No, it is actually one of the recommended aftercare treatments.
It is not appropriate to use Hibiclens antiseptic to clean your nose piercing because it does not favor quick healing; instead, use sea salt soaks.
You don't want to put Epsom Salt OR table salt on ANY piercing. They contain sugar and will cause infection. The ONLY thing to put on a fresh piercing is SEA SALT. Using 1/4tsp of sea salt with 8oz. of warm water, and soak the piercing for about 10 minutes twice a day. It is the best thing to help heal your piercing. When you are in the shower, use Dial soap to clean it also. But sea salt soaks are amazing for helping heal a piercing.
Alcohol should not be used on any piercing. Soaking your piercing in sea salt is best. you can also use non scented antibacterial soap to clean your piercing
Yes. Natural sea salt. Table salt can have things added to it and that can be bad for the piercing. Its just the safest bet :)
Any grocery store.
Soak your piercing in a mixture of warm water and natural sea salt. Put a pinch of sea salt into a shot glass full of warm water. Soak your piercing for about 5 mins no more than twice a day or you'll dry out the piercing. If the salt is too drying just use it every other day and use warm water instead. Don't ever use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide because it kills whats helping your piercing heal.
well, i did the day i got mine pierced.
It's best to use a sterile needle to do the piercing in the first place, but to keep the piercing from getting infected, I would suggest using 'Satin Thereputic Skin Cleanser'. This is an anitmicrobial soap made specifically for cleaning piercings. You should also soak the piercing in hot water mixed with non-iodized sea salt (not epsom salt) several times per day for the initial healing time. That happened to me. It's best just to take it out let it heal then do it again with a sterile needle and sterile nose ring. Second Answer Salt and water. It will sting. It must be SEA SALT, not table salt. I cannot stress this enough. Good luck. :)
Sea Salt Spray
You can't use the ointment but you can use the cream. The ointment is too thick and suffocates the piercing. You really don't need it though. Unless you scratch it with jewelery or something. Natural sea salt and water is fine for cleaning.
No, you shouldn't be using salt on the piercing at all if it is infected. Wash the piercing using lathered soap, work the soap into the piercing and then irrigate the piercing with running water while rotating or shuffling the jewellery to rinse the soap and infected dishcharge from the piercing.
I would recommend that you either try a gentle antibacterial soap and water, or you consult a physician. That could be a bad sign.
