Should you be using bactine on your verticle Hood piercing or not?
Domques
Not unless you really want to jump around and scream and yell. Bactine is not to be used on muscous tissue, it will enflame the tissue and the only way to settle the inflamation down is to irrigate the tissue under cool running water. Follow the instructions in the link below for best results with that piercing. http://www.pacificbodyjewellery.com/aftercare/female_piercing_care.htm
