{"title":"PIERCING AFTER CARE","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the first few months after piercing, it is extremely important to take good care of the new holes so they can heal properly. Apparently, each new piercing becomes a wound that, if left unattended or if harsh products are used, can prolong the discomfort and the healing process, and the piercing may not look aesthetically pleasing. Proper after piercing care helps to prevent infections and ensures that your piercing looks perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piercer should give the client instructions on how to take care of the piercings after the piercing procedure. These should be followed carefully until the new holes are completely healed. Below you will find instructions on how to care for a newly pierced ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHow to clean your piercing?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piercing can be cleaned with a special solution or soap and water, however, before cleaning the pierced area, first thoroughly wash your hands. Otherwise, bacteria can get into the new piercing, making the area vulnerable to infection. Try to move the new earring as little as possible, especially avoiding twisting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the healing process, piercings should be cleaned regularly 2-3 times a day. It’s recommended to set a reminder on your phone – for example, in the morning and in the evening, so you don’t forget to take care of the pierced area. Use disposable cotton buds or a paper towel for cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, other hygiene is just as important – while the piercing is healing, pay special attention to the cleanliness of your bed linen by washing and changing it regularly. If possible, try not to sleep on the side with the new earring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do not stick to a regular cleaning routine in the area around your earring, it poses various risks: irritation, infection, granuloma formation and scarring. You can usually tell if an area is infected by the way it changes, both in appearance and in the way it feels. If the area becomes very red, swollen or painful for a prolonged period of time, it may mean that something is wrong. In case you have any doubts about the healing process, you should see a specialist immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAcceptable treatments and products\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese products can help ensure that your new piercing or piercings bring you joy for a long time:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Caflon Ear Solution.\u003c\/em\u003e It is a product for the care of newly pierced ears.
