Can you put peroxide on a belly button piercing?
No, when I got my belly button pierced my piercer told me specifically not to use peroxide or alcohol on the piercing. If peroxide or alcohol gets on it, it'll be fine but it dries out your skin which isn't good for healing or cleaning. Use soapy warm water and a sea salt water mixture to throughly clean your piercing, that's what I used, as I was following my piercer's instructions. I've had my piercing for almost 7 months and I've never had a problem with it.
Can you use peroxide on a navel piercing?
No. Never ever ever use peroxide, alcohol, bactine or neosporin on ANY piercings. The chemicals in these products are too harsh for the piercing and will cause severe irritation, which may lead to infection. All you need to put on it is antibacterial (Dial) soap once a day.
Can you put peroxide in your mouth when you have a tongue piercing?
Short answer is YES. It's a forehead smacking question though. Why do you want to put peroxide in your mouth? Here is what my dentist said. The peroxide used for whitening is A. not the quite the same as the stuff sold in the first aid department for the store, and B. not swished about in the mouth. Peroxide causes gross looking bumps to grow on the tongue and softens enamel on your teeth which makes them more susceptible to cavities. So, over all, peroxide is not a good idea in your mouth. Yes, you can use it even though you have a tongue piercing. Our suggestion, if you are just hoping for disinfection, is Cepacol or Listerine, swished intently for two to three minutes. Yeppers, a full two minutes. Trust me, your eyes will be tearing up by then, but your piercing should be pretty clean and sanitary. Leave the peroxide OUT of your mouth for reasons that have NOTHING to do with your piercing. Yes, I have an oral piercing I have had for over twelve years. I have had numerous conversations with more than one dentist about that piercing and it's effect on my oral hygiene. (ie--broken teeth)

Do you have to have a stud pierce on your cartilage on the ear when you first get it?
no. if you are not prone to irritation or infection you should be ok. Many people do though, because they are not sure how they're cartilage will react to a strange metal and they just want to be on the safe side. cartilage piercings are also not changed as often as earlobe piercings and so people like to choose a fancier stud or ring.
What can be done when the cartilage is gone?
I had this happen in my right elbow elbow. so I had the joint cut out and a new metal one put in to replace it. We cant replace cartilage yet. but they are working on it.
Does peroxide really help infected belly button piercings?
No. You should never under any circumstances put anything on your piercing such as Peroxide, Alcohol, Neosporin or Bactine. Peroxide, Alcohol and Bactine are very drying to your piercing and the surrounding skin, and will just make the problem worse. Neosporin dries inside your piercing and clogs it, causing a flare up. Regardless of what people may say, the only thing that will fully cure an infected piercing are antibiotics. Other products may mask the symptoms, leading you to believe the infection is gone, but in all reality it isnt. If you think your piercing is infected, see your doctor for antibiotics.
Can swimming with a new cartilage piercing effect it?
Yes. Water is filled with germs and thats not good for a new piercing. It really increases the chances of infection. If it gets infected, you could end up with permanent scarring or disfigurement of the cartilage in the area. Just wait 2-3 months to put the piercing in the water. You can go swimming as long as you dont get the piercing wet. Cover it with a bandaid to prevent any water from being splashed on it and clean it well afterwards.
Help with changing from a stud to a hoop for your cartilage piercing?
definitely a stud, they're easier to sleep in, talk on the phone, and they cant be easily ripped out, accidently, you can get much more sizes, shapes and colours, that's why the peircer will recommend a stud, usually a la Bret.
How do you put back in an industrial piercing?
Industrial piercings don't have backs, it's one long barbell running through two diffrent piercings in the ear cartilage.
What if your belly button ring falls out?
Well if you still have the barbell and you can get it back in the piercing without damaging the piercing, then put it in and tape it down till you can get thread on balls for the ends. If you think you have issues of not being able to get the barbell back in go see your local body piercer and have them put it in for you. They can taper the piercing and put the barbell back in without damaging the piercing.
