself unless you harm it. When we breathe in air, it will clean and humidify itself. Allergies and cold cause problems with nose.

clean it twice a day with spectro jel and water
