Alcohol that you drink; because it will make it get infected.

Alcohol you can get at a drug store to put on wounds; because it can sting and hurt you as well as ruin certain piercings and making some have fragments come off in your piercing.

Alcohol or peroxide will inflame the tissue around your new piercing making it burn and be very itchy... This means it will take much longer to heal...Stick to antibacterial soap to wash with and a mixture of sea salt and water to soak with. 1/4 tsp. to 8 oz, of warm water. Pour a little of the mixture on some cotton balls and press against the piercing to soak it.. Clean and soak just twice a day. Hope this helps

Can vodka be used to clean piercings?

No, and not because it's drinkable alcohol. Any form of alcohol kills the new cells that are healing the piercing along with bacteria. Peroxide and alcohol shouldn't be used on piercings. Soaking your piercing in salt water is good for piercings, and helps prevent and treat infections.


Disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide or alcohol kill bacteria but they should not be used to treat piercing infections?

That's right. If you check the bottle they should both say that they should not be used on puncture wounds and Ive actually seen piercings that have been caused to reject because of these products. I always tell my clients to use a salt water solution to treat infection (H2Ocean is great) and Triple Antibiotic Ointment to prevent infection.
